You can now enjoy Banyan Tree hospitality on your next trip to Japan
Banyan Group, renowned for its purpose-driven approach to hospitality, has introduced the highly anticipated Banyan Tree Higashiyama Kyoto. Slated to open in the third quarter of 2024, this landmark debut marks the entry of the esteemed Banyan Tree brand into Japan, offering a luxurious haven in the heart of Kyoto’s historic Higashiyama Ward.
Prime Locale
Situated on the revered grounds of the former Hotel Ryozen, Banyan Tree Higashiyama Kyoto honours the city’s rich heritage while embracing sustainability for future generations. Boasting 52 elegantly appointed guestrooms, the hotel will feature the signature Banyan Tree Spa and two distinctive dining venues, promising an immersive and unforgettable experience.
Central to the hotel’s allure is its unique Noh stage, a tribute to Kyoto’s cultural legacy. Designed by renowned architect Kengo Kuma, this stage serves as the only Noh theatre within a Kyoto hotel, offering guests the opportunity to witness traditional Nohgaku performances amidst the serene beauty of Higashiyama.
Serene Relaxation
The hotel’s 52 guestrooms, conceptualised by Yukio Hashimoto, embody the essence of “yūgen,” mysterious, quiet beauty. Inspired by the concept of “hidden beauty revealed,” each room captivates with elements that engage all five senses, including large cypress wood bathtubs, tatami mats, and gold leaf accents.
Embracing sustainability, Banyan Tree Higashiyama Kyoto harmonises with its natural surroundings through three distinctive gardens and a bamboo grove. The hotel’s commitment to preserving cultural heritage extends to the preservation of historic stone walls and the cultivation of moss during construction.
Only In Kyoto
Guests can also indulge in Kyoto-specific treatments at the award-winning Banyan Tree Spa, offering bespoke experiences tailored to rejuvenate the mind, body, and spirit. Additionally, two unique dining venues showcase the culinary heritage of Kyoto, promising gastronomic delights for discerning palates.
To celebrate its opening, Banyan Tree Higashiyama Kyoto offers a special ‘Opening Offer’ for stays commencing from 26 July 2024, inviting guests to immerse themselves in the unparalleled luxury and cultural richness of this extraordinary destination.
