"If there’s a unifying thread to all the Japanese hotels in Tablet’s selection, it has to be quality. Rarely, in this country, can a hotel — or anything else — get by on salesmanship alone. Craft is held in high regard here, and the result is a specific kind of boon for travelers: here, you occasionally find a hotel that’s quite simply much, much better than it needs to be. Which brings us around to the Junei Hotel Kyoto Imperial Palace West." - Tablet Hotels
