1. A sophisticated lobby where art and the essence of Kyoto come together

[Hotel El Ciento Kyoto Hachijō-guchi], offering exceptional convenience just a short walk from Kyoto Station, has undergone a complete renovation. It has been reborn as a hotel where guests can enjoy their stay itself, with food, music, scent, and art all coming together. Under the concept of “RE:TRADITION—A Reinterpretation of Tradition—,” the hotel’s interior design has also been completely revamped. The lobby features a massive mural by [Kuroyama Shachu], known for their spatial design and artistic installations, as well as “The Guest,” a character created by [Lladró]. In this space, where the essence of Kyoto harmonizes with contemporary elements, guests can enjoy a moment of respite from their daily lives.
