🏯 The Hotel Seiryu Kyoto Kiyomizu | A "Place of Learning" Reborn as a "Relaxing Inn"
The former Kiyomizu Elementary School has been transformed into a luxury hotel embodying Kyoto's culture and aesthetic.
The arched windows and staircases, retaining a Showa-era modern design, and the Spanish-tiled roof create an exquisite blend of nostalgia and the extraordinary.
✨ Love at First Sight
• Yasaka Pagoda and Kyoto's sunset views from the rooftop bar "K36"
It's like a scene from a movie. Spending time sipping a drink as the sky turns crimson red is exceptional.
• Restaurant Library, inspired by a library
Breakfast surrounded by books is a luxurious moment, fragrant with tranquility and intellect.
• Guest rooms renovated from former classrooms
High ceilings combine a sense of openness and warmth. The suites with Yasaka Pagoda views make "living in Kyoto" a reality.
