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”.
