The Luxury Collection Debuts in Japan

Suiran, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Kyoto joins Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide. Owned by Mori Trust Co., the hotel marks the first Luxury Collection property in Japan.

The hotel will join a portfolio of 23 Luxury Collection hotels in Asia Pacific, including the recently opened Azure Qiantang a Luxury Collection Hotel, Hangzhou; the Castle Hotel, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Dalian; and the Grand Bharat, a Luxury Collection Resort, Gurgaon, New Delhi.

Scheduled to open in March 2015, Suiran, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Kyoto is being developed as a ryokan-style accommodation, or small Japanese inn. Set in the Arashiyama district in the western part of Kyoto, the hotel occupies part of the grounds of Tenryu-ji Temple, a UNESCO world heritage site. 

In addition to the newly built guestrooms and facilities, the hotel will preserve two original structures: Enmeikaku, built in 1899, and Hasshoken, constructed in 1910—both of which are currently undergoing extensive renovations and will house a signature restaurant and café.

The 39 guestrooms will be designed in culturally significant hues and traditional motifs. Amenities will include a lobby lounge, signature restaurant, meeting room, fitness center, and spa.
