SUIRAN KYOTO

Authentic Japanese Luxury

In Kyoto’s bamboo-clad Arashiyama district, the Suiran Hotel is an intimate stay languishing on the banks of the Hozugawa River. Once the private summerhouse of 19th-century industrialist Shōzō Kawasaki – he of motorcycle fame – the Meiji-era architecture and surrounding temples make for a thoroughly traditional break in the City of 10,000 Shrines. Manned by yukata-clad staff, Suiran’s finer details have been chosen for authenticity, right down to the spring water in the cedar- and bamboo-encased onsen bath. Across the river is a lush bamboo forest and a handful of Unesco-listed shrines, but you don’t have to leave the hotel for a soul-stirring experience.

Just like any other hotel or resort in tokyo, Suiran provides their customer a Spring-water-filled onsen baths, spa treatment rooms. The Yuzunoha Deluxe Room and higher categories have a private onsen bath too. But what makes it different from other hotel hey can organise an array of unique activities, including sake tasting and chakra cleansing, as well as frequent dinner nights focusing on the delicacies of Japanese cuisine, such as kinshu, where chefs sculpt edible art.

There’s no pool, but those in higher category rooms can soak and soothe in a personal onsen bath filled with fresh spring water and sheltered by bamboo and volcanic-rock walls. If you don’t have your own, two baths can be booked for private sessions. Dubbed Raku and An, they're kept cool by cypress trees overhead and are built using traditional cedar wood. Which you can enjoy in cold weather and enjoy the exotic view of sakura.

The room is a Traditionally Japanese but with cloud-soft, western-style beds – with full mattresses rather than tatami mats – the Gyokuto Garden Terrace rooms have tranquil little gardens and private onsen baths, as well as gold-accented artwork splashed across the walls. Within the cavernous, clean-lined bathroom of the Shirosumire Premier King, staff will set up a massage table. After you’ve been pummelled into peacefulness, make use of the suite’s open-air bath, which is nestled into a rock-lined courtyard. The style in rooms is ryokan-lite: mat flooring, black-lacquer furniture and cedar wood-clad walls, but enhanced with contemporary comforts.
