Park Hyatt Kyoto

A clever, Jenga-like trick of design, the Park Hyatt fits into the temple-heavy maze of Kyoto's Higashiyama neighbourhood. Itself a melange of airy corridors and sunny garden paths, the hotel is more like an authentic Japanese ryokan than Park Hyatt property – although the level of hospitality proves otherwise! The staff have an uncanny ability to anticipate your needs and they relish the chance to prove their skills whether that's with a (not-to-be-missed) breakfast in your room or arranging the perfect day out. With a well-placed address, you'll be spoiled for choice when it comes to sightseeing in Kyoto.
