From Culinary Journeys at Ayatana to Mindful Cultural Immersion, Dusit Thani Kyoto is Japan’s Ideal Urban Sanctuary

The charm of two ancient capitals intertwine in Kyoto’s historic heart.

THE NEW DUSIT THANI KYOTO bridges the cultures of Thailand and Japan to transport guests into the enduring centre of the magical Japanese city.

The luxury hotel is the second offering in Japan from Thailand’s Dusit Hotels & Resorts. The property offers an inviting urban sanctuary that weaves fascinating history with unique design and unforgettable culinary and wellness traditions drawn from two distinctly intriguing cultures.

Guests discover modern Thai and Japanese gastronomy alongside ancient therapeutic arts and holistic serenity rituals from both cultures to create an elevated experience that offers a panoramic view of Kyoto – all while providing opportunities to create unique memories in the historic city. 

Prime and Peaceful Location

Dusit Thani Kyoto delivers its heartfelt service to Japan’s ancient capital in Kyoto’s lively Hongwanji Monzen-machi district. The hotel is just a 10-minute walk — or 850 metres — from JR Kyoto Station’s central exit, making it perfect for exploring the best of the destination’s ancient and modern offerings. 

The prime location in a peaceful residential area allows guests to explore local neighbourhoods not often seen by visitors while still providing the opportunity to luxuriate in a city-centre oasis with elevated offerings and everything in easy reach.  

Dual-Culture Design

Drawing from the legacies of Kyoto and Ayutthaya, Dusit Thani Kyoto artfully melds Japanese architecture with opulent Thai touches. 

Graceful chedi and pagoda-inspired silhouettes harmonise to create unique cultural storytelling from the moment guests step into the grand lobby. 

Inside, 147 beautifully appointed guest rooms flow into inviting communal spaces — including spacious event venues for up to 240 guests, an indoor pool and a modern fitness centre — with elegant design references. Outside, serene courtyards meet flawless gardens and reflect the tranquillity of both ancient cities. 

Authentic Dining Experiences

Culinary wonders await at Dusit Thani Kyoto, where tantalising options can be found at every turn.

The star of the show is fine dining speciality restaurant Ayatana, founded by chefs Duangporn “Bo” Songvisava and Dylan Jones, the creators of Thailand’s former Michelin-starred Bo.lan. 

Celebrated for their artistry with authentic Thai fare heavy on seasonal and sustainable elements, Ayatana takes guests on a flavourful tour through a sensory dining tribute to Thai and Japanese culinary traditions. 

This dining experience pairs perfectly with the sweet surprises at Kati, a dessert atelier reimagining Thai sweets. Further epicurean adventures await at Kōyō, where an interactive Chef’s Table, pays homage to Japan’s seasons, a refined Tea Salon, fashionable lounge The Gallery, and stylish craft spirit bar Den Kyoto.

Drawing from the rich histories of Japan and Thailand, Dusit Thani Kyoto fuses traditional touches with modern flair to create indulgent stays, delectable fare and captivating cultural moments.
