Accor has doubled its portfolio of MGallery hotels
in Japan, with the opening of the Kyoto Yura Hotel Nijo Jo Bettei
MGallery, the second in the country.
The luxury boutique hotel was designed by Yukio Hashimoto and is centred around a Japanese garden.
The hotel offers a collection of
25 rooms, from the 40-45 square metre Deluxe Room, to the 53
square metre Rikyu Suite. Select rooms feature balconies with
views towards Nijo Castle and all rooms overlook the Japanese
gardens.
The
hotel’s restaurant and bar, Singular, will specialise in French
cuisine, inspired by Japan's beauty and the rich culinary
traditions of Kyoto. Chef Susumu Okubo, who trained under the
French culinary masters Alain Ducasse and Pierre Gagnaire, will
lead the restaurant. Okubo most recently
served as Chef de Cuisine of the one-star Michelin restaurant,
Pierre, in Osaka.
Patrick Basset, Chief Operating Officer for
Accor, Upper Southeast & Northeast Asia and Maldives, said, “The opening of our second MGallery hotel in Japan
signals our confidence in this brand to offer something truly
distinctive to travellers. We know that our guests are continually
seeking authentic and original experiences, and we predict this to
be an even stronger trend in the years to come. With the opening
of Kyoto Yura Hotel Nijo Jo Bettei MGallery, we look forward to
welcoming guests to come and experience many memorable moments in
Kyoto, a charming city with countless unique stories to tell.”
The hotel
is located in close proximity to Nijo Castle – one of the
seventeen Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto, which has been
designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Nijo Jo Mae Station is just a
short walk away, offering guests convenient accessibility via the Tozai Subway Line. For the convenience of guests who travel by
train, the hotel offers a private transfer service from Kyoto
Station.
The hotel's General Manager is Yuko Sato.
