Unique: Converted from a former elementary school

“My impression is that it's a luxury experience steeped in Kyoto's cultural heart, but with a modern sensibility; the design thoughtfully incorporates the building's history as a school. Its location near Kiyomizu-dera Temple allows for immersive exploration, and the promise of a Japanese breakfast seals the deal, in my opinion, for a sophisticated stay.”
