Six Senses Kyoto is a hotel in the Higashiyama district, an easy walk from Myoho-in Temple, the Kyoto National Museum and Sanjusangendo, with design touches inspired by the Tale of Genji. Its 81 rooms and suites look onto an inner courtyard, the city, or the garden of Toyokuni Shrine opposite. Facilities include Six Senses Spa, Japanese-style hot baths, a sauna and steam room, an indoor swimming pool and a 24-hour fitness centre. Dining is at Sekki, an all-day restaurant built around Japan's micro-seasons, plus Café Sekki, the Nine Tails cocktail bar and counter-style sushi at Sushi Oga Higashiyama. Most rooms and suites take three or four guests, the two- and three-bedroom suites take up to six, and babysitting is offered on request.
