Overview
Cross Hotel Kyoto, set in Kawaramachi Sanjo, blends tradition and modernity with warm wooden decor showcasing Kyoto-style architecture. You'll be well connected, as the hotel is a 6-minute walk from Hankyu Kawaramachi Station and even closer to other public transport options, including the Sanjo Station across the Kamo River. Walk to the Pontocho area in less than 10 minutes or keep going to reach the Kyoto Gion YASAKA SHRINE via the historic geisha district of Hanamikoji Street (about 20 minutes away).
From Standard Rooms to suites, you'll find warm hues, cozy lighting, and welcoming environments, with each unit offering a flat-screen TV, kettle, and a deep-soaking tub. Some rooms even provide traditional Japanese flooring, separate sleeping areas, sofas, and/or mesmerizing Higashiyama mountain views across a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows. Families and groups can opt for rooms that accommodate up to four guests.
Cross Hotel Kyoto offers a daily American-style breakfast, and you can enjoy other meals at the property's KIHARU Brasserie, located on the first floor. Here, you'll find various dishes, from grilled meats and classic Japanese menus to homemade sweets. And for something simpler, head to the lobby lounge, a perfect space to unwind with a coffee.
