4 Stars Hotels in Kyoto

Kyoto is a beautiful city that is filled with history and culture. In fact, 20 per cent of the country’s National Treasures are located here, as is Japan’s largest geisha scene. There is so much here to offer overseas visitors, from traditional architecture and culture to a large selection of shopping centres and glass and steel buildings. The city also stretches to the tea plantations and rolling hills of Uji and the popular Lake Biwa.

There are plenty of accommodation options in Kyoto to suit all types of travellers, including those who want to enjoy a few finer touches. Affluent travellers will find nearly 50 four-star hotels in Kyoto, some of which are big name properties like the popular Hyatt Regency Kyoto, and others that are not, like the Kyoto Century Hotel. Regardless, all properties of this class have a wide range of services and facilities that are typical in hotels of this category.

The Hyatt Regency Kyoto is located in Higashiyama, which is a stunning area that is home to the geisha district of Gion and the Philosopher's Path. It is an exceptional property that boasts a tranquil spa and a fitness centre, and even offers yoga classes. Guests can also enjoy wining and dining in one of its seven venues. Rooms at the Hyatt Regency Kyoto are just as impressive as the rest of the property.

The Kyoto Century Hotel sits in the shopping district of Shimogyo-ku close to Kyoto Station. It is a large, 10-level, four-star property that is popular for meetings and special events, and is especially great for holding a wedding. The Kyoto Century Hotel also boasts six wining and dining options where guests can enjoy everything from aged wagyu beef to traditional Kyoto cuisine.

The majority of four-star hotels in Kyoto are in Central Kyoto and Higashiyama where attractions include Nijo Castle, To-Ji Temple, Kiyomizu Temple, Ginkakuji and the Kyoto Imperial Palace. There are also a few excellent Kyoto 4-star hotels outside of the city centre surrounded by natural scenery, like Ryotei Rangetsu in Ukyo and the Biwako Hotel in Otsu.
