The bones of a former Gion theatre are still visible in the Imperial Hotel Kyoto, a boutique hotel where 55 rooms blend wood-paneled walls and natural local materials with quietly modern furniture. Two restaurants cover Japanese and French ground, a low-lit cocktail bar handles evenings, and a rooftop bar keeps its city views for guests only. A full subterranean spa with thermal baths sits beneath it all, which feels appropriately theatrical.
