Greetings from the General Manager

It is with heartfelt gratitude that I extend my warmest welcome to all who gather with us, from near and far. This is a unique property where over a millennium of Kyoto's elegant cultural heritage enfolds the 135-year legacy of hospitality that the Imperial Hotel has carefully cultivated. With respect for the time-honored traditions of Gion, my mission is to ensure a stay that is not only exceptional in quality but also leaves a lasting warmth in the hearts of our guests, bringing smiles to their faces each time they recall their stay, stirring a gentle desire to return, whenever they think back — welcoming guests not just for now, but for generations to come.
