ROKU KYOTO, LXR Hotels & Resorts by Hilton

We spent 3 weeks traveling around Japan and chose this hotel in Kyoto as a break for relaxing half way though. We were upgraded as Hilton Diamond Members to a Panoramic King Suite and the view looked so amazing it was like a photo backdrop and unreal. This hotel is pure serenity in nature. So many things about Japan are about balance and when you experience the hustle and bustle of Tokyo or Osaka you need balance with nature and grounding. This is the place! It is so filled with nature, reflecting pools, natural materials like stone and wood and just true peace. After check in, we were led to our room by Ohata and Kikuchi. These two women were so friendly and fabulous. In Japan, many of the bell staff are women, and they are so tiny but mighty. We had many large cases and they took care of the with ease. They showed us around the hotel and our room as well with smiles. We thank them so much for even offering to take photos of us. They are a pure example of excellence in service. Our favorite part of this hotel was the thermal pool outside surrounded by mountains and nature. It is about 99 degrees and so lovely year round. We spent a lot of time out there just truly relaxing, walking in the soft grass and grounding. The spa and gym area is also really nice including the warm sauna. The food for dinner and breakfast was also delicious. There are some other restaurants nearby too within walking distance if you don't want to eat right on the grounds. The hotel's location is in west Kyoto near the Golden temple and closer to the bamboo forest if you want to see those attractions but an easy 20 minute uber ride to Gion district. We chose to stay here to relax and then move to the Hilton Kyoto for the rest of our stay to be near the main sights of the town. Once we left, we really missed it there. They even gave us a kind matcha gift upon departure. We will be back for sure!

The most beautifuk hotel ever! Truly a Japanese dream. 100000% recommend!!

We had a fantastic stay at the Roku Kyoto. We opted to split our time in Kyoto here and at another hotel located in the city. We selected the Roku for a quieter and relaxing location away from the city center, and that's exactly what it was. The design of the rooms and property is so well done, with every detail thought through to make them luxurious and functional. The team at this hotel are really what make it such a great place. From the moment you arrive, they are there for anything that you need. Everyone is helpful, friendly, and consistently provides great service with a smile. The front desk and bell team, restaurant Tenjin team, concierge team, housekeeping team, and spa team were all excellent. A special callout to Mr. Tanaka, Chika, and Ikumi with the concierge team. They were fantastic! We really appreciated their advice and guidance on Kyoto restaurants and sightseeing. They were always prompt at helping us make reservations as well. Would recommend walking around the whole Shozan resort property while you are there, using the thermal pool, and making a spa appointment. All are great! Thank you to the whole team! We hope to return someday soon.

Ein sehr schönes Hotel. Der Service war hervorragend!

The springs the peace the yoga teacher was a delight.

Roku Kyoto is not just a hotel — it's a work of art suspended between nature and refined architecture. Tucked away at the foot of the mountains, the entire property is enveloped in serene beauty: flowing water, sculpted gardens, and a seamless blend of minimalist design and the surrounding forest. It feels like the outside world disappears the moment you step in. The room was simply outstanding. Every element — from the textures of the materials to the calming color palette and flawless craftsmanship — spoke of discreet luxury. The bedding, the lighting, the layout, even the scent of the room… everything was impeccably curated to create a peaceful, deeply restorative atmosphere. It stands shoulder to shoulder with the most iconic “high-end” hospitality brands, and in some ways, even surpasses them. The warm outdoor pool, surrounded by nature and mist, was like stepping into a dream. A tranquil, almost meditative experience — and the staff attending the area were exceptionally kind and thoughtful, always present but never intrusive. Roku Kyoto is a perfect harmony of elegance, silence, and natural beauty. We left with the rare feeling of having experienced something truly special — a timeless retreat that we’ll always carry with us.

Too old. Needs to be refurbished. Our room smelts really badly. Carpet looks decades old and very dirty.

Highly recommended. The staff was attentive to every small detail and was super helpful with suggestions for my trip and reservations for amazing dining in the area. I am usually very picky about hotels and do not have a single complaint. Breakfast was also top quality and the spa is amazing. 10 out of 10

This is a beautiful and modern hotel. The best part is the huge hot springs pool that you can swim. Yes it has comfortable temperature during winter! The staff were very friendly and helpful. The Chef's Table experience was very nice. You can also visit a private Japanese garden next to the hotel. It is a bit on the expensive side. I surely recommend this hotel.
