Hyatt Regency Kyoto

"This Higashiyama hotel is conveniently located next to Sanjusangendo – one of Kyoto’s most impressive temples – and across the road from the Kyoto National Museum. The interior, courtesy of design studio Super Potato, incorporates Japanese motifs, while each room has a backdrop of different-coloured kimono silks. The sizeable Regency Executive Suite has a tatami room and a cypress-wood bathtub and offers views over the Japanese garden. The hotel’s restaurants include Trattoria Sette – which serves Italian food – and Touzan, whose seasonal Japanese dishes are made from ingredients mostly sourced in and around Kyoto."
