We offer either an “International Breakfast” featuring carefully selected premium ingredients, including croissants from Pierre Hermé Paris and egg dishes made with “Hiragai Tamago WABISUKE” from Uji City, Kyoto Prefecture, or the “Asage no Suiki Zen,” a gentle Japanese set meal by Japanese Restaurant Suiki, showcasing meticulously chosen seasonal ingredients and delicate flavors.
A wide variety of guest activities to discover the new charms of the ancient capital
From complimentary activities like running or cycling through the historic cityscape to paid experiences where you learn from the Hotel’s dedicated gardener and create a one-of-a-kind miniature Japanese garden, we offer new ways to enjoy Kyoto—no matter how many times you visit.

From kaiseki cuisine that captures the four seasons in both presentation and flavor to modern Italian dishes, original cocktails, and Pierre Hermé Paris afternoon tea and pastries, enjoy a refined and artistic world of gourmet delights.

Inner peace begins with the refined tranquility of The Ritz-Carlton, Kyoto’s wellness Facility. With the gentle sound of a waterfall, LA PRAIRIE SPA features seven treatment rooms, including private spa suites, each designed in a calm, contemporary Japanese style.
