Park Hyatt Kyoto

Park Hyatt Kyoto sits at 360 Masuyacho. The property lies a five-minute walk from Kodai-ji Temple and is within a ten-minute stroll of Maruyama Park.

The hotel manages to feel detached from the nearby Gion district despite being a fifteen-minute walk from its busiest streets. While most properties in this part of town compete to be part of the sightseeing circuit, this one uses its hillside position to retreat from the crowds entirely. The result is a quiet that is difficult to find in Kyoto, making it the right choice if you want the proximity to the city’s historic temples without the inevitable noise of the tour groups that follow.
