Four Seasons Hotel Kyoto

#thingstodo Amazing views and excellent staff and service. We had our wedding here and stayed two nights and enjoyed every second of it. We were given a room with amazing views of the historical pond garden and it was a splendid stay. The wedding staff provided exceptional service and they prepared everything for us. Especially the wedding coordinator; he helped plan everything even with the time zone difference. All the staff on the day of the wedding was excellent as well, they followed is the entire day to make sure all our needs are satisfied. They really made this experience stress free. I’ll definitely be coming back given the chance. This is certainly the nicest hotel on the planet. This is my first visit to Japan and I was willing to pay a premium to have a great room at a good location in Kyoto. There were no disappointments. The hotel is relatively new and absolutely beautiful. The service was uniformly excellent. Everyone I encountered spoke Very good English. Breakfast was included in the cost of our stay. They have extensive selections in Japanese food and Western food. We did not dine in the evening in any of the hotel restaurants, rather the concierge helped us select from some very interesting and excellent restaurants within a short cab ride of the hotel. The grounds of the hotel are adjacent to some gardens and a lagoon. We had selected a deluxe room, and when we arrived the reception staff offered us an upgrade to a garden view room.. We were given room 103 which I am sure is the best room in the hotel. See attached photograph from the living area of our suite. This hotel well deserves its five-star reputation
