SUGGESTED ACCOMMODATION

THE RITZ-CARLTON, KYŌTO

Nestled along the tranquil banks of the Kamogawa River lies a haven of luxury and sophistication – The Ritz-Carlton in Kyōto.
THE RITZ-CARLTON, KYŌTO

PERFECTLY PLACED TO EXPLORE

The Ritz-Carlton in Kyōto is a beautiful five-star luxury hotel on the banks of the picturesque Kamogawa River.

Stand on your balcony, overlooking the serene Kamogawa River and you’ll be pleased you made the Ritz-Carlton part of your luxury, tailor-made tour of Japan. Especially as you’ll be perfectly placed to explore Japan’s old city and one its most historic places. Kyōto has literally hundreds of Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines, not to mention palaces and tranquil ornamental gardens.

But the hotel has also brought the outside traditional atmosphere and tranquillity inside. Some of its suites, for example, have gardens based on tsukimidai or moon-viewing decks. The rooms typically have old fashioned engawa verandas and the décor reflects the timeless Japanese ideas about space and light. In fact, they’re amongst the largest in Kyōto. And they have restful views of the Kamogawa River and the Higashiyama Mountains.

“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.

“FAULTLESS AND FUN”
We’ve just returned from a Danube cruise with Douglas Skeggs and Joanna Worsley, with a few days in Vienna beforehand – all brilliantly overseen by Emily. From meet and greet at the airport to every detail on board the Amadeus Cara, the organisation was seamless. We’re already looking forward to our next Escorted Tour with 91.
