For the uptick in price because of the Christmas holiday $1000 per night it was a mediocre experience. The tub didn't have enough hot water, I smelled bacon in my room on the 3rd floor from the kitchen, the gym mirror were dirty in the same spots 2 days in a row. High tea wasn't great and i wish i had it at the Ritz, where i came from. The omakase was just ok. I had better outside of the hotel. The hotel seems under staffed and the staff wasn't very trained in high end hospitality. I wouldn't pay $1000 to stay here.

Beautiful hotel with incredible service. Rooms are spotless and well appointed. Every employee is attentive, helpful and incredibly dedicated to making your stay exceptional. Location is quiet with beautiful grounds yet close to many temples and everything the old part of Kyoto has to offer.

The Four Seasons kyoto is an exceptional, brand-new hotel that exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, everything felt pristine and thoughtfully designed. The rooms are gorgeous—spacious, elegant, and incredibly comfortable, with an attention to detail that truly sets this property apart. Cleanliness is impeccable throughout the hotel. Breakfast was outstanding—fresh, beautifully presented, and one of the best hotel breakfasts we’ve had in Japan. The ofuro in the spa is divine—a serene, deeply relaxing experience and the perfect way to unwind after exploring the beautiful garden with beautiful shrine and koi fish. We genuinely loved every second of our stay. Four Seasons kyoto has raised the bar and is now one of our favorite hotels anywhere. We cannot wait to return.
