The Ritz-Carlton, Kyoto

The Ritz-Carlton Kyoto sits low beside the Kamo River, with the Higashiyama mountains visible beyond and landscaped Japanese gardens woven through the property. Its restrained scale is central to the experience: river views, crafted interiors and quiet courtyards weave the hotel into Kyoto’s low-rise urban rhythm.
