Kyoto is a city where the future and the past co-mingle in a vibrant harmony. As sleek steel structures arise, setting the tone for modern architecture, traditional wooden machiya still line the streets. Kyoto was spared during World War II, and as a result is one of the only places left where traditional Japanese culture and architecture can still be fully explored; Hotel Granvia Kyoto is the perfect place to begin your journey. Incorporated with the customary Asian style is their use of modern furnishings, and an impressively, breath-taking use of futuristic architecture that is part of the Kyoto Station complex. Hotel Granvia offers striking views of Kyotoâ€(TM)s mountainous skyline, and luxury accommodations that combine natural elements with modern conveniences, a full gym as well as fourteen first class restaurants. Designed to meet all of your needs under one beautifully designed roof, Hotel Granvia gives you a private entrance to the wonders of this historic city.

We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Granvia Kyoto. The service was excellent throughout our visit – the staff were friendly, professional, and always happy to help. Our room was beautiful, clean, and comfortable, and we had a lovely view of the city. The only downside was that, because the hotel is located next to the train station, we could hear the trains and some music from outside. It wasn't too disruptive, but it's something to keep in mind if you're a light sleeper. Our biggest disappointment was that our children, aged 16 and 17, were not allowed to use the swimming pool or the fitness center because access is restricted to guests aged 18 and over. We had been looking forward to enjoying these facilities together as a family, so this was unfortunate.

This hotel is outstanding!! We absolutely loved our stay here whilst in Japan. The bedroom was incredible! Felt newly refurbished with all mod-cons! Incredible views of Kyoto tower from our room, located in the station but you would not know when in the beautiful hotel and its amazing reception area! Perfectly located for trains, metro and walk across the road to lots of bars/restaurants! Highly recommend and would love to return! Thank you for spoiling us!

We had a wonderful experience during our stay at this outstanding hotel. Our first night’s room, located right next to the elevator, had a truly gorgeous arrangement that completely impressed us. Although our second night’s room, just two doors away, was also very comfortable, the first room was truly exceptional. We deeply appreciate the hotel’s thoughtful effort in keeping us on the same high floor and arranging rooms close to the elevator for both of our stays. We would especially like to commend the front desk officer who welcomed us during our first check-in. She was extremely kind and helpful, and we were very grateful that she offered us an early check-in after our long journey from Kansai Airport, especially given our advanced age. The hotel’s location is truly enviable. Its close proximity to Kyoto Station and the metro makes it an ideal base for exploring the city, particularly for senior travellers. The many excellent restaurants and department stores nearby also made dining and shopping extremely convenient. The buffet breakfast was fantastic, with a great variety of options. Although the rooms are a little dated, they are spacious, beautifully kept, and immaculately maintained. Every member of staff we encountered was friendly, courteous, and helpful. In recognition of the hotel’s excellent service, we have absolutely no hesitation in staying here again and look forward to returning on our next visit to Kyoto.
