The Ritz-Carlton Kyoto Hotel

5-star luxury along the Kamogawa River in Kyoto

Rooms & Suites

The Ritz-Carlton Kyoto offers 134 guest rooms that are among the most spacious in Kyoto, each finished with traditional Japanese motifs. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame views of the Kamogawa River or the hotel's inner garden. Private bathrooms include a rain shower, a bathtub, and a mini LED TV built into the mirror.

Dining

Four on-site restaurants include Mizuki, serving Japanese kaiseki multi-course meals and sushi, and La Locanda, offering Italian dishes made with select ingredients from Japan and abroad. The Chef's Table by Katsuhito Inoue presents a menu that changes with Kyoto's 72 micro-seasons. Pierre Hermé Paris provides French pastries, including macarons, within the hotel.

Wellness & Spa

The ESPA spa has seven treatment rooms, including a spa suite, and offers massages, body treatments, facials, and couples massage. An indoor swimming pool with a tranquil waterfall backdrop is open year-round, and the 24-hour fitness center is equipped with yoga classes and a hot tub. Guests also have access to a sauna, steam room, and fitness/spa locker rooms.

Cultural Experiences

Complimentary guided bike tours of the Gion district depart each morning at 6:30 am. The hotel arranges sushi-making classes, traditional Japanese confectionery workshops, and sessions in origami and Japanese wrapping art for children. A kimono service allows guests to dress in traditional garments within a dedicated room.

The Ritz-Carlton Kyoto sits directly on the banks of the Kamogawa River, within a 3-minute walk of Kyoto Shiyakushomae Subway Station. Nijo-jo Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a 3-minute subway ride away, and the Kyoto Imperial Palace and Kamogawa Park are within easy reach.
