The Bar/Lounge at The Westin Miyako Kyoto

"We have a few quibbles—the executive floor lounge and the gym are both too small—but the 501 rooms, all renovated in early 2007, are bright and spacious and couldn't be more comfortable; we prefer those with a city view and terrace"

"Some rooms on the fifth floor have huge terraces overlooking the valley, and Westin Executive Club floors add complimentary breakfast and evening cocktails in a private lounge"
