Enjoy a private getaway at a Hotel on the west side of the Kyoto Imperial Palace.

Spacious guest rooms with a Kyoto townhouse-inspired design offer over 36 square meters of space, featuring original beds and bathrooms with separate shower areas to help you unwind after your journey. Our five restaurants serve a variety of delicious cuisines, including Kyoto-style kaiseki, teppanyaki, and Chinese dishes made with carefully selected local ingredients. We also provide a complimentary Shuttle Service near Exit 2 of the Karasuma Oike Subway Station. Just east of the Hotel lies the Kyoto Imperial Palace. To the north are Omotesenke, Urasenke, Mushanokoji Senke tea schools, and Raku family pottery associated with these traditions. A stroll around the Hotel offers glimpses into traditional townhouse lifestyles and centuries-old merchant businesses still thriving today.

  • Hospitality

    This is a hotel that never changes—always full of warm hospitality. As I’ve grown older along with the hotel, my schedule during stays has become more relaxed, and having Brighton as a place where I can truly unwind lets me enjoy Kyoto while properly recovering from the day’s fatigue. This time, Daitoku-ji and Ninna-ji were wonderful, and the concierge also recommended the Former Mitsui Family Shimogamo Villa and a nearby restaurant. To the north of the hotel, there are many places that feel quintessentially Kyoto.I also stay at hotels in Europe such as Paris and Florence, but this mid-sized hotel has a unique sense of comfort—so much so that I extended my stay by one night this time. The bell staff’s warmth is always outstanding as well. It’s my favorite hotel.

  • I was very satisfied.

    As always, I was thoroughly satisfied with everything, from the service to the in-room amenities. I also really enjoyed the exclusive evening illumination event at Toji Temple. With so few guests, I could take my time taking photos without worrying about people getting in the way. I even captured the five-story pagoda clearly reflected in the pond—a photo I will treasure. My thanks also go to all the staff who assisted us at the venue that day. It is a shame the hotel will be closed for a while starting in December, but I look forward to its reopening after the renovations.
