나라 호텔

This was my 8th stop on a classic Hotel tour.The atmosphere was wonderful, and I ended up extending my stay—spending three nights and four days in two rooms in the main building: Premium Classic and Premium Panorama Corner.Both Rooms were excellent, but personally I especially loved the ambiance of the Premium Classic. The Premium Panorama Corner has a sofa, so it’s great for relaxing. And since we were on the first floor this time, we could see deer up close outside the window in the morning and evening—they were adorable.The entire building has a charming design that truly conveys its history, and I found myself forgetting how time was passing just by looking around.With such a beautiful building, delicious food, and friendly staff, I was completely satisfied—three nights and four days still didn’t feel like enough.Now that the West Wing has reopened after renovation, I’d love to stay there next time.Nara Park is also within walking distance, making it an ideal base for sightseeing. The deer are cute and everyone is kind—Nara was amazing.

The only point deducted for the Facilities was that the parking lot was unavailable due to construction, so we had to use a nearby paid parking lot.Other than that, it was a perfect Accommodation.The Room was exotic with bamboo blinds, and the bathtub had claw feet. The shrimp and Eggs Benedict my wife had at dinner and breakfast came with Narazuke tartar sauce, which really let us experience Nara, and my beef stew at dinner truly lived up to its reputation as a signature dish.The kakinoha sushi we bought as a souvenir at the Hotel shop was also very delicious.
