The Ritz-Carlton Kyoto is a luxury hotel in Kyoto set along the Kamogawa River, with a calm city address that puts Kyoto Shiyakushomae Subway Station within a short walk and Nijo-jo Castle just a few stops away. JR Kyoto Station is also easy to reach by subway, so moving across the city stays practical while you return to a quieter waterfront setting. Opened in February 2014, the property pairs traditional Kyoto esthetics with polished service and a strong sense of place. Guestrooms are among the most spacious in Kyoto, giving you room to settle in with a large flat-screen TV, a Blu-ray player, and a Nespresso coffee maker. In the private bathroom, a rain shower, bathtub, and mini LED TV add comfort after a day in the city.
