Ace Hotel Kyoto is a cool and modern spot that celebrates the city’s rich history and creative vibe. It’s housed in a beautifully restored 1920s building that mixes Japanese and Western styles with local art and handmade touches. Entering the friendly lobby and peaceful garden makes it feel like a welcoming place for everyone.
The hotel’s design honours nature, emphasising the use of natural materials and regional resources. Throughout the property, thoughtfully curated greenery and the calming presence of a verdant courtyard garden bring a sense of harmony to the environment. The building is also designed to allow ample natural light to flow into the spaces.
The on-site Stumptown Coffee Roasters Cafe sources and roasts its beans ethically, following sustainable agricultural practices that support responsible production. Kōsa, the hotel’s restaurant, embraces a farm-to-table concept, offering a menu inspired by Kyoto’s seasonal ingredients. Guests are also provided with biodegradable toiletries, part of the hotel’s ongoing efforts to minimise waste.
The hotel also places strong emphasis on an inclusive workplace. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) committees are actively engaged in creating a supportive environment, with regular training programs to ensure all team members, including those from LGBTQ+ communities, are empowered to thrive.
