Banyan Tree Higashiyama Kyoto will feature 52 guestrooms when it opens in 3Q2024
Each room features traditional Japanese materials, including large cypress wood bathtubs, tatami mats, and natural wood elements.
Banyan Tree Higashiyama Kyoto has also constructed the only Noh stage in a Kyoto hotel, reflecting the traditional Japanese performing art, Nohgaku, which features supernatural themes such as ghosts and gods. Nohgaku has been around for 650 years and was designated a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2008. The stage serves as a venue for traditional Nohgaku, contemporary art performances, and musical events.
The hotel’s sustainable practices include preserving and reinforcing the historic stone walls from Hotel Ryozen, cultivating moss for the stone walls during construction, and maintaining existing symbolic trees and the bamboo grove.
Banyan Tree Higashiyama Kyoto stands on the former site of Hotel Ryozen, nestled in Kyoto’s renowned Higashiyama district, home to attractions such as Kiyomizu-dera Temple and Kodai-ji Temple. The site also boasts the rare Higashiyama Onsen hot spring.
