Marriott Opens Second Tribute Portfolio Hotel in Japan

(20 Jun 2021)
Marriott has opened the second Tribute Portfolio hotel
in Japan.

The 203-room Hiyori Chapter Kyoto is located near Kawaramachi-dori, adjacent to one of Kyoto’s main shopping streets and the
scenic Kamo River.

Guests can easily access the main historical
and cultural destinations in the city including the Kyoto Imperial
Palace, the former palace of the Japanese Emperor, and the
magnificent Kyoto Gyoen National Garden, with its breathtaking
tree-lined gravel pathways, peaceful shrines and lakes.

Osaka
International Airport (ITM) is within a 70-minute drive whilst JR
Kyoto Station is a 20-minute drive from the new hotel,
making it easily accessible from other regional and international
destinations.

“We are delighted to be opening Hiyori Chapter
Kyoto, introducing Tribute Portfolio to one of the most
sought-after destinations around the globe. The opening further
diversifies our exciting collection of hotels in Japan, offering
unique experiences to our discerning guests,” said Jennifer
Connell, Vice President and Global Brand Leader, Tribute
Portfolio. “Tribute Portfolio seeks out and highlights the true
spirit of a destination and creates vibrant social scenes for
travelers to enjoy. The new hotel is set to present captivating
design and truly authentic experiences tailored to the locale in
Kyoto.”

The hotels rooms and suites draw inspiration from
Japanese tea ceremonies and feature key elements
of Japanese tea rooms reimagined with a modern
interpretation so that they are functional and comfortable.

Facilities include an all-day dining restaurant,
24/7 fitness center, and a traditional Japanese public bath which
features a granite bath and an open-air bath surrounded by lush
greenery.

“Kyoto is known for its cultural hotspots that are
known to international travellers, but it also has many stories
about back alleys, restaurants frequented by locals and other
places not included in guidebooks,” said Satoshi Furuya, General
Manager, Hiyori Chapter Kyoto, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel. “We look forward to providing an
unforgettable experience for the modern traveler seeking local
experiences and top-of-the-line customer service at the
characterful Hiyori Chapter Kyoto.”
