Property Description

Bringing the concept of the ryokan elegantly up to date is Sowaka Kyoto- a serene haven in the ancient heart of Japan. Fusing time honoured design elements with real creature comforts- the hotel is the perfect place to escape to after a day of exploring Kyoto. Artfully arranged around courtyards and trickling fountains- the suites and bedrooms feature minimalist furnishings with luxurious touches. Here- you can sleep on a cashmere mattress- soak in a warm cypress bath- and open sliding doors to reveal your private garden or balcony. Start your day with a Japanese or Western take on breakfast. Then get a bespoke glimpse of Japanese culture on private tours of ancient temples. Stroll through the atmospheric alleyways of the city at dusk- perhaps spotting a kimono clad geiko or maiko hurrying to their evening appointments. When night falls- Michelin starred La Bombance Gion is the hottest table in town. The dark elegance of the restaurant sets the stage for masterful dishes that- like the hotel itself- put a modern spin on Kyoto traditions. Sowaka Kyoto is a Small Luxury Hotels of the World property.
