Hotel Gran Bach Kyoto Select to Reopen on September 1st After Renovation
Green Hospitality Management will reopen the Hotel Gran Bach Kyoto Select on September 1st after its renovation.
Of the 116 guest rooms, 68 will have king-sized beds, with space under the bed for luggage storage. The front lobby will feature an amenity bar with SEKKISEI MYV women’s skincare products, and the in-bath amenities will include Nature & Co products.
The renovation will cover floors 1 to 3 with the concept of a “Relaxing Kyoto Stay with Pleasant Music and Wellness Breakfast.” The bar & lounge at the back of the 2nd floor lobby will be completely renovated and renamed to “Magdalena” after Bach’s wife. It will feature a self-playing piano and offer three types of wellness water depending on the time of day.
For breakfast, the concept of “selection” is introduced, offering a buffet with three categories of meals: antioxidant, anti-glycation, and low-salt, curated by a registered dietitian and based on the guest’s daily health and mood. A collaboration with “Tonkatsu Shinjuku Saboten” includes the “GB Tonkatsu Burger” in the menu.
A special re-opening plan with breakfast is available. As a perk, guests will receive two coins exchangeable for wine, sake, or beer, with the option to choose a fillet cutlet sandwich with two coins. As a limited offer, guests will receive an original GB “incense set” from Kyoto’s long-standing “Shoyeido”.
