About the hotel

Nestled on a hillside beside the Kiyomizu-dera Temple and surrounded by a bamboo forest, Banyan Tree Higashiyama Kyoto offers a retreat in the heart of Japan’s cultural capital. This newly opened boutique hotel brings together the spirit of a traditional ryokan with contemporary luxury, offering a rare sense of tranquillity just moments from the atmospheric streets of Gion.

With just 52 spacious rooms, each elegantly styled with modern Japanese design and sweeping views of Kyoto’s historic cityscape, the hotel offers a heightened sense of privacy, exclusivity and calm. Select rooms feature private onsen baths, while shared indoor–outdoor thermal baths draw from natural hot springs.

Guests can unwind with award-winning treatments at the Banyan Tree Spa, enjoy haute Japanese cuisine and curated sake pairings at Ryozen Kaiseki or sip handcrafted cocktails in the bar. The property is also Kyoto’s only hotel to feature a Noh stage, offering curated cultural performances, and the only hotel with a Bamboo Pavilion.
