The Four Seasons has announced that they are accepting reservations for the opening of their hotel in Kyoto, Japan on October 15th. The brand new building is located within an 800-year-old traditional Japanese garden that itself lies at the foot of Higashiyama Mountain in the city’s historic temple district.
The hotel contains 123 suites decorated in a contemporary style informed by traditional Japanese design. Amenities include an exclusive sushi restaurant, a garden tea house, and an indoor swimming pool with an adjacent spa. Event spaces include a one-of-a-kind chapel which is sure to make the hotel a destination for wedding parties. There are also breathtaking views in all directions, including a view of the Kiyomizu-dera Temple which was built in the early 17th century. “Kyoto is one of the world’s most alluring cities, but she can be shy in revealing her secrets,” said Alex Porteous, general manager at the Four Seasons. “Our mission at Four Seasons is to help our guests discover her wonders and experience all the city has to offer.”
This announcement follows on the tail of the brand’s announcement that they will be accepting reservations for the Hotel Jakarta for arrivals beginning June 20.
