Accor has announced its second MGallery property in Japan with the opening of Kyoto Yura Hotel Nijo Jo Bettei MGallery.
The hotel is located in close proximity to Nijo Castle Kyoto, one of the 17 historic monuments of Ancient Kyoto, which has been designated by UNESCO as a world heritage site.
The hotel is just at a short distance from Nijo Jo Mae station, offering guests easy accessibility via the Tozai Subway Line. For those travelling by train, the hotel offers a private transfer service from Kyoto Station.
Nearby attractions include the Kyoto Gosho and the Imperial Palace.
Taking inspiration from the Nijo Castle, renowned architect Yukio Hashimoto has designed this hotel. It features 25 well-equipped rooms overlooking the Japanese gardens. Some in-room amenities include espresso machines, mini-bar facilities, and separate bathrooms.
On the F&B front, there is Singular, which specialises in French delights, inspired by Japan’s beauty and the rich culinary traditions of Kyoto.
