When Six Senses Kyoto launches in spring 2024, it will mark the brand’s debut in Japan, in collaboration with Tokyo-based Wealth Management.

The hotel will sit in a prime spot within Kyoto’s Higashiyama district, with the famous Gion district a short walk away. Design elements will reflect the prefecture’s rich history and the Myoho-in temple and Tokyoku-Jina shrine bordering the hotel.

“The development carefully incorporates the historic and cultural essence of the locale. Its design concept, which is reminiscent of an ancient temple, along with the gardens cradled within the site, will be fused with the Six Senses brand values,” says Kazutoshi Senno, representative director and president of Wealth Management, Inc.

For instance, the 81 guest rooms are arranged around a central courtyard, anchored by a biophilic design concept to connect guests to nature.

The Japanese zen culture is also incorporated within its spa, which will offer tea ceremonies and signature treatments focused on inducing calm and well-being.

Guests checking in with the family can tap on a range of child-friendly Grow With Six Senses activities spanning arts, crafts, ecological and wellness experiences.

Amenities include an all-day restaurant, speciality sushi restaurant, brew bar and cocktail lounge bar. Corporate guests and planners have the option of booking meeting rooms with a fireplace, or the Earth Lab dedicated to sustainability.
