A short 2 minute walk from Kyoto station The Thousand Hotel echoes the minimalist charm of a tea house whilst being at the forefront of the Sustainable Comfort concept.  From rooftop bees to its food waste reduction initiatives The Thousand is dedicated to providing a luxurious stay but not at the expense of our planet.  Many of their initiatives came from involving their staff in the ideas process.  As a result every employee is committed to their environmental ethos, which is reflected throughout the hotel.

Bedrooms are minimal but sophisticated and comfortable.  A low uniquely Japanese configuration incorporating their Zen ideology creates a sense of calm and relaxation.

Two restaurants offer a choice of traditional Japanese fare or quality Italian dishes – widely popular in Japan.  Tea & Bar completes the dining experiences, where you can indulge in sweet treats alongside traditional teas or even a cocktail or two! For a more extensive (and later!) drinks menu the adjacent bar Essex offers a modern twist on the high-class bar experience with a range of international whiskies and cocktails!

The Thousand Spa completes the hotel’s meditative atmosphere.  Facilities include Stone Spa, Dry Sauna, Hot Bath, Meditation room and a plethora of treatments, as well as a well-equipped gym.
