Fodor's Expert Review The Westin Miyako Hotel
Sanjo-Keage, Kyoto, Kyoto-fu, 605-0052, Japan
At the foot of the Philosopher's Path and near the temple and shrine-filled Okazaki area, the renovated Westin Miyako is only minutes from major attractions. Separate cottages with Japanese-style rooms are available, and the views from the restaurants take on a magical quality at night when city lights are twinkling. For several decades this was the queen of Kyoto's hotels and the top choice of visiting celebrities, but newer high-end properties have eclipsed it.
PROS
- quiet area
- helpful concierge
- free transfer from Kyoto Station
CONS
- not within walking distance of downtown
- pool has limited hours
