How do we rate a property?

We rate all our hotels, resorts, and lodges using our own bespoke grading system. We'll only invite a property into our collection once it's been assessed by one of our specialists. If it doesn't impress us, it doesn't make the cut.

From the quality of the food served in the restaurant to the amenities offered in each bedroom, we carefully rate each property to make sure it meets our high expectations.

About This Hotel

City

At Banyan Tree Higashiyama Kyoto, dawn light filters through bamboo leaves, casting shadows along wooden pathways. Here, in the heart of ancient Kyoto, the air hums with history while feeling vividly present.

Perched on a gentle rise beside the famed Kiyomizu-dera Temple in Kyoto’s Higashiyama and Gion district, Banyan Tree Higashiyama Kyoto unfolds quietly against a backdrop of bamboo and stone. The hotel’s architecture and gardens feel as if they’ve grown from the hillside itself, blurring boundaries between contemporary design and centuries-old traditions. A traditional noh stage and the lush bamboo garden are rare features for a city hotel here.

Inside the 52-room property, the design is thoughtful, a careful balance of tactile natural materials and modern comfort. Broad windows draw the cityscape and garden into your field of view with tatami mats and minimal wood accents that set a quiet rhythm that feels alive. Select suites incorporate private onsen baths fed by Kyoto’s natural springs—unexpected in an urban setting and deeply grounding.

Meals here are anchored by Ryozen, the hotel’s Japanese restaurant, where seasonal ingredients shape multi-course kaiseki menus that evolve throughout the year. Whether you’re starting with a delicate breakfast overlooking the Bamboo Pavilion or lingering over Fushi and Kaden kaiseki dinners, there’s a pronounced sense of local identity on the plate and in the service. Bar Ryozen, just steps away, offsets formal dining with a curated sake selection from Kyoto (and beyond), premium cocktails, and Kyoto-style afternoon tea, an elegant pause before or after dinner that feels rooted in its surroundings.

The on-site spa draws on both Banyan Tree’s global expertise and Japanese wellness traditions. It’s a space where steam and warm spring water meet experienced hands and intentional therapies. A signature offering combines private onsen bathing with a full-body treatment, marrying two modes of renewal in one sequence. For those who want to sustain their energy on the road, a well-equipped fitness center is tucked discreetly below.

From the flicker of morning light through swaying bamboo to the warmth of your private onsen at night, the essence of Banyan Tree Higashiyama Kyoto is best felt in the quiet spaces—the same spaces that first drew you here in your mind’s eye.
