Courtyard by Marriott Kyoto Shijo Karasuma has opened in the heart of Japan’s former Imperial capital.
Nestled in the vibrant Shijo district, where timeless traditions meet the dynamic energy of modern city life, the new opening also marks the brand’s debut in Kyoto.
A Central Location
Ideally suited for business travel, Courtyard by Marriott Kyoto Shijo Karasuma is nestled in the geographical and cultural heart of Kyoto, where Shijo-dori (Shijo street) runs through some of Kyoto’s most iconic and vibrant neighbourhoods, including downtown Kyoto, Gion and Kawaramachi.
The hotel is strategically located within several minutes’ walk to Shiko and Karasuma subway stations, which conveniently link the area to Osaka (Kansai) International Airport, approximately 95 kilometres or about 1.5 hours’ train ride away via the JR Haruka Express.
Refined & Natural Interiors
The new hotel, with its beautiful interiors by leading architectural firm HBA, features 125 modern guest rooms inspired by modern Japanese style that create welcoming, relaxing spaces accented by contemporary wood and textured fabrics that echo the traditional Japanese refinement.
All guest rooms are furnished with Serta beds for exceptional comfort as well as complimentary Wi-Fi to keep guests connected during their visit to Kyoto.
A Base From Which to Work & Explore
Within the hotel, business travellers can enjoy Le Bon Vivre, an all-day dining restaurant operated by Shinshindo, a bakery with over 100 years of history in Kyoto. From Western-style breakfasts to dinner, the restaurant offers delightful dining experiences through bread, catering to a variety of occasions.
To keep guests moving forward and help them pursue their passions while on the road, the hotel offers a fully-equipped 24-hour Fitness Center with the latest Technogym machines to provide a complete workout.
“It is both a privilege and a great pleasure to open the first Courtyard hotel in Kyoto, and the first for the JR Tokai Group.” says General Manager, Tetsuji Onogi “Together with my team, I look forward to welcoming guests from around the world and ensuring their stay in Kyoto—a city where history, culture, and urban vibrancy are beautifully intertwined—becomes truly memorable.
