Staying in Kyoto? Did you know you get better
value by booking flights and hotels together?

The Starwood Westin Miyake Kyoto is an urban resort located in the ancient capital of Japan, right next to the subway station and within walking distance of downtown yet surrounded by the green and beautiful Higashiyama Hills. With its 17 World Heritage Site, and abundant temples, shrines, palaces and gardens, Kyoto is a fascinating holiday destination, and the Westin Miyako provides a comfortable base from which to enjoy it.

Accommodation at the Westin Miyako ranges from Standard and Superior Rooms to Family rooms and Suites, all of which are decorated in simple and understated style with cherrywood furniture, and scenic city or garden views. All of the rooms feature a Westin Heavenly bed with hypo-allergenic and feather pillows, and all mod cons from flat screen TVs, international direct dial phones (including one in the bathroom), data port, complimentary Wi-Fi, iron and ironing board, and a refreshment centre. The sumptuous marble bathrooms have White Tea by Westin toiletries, hairdryers and slippers. For a really authentic experience, book one of the Japanese-style rooms , which feature tatami mats, tokonoma alcoves and custom furnishings. And the ultimate indulgence, the Luxury Suites have comfortably furnished living rooms, a balcony where you can sit and admire the gardens, and bathrooms with a Jacuzzi and Bvgari toiletries. Bliss.

The Westin Miyako Kyoto is designed as a peaceful retreat and offers plenty of ways to help you unwind. Enjoy an early morning hike on the bird-watching trail, or perhaps have a workout in the state-of-the-art gym, brush up your tennis on the outdoor court or have a dip in the outdoor lake-shaped pool, or swim a few lengths in the light-flooded indoor pool. Or simply stroll round the three Japanese style gardens, beautifully landscaped with shady maple and pine trees and soothing waterfalls. The Sothys Skin Care Salon & Spa offers an extensive menu of Japanese-style body treatments, massages and skin care services, so all in all there’s no excuse for not looking and feeling your best. And then there is the whole of Kyoto to explore, and the Concierge Desk will help you arrange everything from tickets to shows to babysitting services.

There are no shortage of dining options at The Westin. Aquablu offers all-day buffet and a la carte dining, while Grand View serves French and continental cuisine with panoramic views of the Kyoto and the mountains through its floor-to-ceiling windows, and Kacho is the place for authentic Japanese food. For finest beef and seafood cooked right in front of you, try Kunugi Teppanyaki, and for Cantonese cuisine with fine views Shishen is on the third floor. The Mayfair Tea Room serves a selection of Jing teas and speciality coffees, with delicious handmade cakes, chocolates and truffles. For drinks? The Moonlight Bar boasts the best margarita in town.
