The Prince Kyoto Takaragaike, Autograph Collection

It was a Hotel in a quiet, nature-filled setting—perfect for switching off and relaxing at ease.Since I stayed on a weekday, the club lounge wasn’t very crowded, and I was able to enjoy drinks slowly while looking out over the garden. Time passed gently, and I spent the stay feeling truly elegant and at peace.They also provided in-Room services such as welcome sweets and sparkling wine. Although the bathroom was a unit bath, the bathtub was spacious, and they even prepared bath salts, which made me feel that the entire Hotel was a place where you can genuinely unwind.This time I accidentally forgot to visit the tea lounge, and it was also a bit disappointing that the lobby staircase was under construction—but I’ll take that as something to look forward to next time. It’s a Hotel I would definitely love to visit again.

It was a wonderful stay, and I was very satisfied, with the unique aesthetic of architect Togo Murano felt throughout.The Hotel is surrounded by lush nature, making it pleasant to enjoy a relaxing walk. At the same time, taking the subway gets you to the city center in about 15 minutes, so access is very convenient.The breakfast I had been looking forward to offered just the right variety for both Western and Japanese options, and everything was delicious.Although I don’t usually wear provided pajamas, they matched the Hotel’s refined atmosphere perfectly, so I enjoyed wearing them this time.The walk from the elevator to my room was a bit long, but being able to stroll while admiring the beautiful courtyard view through the windows made even that travel time feel like a relaxing moment.
