"If you've only got a night or two in Kyoto, there's nothing as convenient as the 535-room Western-style Granvia, which sits, literally, on top of Kyoto Station."
Fodor's
"A fusion of ultramodern design with traditional Japanese style is what you'll find at this popular hotel above Kyoto Station."

"The hotel itself rises 15 stories, with its lobby sheltered under an abstract geodesic skylight and stilted over a shopping arcade."
