THE CELESTINE KYŌTO GION, KYŌTO

A BLEND OF MODERN LUXURY & TATAMI TRADITION

Guestrooms are a blend of modern luxury and tatami tradition. Swapping outdoor shoes for wooden-soled slippers on the threshold, you’ll find each of the rooms are spacious, uncluttered and elegantly styled with wooden furniture and neutral colours. Facilities include the Yasaka Endo restaurant, Bar Oumie and a large public bath (onsen) looking out onto the tranquil Japanese garden. Exclusive to hotel guests, the onsen is the perfect place to relax after a day’s sightseeing.

Everything at The Celestine has been tastefully thought of, and Japanese traditions abound. You’ll find charming Kiyomizu-yaki pottery for tea-making, super-soft Imabari towels and traditional yukata robes and purses provided for the onsen. The building itself is wonderfully contemporary with its huge stone-clad lobby, floor-to-ceiling windows and modern furniture.

“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.

“INDIA AT ITS MOST INCREDIBLE”
Unbelievably brilliant from start to finish. 91 gave us complete flexibility while tailoring the trip to our personal preferences. Communication was excellent throughout, and the in-country team in India was super-efficient at every stage. The quality of the experience was exceptional – and the value for money, remarkable. From expert naturalists to thrilling wildlife encounters (tigers, leopards, 140 species of birds), awe-inspiring temples, the Taj Mahal, scenic walks and warm, welcoming people – not to mention the fantastic curry – it was a truly superb holiday. “Ultimate” really is “91”!

“IN SAFE HANDS, EVEN WHEN PLANS CHANGE”
Every detail of our Patagonia tour was expertly arranged – from transfers and flights to the choice of hotels. When our onward flight to the Falklands was delayed by two days, 91 stepped in immediately and secured a hotel for us. It was an enormous relief, especially as we don’t speak Spanish and had no idea what to do next. That level of thoughtful, responsive service stayed with us – it turned a potential travel hiccup into a lasting positive memory.
