[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.

Not only can you enjoy a break from the everyday, but the hotel also offers a range of convenient features, such as self-check-in kiosks and self-service coat check. These streamlined processes make your trip even more comfortable. In addition, a new shop has opened on-site, selling original items such as nightwear and fragrances, as well as craft beer, expanding the ways guests can enjoy their stay—whether it’s sipping a drink in their room or taking home souvenirs to cherish their trip.
The guest rooms have been redesigned with an orange color scheme. The warm tones and stylish interior design blend harmoniously to create a space that is both luxurious and soothing. With everything in place for a comfortable stay, you can relax and unwind after a long day.
They’ve also added “Four Rooms,” which can accommodate up to four people per room. With bunk beds that even adults will find exciting and a living space where you can relax on the sofa, conversations are sure to flow. It’s perfect for a trip where you want to have a lively, fun time with family and friends.
If you’re tired from walking around Kyoto sightseeing or shopping, head to [SPA EL] on the 2nd floor of the building. It features a spacious public bath and sauna, perfect for resetting the fatigue of your trip. In the hinoki cypress sauna, enveloped in a soothing fragrance, you’ll not only warm up to the core but also enjoy a relaxing time that soothes your mind. With a cold plunge pool right next door, it’s also perfect for those who like to alternate between hot and cold baths to rejuvenate.
