Six Senses Kyoto Signifies the Brand’s Entry into Japan
Embodying a heady mix of no-filter landscapes, genuine hospitality and fascinating contrast of preserved ancient culture and ultra-modern shine, Japan is as sensuous as it is enticing.
Historically the largest city and still thought to be the heart of Japan, Kyoto is famed for its Buddhist temples, Shinto shrines, palaces, traditional Japanese architecture, and beautiful cherry gardens. Six Senses Kyoto will open in a prime location to provide an urban sanctuary and welcome recharge ready for the many festivals and cultural events on offer on the doorstep.
Oasis in downtown Kyoto
With its meandering paths through tranquil gardens and its feel-good spa, Six Senses Kyoto is sited in front of the Myoho-in temple and Tokyokuni-Jinja shrine and within walking distance of the colorful Gion district.
Visionary thinking BLINK Design Group has been brought on board to bring the Six Senses brand values to life through elegant designs while maximizing space, privacy, and views. The interiors contrast simple lines with earthy organic tones and a “beauty in the details” vibe, setting a calming and welcoming mood and celebrating authentic Japanese traditions and décor.
There will be a total of 81 guest rooms organized around a central courtyard, which connects guests to nature through its biophilic design as a garden of seasonal landscapes.
Six Senses Kyoto is set to open in 2024.
