Hotel The Mitsui Kyoto
Hotel The Mitsui Kyoto is Marriott’s new Luxury Collection property in Kyoto and is set to open on November 3.

There are two dining outlets – Toki, which combines the traditions and techniques of French and Japanese cuisine to create a new teppan experience and Forni, an allday dining Italian restaurant. There’s a Garden Bar too, set in the beautifully landscaped grounds. Hotel The Mitsui Kyoto is the only luxury hotel in Kyoto city centre. the-luxury-collection.marriott.com
Zentis Osaka
Zentis Osaka, the first property under the new Zentis brand, opened in May in the bustling port city. The five-star hotel, which occupies a 16-storey building, features 212 rooms and suites, with the layout of each drawing inspiration from the modular design of Japanese bento boxes. F&B options include all-day dining venue Upstairz, a lounge with snacks and afternoon tea, as well as a bar serving seasonal cocktails and Japanese whiskies. Zentis says two major airports that serve Osaka – Kansai International Airport and Itami Airport (Osaka International Airport) – are located less than an hour’s drive away. zentishotels.com
