Overview

Motto by Hilton Kyoto Shijo Karasuma is planned for Kyoto Shijo-Karasuma, bringing Hilton's compact lifestyle brand to Japan for the first time. Heiwa Real Estate is developing the hotel, with Hilton expected to begin operating it during Japan's 2029 fiscal year.

Rooms

The ten-story hotel is planned to have 108 guest rooms. Detailed room categories and layouts haven't yet been announced.

Dining

Plans include an all-day dining restaurant and a lounge with an open terrace. Further operating details haven't yet been published.

Location and transport

The site is about two minutes on foot from Shijo Station on the Kyoto Municipal Subway Karasuma Line and Karasuma Station on the Hankyu Kyoto Line. Nishiki Market and Shijo Kawaramachi are accessible from this central Kyoto location, while Gion and Higashiyama are farther east.

Why stay here

Two nearby rail lines should support trips that combine central Kyoto sightseeing, shopping, and business appointments. The Shijo-Karasuma location is the project's clearest draw.

Good to know

Opening is targeted for Japan's 2029 fiscal year. The design, facilities, and schedule remain provisional and may change before construction is complete.
