Its predecessor, the Kyoto Station Hotel, opened in 1928 as one of the celebratory projects for the Emperor’s enthronement ceremony. The nostalgic modern space that spreads out around the hotel’s symbol “Kanjin no Kyoto Lantern” has won numerous spatial awards. In April 2021, we announced a new concept, “Nostalgic Journey,” and while inheriting the spirit of “hospitality” that we have cultivated over many years, we will welcome customers with services that meet the needs of the times.
