HOSHINOYA KYŌTO, KYŌTO

picturesque retreat

To experience the Hoshinoya Ryokan is to take part in a vision. The idea that classical Japanese hospitality and culture can be infused with contemporary style.

As soon as you walk into the Hoshinoya you’ll realise that the history and the most tranquil aspects of Japanese culture can indeed inspire contemporary design, and blend seamlessly with modern ideas of luxury and convenience.

Make the Hoshinoya Ryokan part of your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Japan and you’ll be carried by private boat along a gently-flowing river to Arashiyama – arriving at a picturesque retreat; one of the most beautiful hideaways in the whole of Kyoto. Once inside you’ll be treated to rooms that reflect traditional design, giving openness and a sense of peace, combined with sympathetic furnishings that are more familiar to Western eyes. You’ll also be able to experience authentic cuisine using seasonal ingredients and international ideas; and an interesting array of activities and excursions.

“TAILORED TO PERFECTION”
Our holiday in Thailand was superb – custom-built exactly to our preferences. 91 were super attentive, listening carefully to what we wanted and designing an itinerary and hotel selection that really delivered. Even while we were away, they responded quickly to a query. A brilliant experience from start to finish.

“EVERY TRIP EXCELLENT – AND MORE TO COME”
I’ve been on several small group holidays with 91 and every one has been outstanding. My most recent trip in February was no exception – expertly organised, responsive to questions, and full of memorable experiences. The itineraries are well thought out, the hotels top-notch, and the group sizes just right. Their tour leaders are knowledgeable, supportive and great company. I haven’t looked elsewhere since discovering Ultimate – and I’m already planning my next.

“A TRIP OF A LIFETIME, PERFECTLY PLANNED”
Dear Claire, our trip was 100% amazing. We fell in love with Chile. I love how we were introduced to all of the different parts of the country. Our family was engaged in all of the fun from beginning to end. The lodges were just perfection. I wouldn’t have changed a thing. I really appreciate all you did to make our trip a trip of a lifetime.
