Regent Kyoto
IHG Hotels & Resorts (IHG) and GI Capital Management held a ground-breaking ceremony to mark the construction of Regent Kyoto, scheduled to open in 2028. The 83-room property is set around a central garden originally landscaped over a century ago by famed landscape gardener Kumakichi Kato.
It is located in Okazaki which is known for its collection of renowned villas, and is home to Tsuruya, amongst Kyoto’s top dining destinations. The ‘ryotei’ restaurant has a century long history as accommodation and a dining venue for the nobles and imperial family and state guests visiting the city. The Kyoto Imperial Palace, Heian Shrine and Nanzen-ji Temple are a short walk away.
The guest rooms will feature a modern interpretation of the tradition ‘engawa’ zone, a space by the window designed to connect guest with the surrounding gardens and the natural environment.
Currently, IHG operates 54 hotels across Japan under 10 different brands, with an additional 17 hotels in the pipeline.
