The Prince Kyoto Takaragaike, Autograph Collection

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.

This was my repeat stay. This time, after a while, I stayed in a Club Room and was able to relax in the calm interior. Cute sweets were prepared in the Room, which delighted me. The refrigerator was also stocked with plenty of complimentary drinks.The club lounge offers a relaxing atmosphere with views of a flowing waterfall and a beautiful courtyard. I’ve used many club lounges, but this is my favorite.Breakfast was also served in the club lounge buffet-style. The selection is small, but everything was very delicious. In the past it was served as a set breakfast, which I loved for both its taste and presentation, but this buffet style wasn’t bad either. When a small child tried to toast bread alone, Hotel staff quickly stayed close by to help. I had been watching with concern about possible burns, but they ensured the child’s safety while also being considerate so as not to disturb other guests—truly impressive.I will definitely stay again.
