Just a few meters away from the UNESCO World Heritage Site Tenryu-ji, the boutique hotel Suiran welcomes you with its luxurious accommodations, first-class restaurants, and an elegant spa. The Suiran is an oasis of calm in the midst of the lively city of Kyoto—here you can retreat to your Japanese-style yet modern room or suite and enjoy the silence. At the same time, bustling life unfolds right outside your door, and numerous attractions are within easy reach. After a day in the city or a tour of the region, the spa area, nestled in a beautiful garden, awaits you in the evening, where you can pamper yourself with healing and relaxing treatments.
Located right next to the jade-green Hozu River, Suiran is the perfect oasis of calm – yet not far from spectacular sights such as Kinkakuji Temple and Nishiki Market. Arashiyama is also next to the hotel, where you can explore the famous bamboo forest and monkey park with its animal inhabitants. You may also get to see the tradition of ukai, in which cormorants help fishermen catch trout. For sporting activities, visit the Suiran's fitness area or the Takao Golf Club, which can be reached in a few minutes by shuttle. Afterwards, pamper yourself in the hotel spa and relax as you reflect on the day's impressions.
The 39 rooms and suites at Suiran are decorated in a timeless and elegant style with classic Japanese elements, and the furnishings are modern and full of the amenities of luxury accommodation. Some of the rooms have an open-air bathroom with natural healing water from Arashiyama Onsen and a view of Arashiyama with its impressive bamboo forest. Aesthetically, the design of some of the accommodations is inspired by the moon, with rich blue tones and moon-shaped lights radiating a deep sense of calm. Other rooms are decorated in red and gold tones with tatami mat flooring, evoking a special feeling of warmth. The beds, designed especially for The Luxury Collection Hotels, promise you the utmost comfort and a restful night's sleep.
Three unique restaurants await you at Suiran: At Kyo-Suiran, you can sample traditional Japanese washoku cuisine with French influences. Fresh, seasonal ingredients are combined with Japanese classics such as miso and rice. While you dine, you can enjoy views of the Hozu River and the restaurant's traditional Japanese design. In a building over 100 years old, Café Hassui serves Japanese afternoon tea with delicious snacks such as Hisui mochi, confections filled with matcha. Teppanyaki Kansan serves exquisite Japanese delicacies with tender meat and aromatic seafood.
