The 1930s brick-and-arch shell of a former elementary school is an unlikely home for a luxury hotel, but Kyoto has always had a talent for patience. Rooms run spacious and curved in eggshell tones, with city views that do the decorating. Public spaces lean into clean minimalism, a useful mood before heading out to the shrines and pagodas within walking distance. The rooftop bar earns its keep at dusk. A Michelin Key and a Forbes Four Star.
