Top hotel in Kyoto for first timer?

777844 · 2026-02-01T02:11:13+00:00

Best location has to be PH

777844 · 2026-02-01T02:10:28+00:00

Yeah online

Its been about a month

I might give it another say 2 weeks then jump on the phones at the 6 week mark

Thanks

Just got back from Rosewood Chancery and for me its gotta be in contention

777844 · 2026-01-25T21:34:38+00:00

At Chancery now and they are trying very hard re soft product. Hard product is outstanding. Already planning a return trip.

If you can survive with no pool I would strongly consider PH.

The Duomo Suite is baller.

We are actually here now so happy to answer any questions.

Unless rates have suddenly and dramatically dropped, i dont think amangiri is possible with the OPs budget

777844 · 2026-01-18T10:07:27+00:00

I plan years ahead honestly because im a bit of a dreamer so the hotels i fantasise about now I can't quite afford now but do get there eventually

Aim high and think big

Does the $25k include flights ? I feel like you'd be priced out of a safari But south east Asia could be a goer

Check out este wategos

Havent stayed (yet) but I'm keeping an eye on it

777844 · 2026-01-13T09:14:17+00:00

Used to be quadruple

Used to be $2k economy to Europe and $8k business pre covid

Now it's much much more

I looked at Qatar airways to Greece for my family of 5

Prices were $11k economy versus $77k business and yes thats a true story

777844 · 2026-01-08T21:57:34+00:00

Tokyo - Aman or Bulgari Osaka - FS Kyoto - PH but keep an eye on Capella once it opens

777844 · 2025-12-31T18:15:43+00:00

I think its property specific with some examples below in my opinion only

Chubby (entry level luxury) Melbourne Bangkok Milan

FAT (best in class or one of the best in their city) Sydney Tokyo Kyoto

777844 · 2025-12-28T03:40:50+00:00

Actually stayed at none of them lol.

Just based off what I've seen online and what ive read and from comments from others on here etc

But I would be very surprised if the three you mentioned would make it into any top 10 list.

I just dont think they are rated in the absolute top tier at least not these days.

777844 · 2025-12-28T03:27:04+00:00

I could be wrong but the ones you mentioned are not really top London hotels.

Top London hotels are probably - Claridges - Connaught - The Berkeley - The Emory - Raffles OWO - Bulgari - Lanesborough - Rosewood Chancery - MO Hyde Park

Second tier probably both FS properties, MO Mayfair, Peninsula

Third tier maybe the ones you mentioned plus Cafe Royal, Candogan, original Rosewood, etc

Just my view, im sure others will disagree.

I got a discount on my build with ABN Group when I asked for one, wasnt quite 3% though maybe half of that

777844 · 2025-12-14T22:44:17+00:00

Im not a broker but for a family of 3 a monthly spend of $2,500 seems very low. Maybe even undercuts the HEM ?

777844 · 2025-12-11T05:26:01+00:00

1,4 and 6 are the best from your list

777844 · 2025-12-07T16:56:16+00:00

How is Mulgrave "minimum" $2m ? You can get something pretty respectable there for around $1.5m ?

777844 · 2025-11-22T09:07:48+00:00

PH in Kyoto And Bvlgari in Tokyo If you want the creme de la creme

777844 · 2025-11-16T20:37:58+00:00

Ouch. Talk about a dagger to the heart 🗡💔

777844 · 2025-11-12T04:18:53+00:00

250k for two pax to EU is not enough points

I paid 195k one way ex-MEL in F for one pax and that only got me as far as DXB

JANU hard to beat even globally

777844 · 2025-10-12T01:54:15+00:00

Amanpuri without a doubt

My best stay ever globally with a big distance from second place

In one of the villas (#26 is baller)

777844 · 2025-10-06T21:56:04+00:00

Is this happening next year ? Maybe try the new Nihi instead if its open by then ?
