A sense of the place

ROKU KYOTO, LXR Hotels & Resorts — aerial view — ROKU KYOTO from the air at dusk: the long four-storey wings of rooms with dark tiled roofs and rows of lit windows folded around a still reflecting pond with two small tree islands, the timber-framed restaurant pavilion with its deep slate roof at right, the pool terrace with white parasols, empty loungers and lit planters below, all set in the dark forest of Takagamine under a pink and violet sky with the mountains and the city of Kyoto on the horizon; nobody in the frame — © Hilton / LXR (Hilton)

Why it's in the collection

Because a resort lies at the foot of the Takagamine hills in the north of the city, with a thermal pool fed by natural hot springs and rooms that open onto the Tenjin river, half an hour from the crowds of the center – and the house holds five-star standing.
