I give 5 stars to all ratings parameters. It can be a SIX star hotel. One of the best Ritz Carlton in the world. Luxury modern amenities with preserved japanese culture , that permeates into hotel service, hotel decor and ambience. It transports you to an luxury escape from the daily routine! It wakes up all 5 senses! The hotel MIZUKA restaurant transcends the japanese food to a new level and experience, worthy of Michelin star recognition!

Great hotel for relaxing ( great spa a s every Banyan resort) and well located if you want to be near Gion and Kiyomizu area, just be aware that walking to the hotel requieres to walk through a very steep road
Otherwise great selection for a luxury stay in Kyoto

I have stayed at some of the best hotels in the world, and I must say I was happily blown away by this Hyatt in Kyoto. Although it has the corporate name, it feels like it's own independent boutique hotel, definitely the most unique Hyatt. The staff are wonderful - friendly, eager to help book reservations, helpful and warm. The location is walking distance to nearby shrines and about 15 minutes from the maze streets of Gion. The rooms are quiet, clean and well designed, with a wonderful shower...
