H.I.S. Hotel Holdings rebranded and opened “Henn na Hotel Premier Kyoto Gojo Karasuma” on December 12.
The hotel, formerly Watermark Hotel Kyoto, has been rebranded to launch the first “Henn na Hotel Premier,” the top brand of the Henn na Hotel series. This is part of a multi-brand strategy to more closely capture trends and needs by subdividing the Henn na Hotel brand. “Henn na Hotel Premier” offers even higher quality amenities and advanced facilities compared to regular Henn na Hotels.
The hotel has a total of 122 rooms, with five new “Premier Suites” added. Rooms are equipped with “Ojami Cushions” from Kyoto’s Rakuchu Takaokaya, “Hemp-dyed Noren (door curtains)”, ReFa’s “BEAUTECH DRYER PRO”, as well as a complimentary minibar. The front desk features an “Express Check-in” system that completes check-in in 10 seconds and “Baggage Lockers” for luggage storage without staff assistance. On the first floor, a Japanese restaurant “Gyumeshi Gojo” serving beef rice dishes with a focus on seasonal themes and color aesthetics has opened.
Access is approximately a 2-minute walk from Gojo Station on the Kyoto Municipal Subway Karasuma Line.
