Kyoto - New Miyako Hotel

The New Miyako Hotel is conveniently located next to Kyoto Station, making it the perfect location for our visits around Kyoto and Nara. This also allows you to make the most of your free time if you want to do more exploring. We stay in the modern south wing which has beautifully furnished rooms and surrounds an unusual square with fountains and a chapel. Weddings are possible here! The New Miyako boasts a number of restaurants, with cuisine ranging from the seasonally-inspired Japanese menu at the Kyohamasaku through the Shisen's Szechwan delicacies to continental cuisine available at Le Plaisir.

Tokyo - The Park Hotel

4 Star, First Class Modern Hotel

Tokyo's Park Hotel is, like many of Tokyo's finest hotels, located on the upper floors of one of the modern skyscrapers that cluster around the edge of the Hamarikyu Gardens at Shiodome Station. Unlike such establishments as the Peninsula and the Conrad, however, the Park Hotel Tokyo offers a compromise between luxury and affordability. Comfortable, smaller rooms don't skimp on the amenities and decorations, and offer excellent views of downtown Tokyo. Even on misty days the distinctive Tokyo Tower is a highlight of the view from the lobby; on clear days and nights overlooking Tokyo from these windows is spectacular. The lobby itself features towering ceilings that reach the height of the building, and offers a comfortable lounge where live jazz is played in the evenings.
