Hotel The Mitsui Kyoto, a new luxury hotel in the Japanese city of Kyoto, will open on November 3 and is accepting bookings.
The property has 161 guest rooms, which includes 22 suites (two Onsen suites and one presidential suite), where each room is a reimagining of the traditional Japanese tea room, created by using meticulously selected natural materials and time-honoured techniques. Located near the Nij?-jo Castle, the hotel architecture combines cultural artefacts from traditional Japanese culture and heritage of the Mitsui family, blended with modern design. The main gate or Kajiimiya Gate was originally constructed in 1703, which has been restored and relocated, to serve as the entrance of the hotel.
Design specialists such as Andr? Fu, Shunsaku Miyagi and Yohei Akao have designed the guest rooms, the lobby, the landscape, the spa and the restaurants and the team was led by Akira Kuryu.
The property is offering a special package between November 3, 2020 and March 21, 2021. During this time, the prices for a room per night, on a double-sharing basis/for two is ?730, which includes breakfast for two people and a voucher for ?75 which can be used for the restaurants or spa treatments.
General manager, Manabu Kusui said, ?Hotel The Mitsui Kyoto represents the true essence of Japan, along with some contemporary aspects. The brand concept- ?embracing Japan?s beauty? is embodied throughout the property, as we have merged tradition and modern philosophy across design, wellbeing, garden artistry and gastronomy. This is an exciting moment for all of us. As the hotel comes into fruition, the design team are adding the touches to make Hotel The Mitsui Kyoto, the ultimate emblem of Japan?s Beauty. My team and I look forward to opening the hotel and welcoming guests.?
