Ace Hotel Kyoto stands at a crossroads of ancient artistry and contemporary cool. Crafted in genuine dialogue with Kyoto’s historical and future legends, this boutique gem is guided by an East-meets-West philosophy, from the building’s interiors to its three distinct restaurants, each one helmed by a venerated American chef. There’s also Japan’s first Stumptown Coffee Roasters outpost and a verdant courtyard garden.
We’re in central Kyoto, a direct connection to Karasuma Oike Station South, which means after you’ve explored one of the best places to stay in the city you can catch the train to just about anywhere.
