Suiran, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Kyoto

Set along a river in the beautiful Arashiyama countryside within the grounds of the Tenryu-ji temple, Suiran is composed of two 100 year-old buildings which have been carefully renovated to meet the high standards of a luxury resort.

With just 39 rooms, the Suiran offers guests a personal experience at a traditional Japanese hotel. Interiors have been designed in culturally significant hues and traditional motifs and there’s a lounge, restaurant, fitness centre and spa to enjoy.

Poised in western Kyoto’s scenic Ukyo-ku, 30 minutes drive or so away from the city centre, the hotel is a perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city and an ideal location for cherry blossom and autumn leaves viewing.
