Asia-Pacific's first LXR, named for the paper once made here.
ROKU KYOTO, LXR Hotels & Resorts is in Kita Ward in northern Kyoto, about 30 minutes by taxi from Kyoto Station, in a setting surrounded by the three Takagamine hills and the Tenjin River. The 50-square-metre Deluxe Room is designed with Kyoto crafts such as karakami paper, while the 100-square-metre PEAK Suite has a separate bedroom and living room. The hotel has an outdoor thermal pool that uses natural hot-spring water (an alkaline simple spring), and only the Onsen Garden room type has hot-spring water piped to the room. Meals are served at TENJIN, an all-day modern brasserie facing the Tenjin River, from a half-buffet breakfast to dinner courses. Children 12 and under can share a bed free of charge, one child per adult.
