Opened in June 2020, the Ace Hotel is a chic and inviting property situated in the very center of town. It’s hard to surpass the Ace for convenience, comfort, and location.
Housed in a sophisticated building that once served as the Kyoto Central Telephone Office, Ace Hotel Kyoto ranks among the city’s most stylish accommodations. Created through a collaboration between renowned Japanese architect Kuma Kengo and Los Angeles–based design studio Commune, the property offers a seamless blend of Japanese and global aesthetics.
Select rooms feature turntables with thoughtfully curated vinyl collections, while all guest spaces showcase a minimalist, refined, and airy aesthetic. Deep soaking tubs provide a perfect retreat after a day exploring temples. While hundreds of restaurants, bars, and cafés lie just steps away, if you’d rather stay in, the hotel hosts an excellent Mexican eatery, a pizzeria, and Japan’s first Stumptown Coffee location.
The property’s standout feature is its location: positioned at the intersection of Karasuma and Oike streets, it puts all of downtown Kyoto within easy walking distance. Plus, it sits directly above Karasuma-Oike Station, where Kyoto’s two subway lines converge.
Rates here are notably more accessible than those at many international luxury-brand hotels in the city, making it an excellent option for travelers seeking a stylish and comfortable stay in Kyoto.
