About This Hotel
Six Senses Kyoto is where the hush of a hidden courtyard meets centuries of city rhythm under ancient cedar and temple rooftops.
In the heart of Higashiyama, just steps from Myoho-in Temple, Kyoto National Museum, and Sanjusangendo Buddhist Temple, Six Senses Kyoto feels like a thoughtfully curated passage through time and place. From its position opposite the 16th-century Toyokuni Shrine garden, the city unfolds in quiet intensity. Details drawn from Kyoto’s Heian era and folklore harmonize with contemporary design, giving the property a presence that feels rooted yet refreshingly alive.
Across 81 rooms and suites, discerning travelers find spaces that balance thoughtful proportion with an understated palette. Views look over the central courtyard, the Toyokuni Shrine garden, or Kyoto’s rooftops and treetops, offering shifting perspectives as day turns to dusk. Interiors reflect artisanal craft and subtle references to literary heritage, so each room feels like a frame for the city’s narratives rather than just a backdrop to sleep.
At Sekki, the ethos of Eat With Six Senses guides an exploration of Japan’s 24 micro-seasons through weekly-shifting menus rooted in local produce. The approach is mindful, not flashy, letting ingredients speak with nuance and clarity. For something lighter, Café Sekki offers finely brewed coffee and seasonal confections. Later in the evening, Nine Tails bar serves cocktails that play with European and Japanese influences, an ingenious final note to an evening in Kyoto’s culinary cadence.
Six Senses Spa builds on Zen culture and smart science, offering treatments that weave traditional methods with contemporary wellness protocols. There’s an indoor pool, a unique Watsu aquatic bodywork pool, a sauna, steam rooms, and a 24-hour fitness center. The Alchemy Bar invites guests to blend custom beauty scrubs, while the spa’s boutique and tea lounge extend the experience beyond therapy rooms. Programs span yoga, breathwork, and personalized health journeys, all designed with presence and purpose.
Beyond its facilities, the property stands out for the way it invites interaction with Kyoto itself. Earth Lab experiences link guests with sustainability and craft traditions. A garden pathway weaves between spaces, encouraging a wandering pace that mirrors Kyoto’s own rhythm of alleys, shrines, and hidden teahouses.
And so, arriving here feels less like entering a hotel and more like stepping into a living chapter of the city—just as the hushed courtyard suggested upon arrival, Six Senses Kyoto continually reveals itself in layered, gracious moments that echo long after departure.
