"This small hotel on Oike Dori was built some 30 years ago, but it achieves an even older ambience in its lobby with the clever use of antique-looking lighting and decor."

Simple rooms are soundproof, but I still think those that face away from Oike Dori are quieter; ask for one on a higher floor.

"A Western-style hotel that is very well located on the main shopping street and just round the corner from the Kyoto Museum."

For runners, this is a great location; ask for a map of nearby wooded trails.

"At the foot of the mountains, the Westin Miyako feels far from the city while retaining great access to downtown."

Recharge with a facial or body treatment at Sothys Skin Care Salon on the third floor, or savor Jing tea and truffles at the Mayfair Tea Room.

"An elegant and luxurious hotel, with an annex styled as a Japanese tea room for those wanting ryokan-style accommodation."
Time Out
"The setting can’t be faulted: the 501-room Westin sits against a verdant mountain and boasts gardens by master Jihei Ogawa and his son."
