Roku Kyoto Lxr Hotels & Resorts

One of the Best Hotel Experiences We’ve Had We had an exceptional stay—luxurious yet surprisingly affordable thanks to Hilton points and diamond status for the perks. From the moment we checked in, the service stood out: we were welcomed in the executive lounge with tea, chocolates, and warm towels to freshen up. The ambience was peaceful and authentically Japanese, with a quiet location away from the city that added to the serene atmosphere. Our room featured a private onsen and a tranquil zen garden. The water was soft, the air was crisp and clean, and the bed had just the right firmness—we woke up feeling completely refreshed. A bonus was complimentary access to a nearby Japanese garden for hotel guests (just show your room key). The entire experience felt thoughtful and rejuvenating. We’re already looking forward to coming back. The only area that didn’t quite meet expectations was the breakfast buffet—it was decent, but not on par with some of the other hotels we’ve stayed at in Japan.

Services here are exceptional. Staff are overwhelmingly friendly. Beyond 5 stars. And way better than many other 5 stars hotel I stayed before. Hotel hallways smell so wonderful. The hot springs pool is so clean. There are swimming suits renting services if you forgot to pack one. Breakfast is served with single dish and high end. I will stay here five days next time.

My husband and I stayed here for a night while on our honeymoon and the only negative thing I can say is that I wish we could have stayed longer. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with the greatest customer service I have ever seen. Each staff member was so kind and helpful. The hotel itself is stunning and full of architectural details that make it stand out from other hotels and resorts. The location of the Roku Kyoto is tucked away along the hillside, allowing for a relaxing vibe and prime photo taking. Our room was pristine and extremely comfortable. Please try on the robes at least once! You won’t regret it. We had some cocktails at the resort bar and each drink was so delicious and perfectly balanced. After cocktails, we had dinner at the on-site restaurant. Our dinner was top tier! Not only was the food perfect and beautifully prepared/plated, the service was just as impeccable as the food. I truly cannot say enough great things about this resort. Everything was executed perfectly and with such care. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
