8.8(138)10/10 Mental rest
A different kind of heaven, since we came from the Four Seasons Tokyo at Otemachi. It was the same wonderful experience, but more peaceful and contemplative. The building has only four floors and stretches through a beautiful garden. It offers more intimacy, tranquility, and calm—perfect for a peaceful stay, enjoying massages, reflections, mental rest, and everything that Japanese culture is so well known for.

We stayed in FS Kyoto to celebrate my grandfather’s 90 years old birthday. The hotel provided excellent service and the attention to detail is incredible. I love everything about our stay and I am sure that I will come back in the future

10/10 Four Seasons: A brand you can rely on
It’s a Four Seasons property so the service was top tier and the property itself was very luxurious. It had almost a boutique feel as well. The beautiful garden and pond are the showstoppers though.

9/10 An exceptional hotel.
The breakfast was exceptional. The fruit was perhaps the best we ever had. It's hard to imagine having such amazing fruit again.

10/10 Best stay ever
Never been to Japan before despite extensive travel. We came to see a music concert in Osaka and didn’t expect to fall in love with this tranquil oasis in nearby Kyoto. During our 4 day stay, the location was excellent. From the check in to departure, each staff were the most welcoming, helpful and gracious. They anticipated our every need. They were always thoughtful. The hotel has the most consistent impeccable and warm staff we’ve ever experienced.
The reception and breakfast staff were consistently working hard to ensure every detail of our trip was perfect. You could tell they love their work and are enthusiastic to help share the treasure of the hotel.
Food was fantastic, the breakfast items fresh, creative and delicious. We loved our room. Super clean and many wonderful touches, small, thoughtful to make us and our son feel welcome. Little gifts with thoughtful intention were daily. It’s like they read our minds!
The Four Season Kyoto created a fantastic day tour for us and it was a stress free and perfect. Restaurant recommendations for nearby sushi were superb.
We would definitely rank this our new favorite place to stay!

10/10 Over all Kyoto is amaysing and stating at the Four Season made this experience even better.
We had a great experience staying at The Four Seasons Kyoto. Of course, booking a Four Season hotel, you already expect the highest level of service and installation qualities, but what we experienced was much beyond than that. The hotel had a problem with the pool, and they did everything on their power to minimize the inconvenience, something that we do not see quite often. More than that, all the staff provide had a great service booking the restaurants and giving all the detailed directions for day's trip (Nara, Hiroshima for ex). Deserve to be mentioned, Mr. Water and his team for the great work.
The facilities are also great, restaurants, sauna, SPA, pool.
Over all Kyoto is amaysing and stating at the Four Season made this experience even better.

10/10 Kyoto Four Seasons is simply wonderful
The Four Seasons Kyoto delivered one of the warmest experiences I have had traveling for business. The staff is extremely professional and very efficient. It was apparent to me they genuinely care about their guests. The food was outstanding. The property is exceptionally well-designed, current, and meticulously maintained. The crowning glory of this property is the intrinsic 800-year-old Japanese garden. It was immaculate and timeless. The property also features some very unusual bespoke creations like the Hermes rickshaw in the lobby. The Four Seasons team delivers a truly exceptional experience in Kyoto.

10/10 Happy New Year at the 4S
Amazing service and experience. From the front desk and reception service by Eugene to Sean and Yuri in the restaurants, and so many more folks along the way. Many folks remember our dietary restrictions and preferences. Overall such a great and memorable experience

10/10 One of the best
The hotel itself is built around the stunning Shakusui-en, an 800-year-old heritage pond garden. This breathtaking garden is a masterpiece of natural beauty, adorned with vibrant trees and diverse flowers that change with the seasons. Guests can also explore the historic Tea House, which is a focal point of the garden and a must-visit for tourists staying at the hotel. Feeding the fish in the serene pond is a delightful experience, making the garden an enchanting escape from the everyday.
The architecture of the hotel pays homage to the traditional Kyoto-style homes, blending historical charm with modern luxury. The property boasts excellent facilities, including a well-equipped fitness center, a large restaurant helmed by an award-winning international chef, and a self-heated swimming pool.
Breakfast at the hotel is a standout feature, offering a diverse and international buffet. For Muslim travelers, halal options are available upon request. Simply inform the staff, and the chef will ensure that all sauces and meats are prepared according to halal standards—a thoughtful touch that makes the experience even more accommodating.

The hotel’s interior was stunning, complemented by a beautiful garden setting. The service level was exceptional, and the staff were highly professional, assisting with packing my bags and even handling shipment arrangements. The reception staff were also very friendly, making my stay even more enjoyable.

It was not included with my stay. Claiming high season.

Excellent hotel in a good location. Breakfasts and dinner were very good. Our room was clean and very well laid out. The staff are exceptional and very helpful. Particular praise for Satochi on the concierge desk, who went out of his way to advise on restaurants and to check the next day that we had had a good experience.
