The Thai hotel and property development company will open a luxury Dusit Thani hotel in Kyoto’s vibrant Hanganji Monzen-machi district, only 850 meters from Kyoto Station, a popular tourist attraction and a major transport hub that handles over 200 million travellers a year, connecting the city to many parts of the country via the Shinkansen and other rail networks.
The Dusit Thani Kyoto builds on the foundation set by the group’s first hotel in the country, the lifestyle-oriented Asai Kyoto Shijo, which opened in June.
The new 147-room hotel has been designed to reflect the rich cultural heritage and stunning architecture of Kyoto, whilst inside, guests will find references to another ancient capital – Ayutthaya, Thailand – with subtle nods to the magnificent chedis for which the city is renowned.
Set around a serene courtyard, the hotel offers a wide range of facilities for business and leisure travellers, including a choice of F&B outlets, event spaces for up to 240 guests, a fitness centre, an indoor swimming pool and a signature Devarana Spa and Wellness centre.
“With our commitment to impeccable service, exceptional wellness and dining experiences, and unique fusion of Thai and Japanese hospitality, Dusit Thani Kyoto is primed to be a haven for luxury travellers seeking a harmonious blend of cultural appreciation, culinary indulgence, and ultimate relaxation,” said Gilles Cretallaz, COO, Dusit International.
“Our prime location near Kyoto Station ensures our guests can effortlessly navigate and discover the rich cultural heritage, iconic landmarks, and hidden gems that Kyoto offers. Whether it’s visiting the revered Nishi Honganji Temple or venturing further to explore the serene bamboo groves of Arashiyama or the historic charm of the Gion district, we’re delighted to provide a luxurious base for a memorable exploration of Kyoto’s treasures, ensuring guests can make the most of their visit – and enjoy a total Kyoto experience.”

Bamboo forests were serene during Corona, but no longer.
Any info on room sizes, choices, and costs?
Kyoto does not have stunning architecture at all. However, we love the city and its quaint little neighborhoods and unknown to tourists both foreign and Japanese some amazing tiny temples.
