A Hotel making its first debut in Asia, located within “ShinPuhKan,” supervised by Kengo Kuma.

Opened within "Shinpukan," a space that combines the preserved section of the historic former Kyoto Central Telephone Office with a newly constructed building, designed in collaboration between renowned Japanese architect Kengo Kuma and LA-based Commune Design.

  • We were able to spend a relaxing time in a wonderful Room. Both check-in and check-out were smooth. We only had breakfast, but the Japanese breakfast we chose after much deliberation was very delicious and made for a great start to the day. The location is also great, and we would like to stay again.

Introduction of the Accommodation

Exterior
Located in the heart of Kyoto, Karasuma Oike offers an exceptional location where tradition and modernity intersect.

This area, where the charm of an ancient capital blends seamlessly with urban sophistication, is dotted with traditional townhouses, serene temples and shrines, inspiring galleries, and cafes that continue to captivate travelers and creators from around the world. Ace Hotel Kyoto was born from the renovation of "Shinpukan," a symbolic landmark in Karasuma Oike. Utilizing the former Kyoto Central Telephone Office built during the Taisho era, this project was overseen by renowned architect Kengo Kuma in collaboration with Ace Hotel's partner Commune Design under the concept of "East Meets West." The interior features crafts and artworks created by Japanese artisans and international artists, offering a casual yet warm atmosphere throughout. Nearby attractions include Rokkakudo Temple (Chohoji), Nijo Castle, Kyoto International Manga Museum, and Nishiki Market—all within walking distance. Enjoy a stay filled with art and culture at Karasuma Oike where old meets new in Kyoto.

Eco Amenities

Sustainable Practices Beyond Trends

The Plastic Resource Circulation Promotion Act, which requires businesses to reduce specific plastic products, came into effect on April 1, 2022. This has sparked a global movement among various businesses to reduce plastic usage and prioritize environmental sustainability. At Ace Hotel Kyoto, we have embraced eco-friendliness since our opening by taking steps such as replacing plastic room keys with wooden ones to minimize the use of plastics. We provide eco-friendly amenities not as a passing trend but with the ultimate goal of inspiring each individual to change their behavior. Please feel free to take our eco-amenities with you and reuse them on your next journey.

Dog-Friendly

Travel with Your Beloved Dog

At Ace Hotel Kyoto, we offer "dog-friendly" Rooms where you can stay with your beloved dog. The Room is equipped with welcome amenities and supplies for your dog, ensuring a comfortable stay. Additionally, there are restaurants, cafes, and salons nearby that welcome dogs. Many of our Hotel staff are dog lovers and often relax with their pets in the office, reflecting their deep affection for dogs. We are happy to assist you with recommendations for nearby spots or walking courses. Enjoy the city and culture of Karasuma Oike in Kyoto to the fullest with your furry companion!

Notice from the Accommodation

  • Introducing Our Connecting Rooms

    For families and friends traveling together, we have introduced new connecting Rooms that link a “Standard King” and a “Standard Twin” with an interior door, offering a spacious and relaxing stay.
    You can move freely between the two Rooms without going out into the hallway, allowing you to enjoy time together while still maintaining privacy.

    This setup is ideal for group trips of 3–4 guests, whether with family or friends.
    Each Room has its own bathroom, sink, and toilet, so even larger groups can get ready smoothly in the morning without feeling rushed.

    When making your Reservation, please select two Rooms—one Standard King and one Standard Twin—and write “Connecting Room requested” in the request field.
    As connecting Rooms are limited in number, please be sure to include this request.
