Park Hyatt opening in Kyoto in 2019
Hyatt Hotels and Resorts is planning to open a new hotel in Kyoto. Park Hyatt Kyoto will be located within the grounds of the Kyoyamato Restaurant in Higashiyama-ku, which is about 600 meters from Kiyomizu-dera temple. The property was originally part of the estate of a sub temple and includes a tea room established 360 years ago.
Details on the Kyoto property have yet to be announced, but it is expected that the project will include 70 guest rooms. The restaurant will continue to operate after the hotel has opened. Takenaka Corporation will lease the land from the owner and build a 4-storey hotel which will then be leased to Hyatt. Construction will begin by the end of 2016 with the hotel scheduled to open in 2019.Read more
