The Shinmonzen

Kyoto’s new hidden gem is eponymous to ‘Shinmonzen Dori’ – renowned as The Street of the Artists, Fine Arts and Antique shops; a neighbourhood rich in arts, historical heritage and cultural legacy. Joining this artistic community and Japan’s cultural capital is The Shinmonzen; a luxury boutique hotel exclusively located in the beautifully preserved Gion Shirakawa and Shinmonzen-Dori.

The project has been a labour of love for over 10 years and has been designed by one of the world’s most celebrated contemporary architects - Tadao Ando for the modern travellers. The iconic building along the river Shirakawa will become a new landmark among the traditional architecture of Gion. The hotel’s interior design exhibits peaceful elegance and simplicity. Exceptional pieces of art adorn all areas of the hotel.

Nine spacious and individually decorated suites feature private balconies overlooking the Shirakawa River provide a luxury retreat from the sights and sounds of Gion’s buzzing alleys and cobbled streets. Three of the nine suites offer a traditional Japanese Staying experience with tatami themed bedroom and Iwata twin futon beds.

Just like its breathtaking sister property Villa La Coste located in the heart of the bio-dynamic vineyard Château La Coste, in Provence, France, The Shinmonzen is deeply rooted in nature. From organic linen to carefully selected food ingredients from organic local farms and a commitment to a plastic-free environment, The Shinmonzen promotes a conscious and sustainable lifestyle.

The Shinmonzen provides a highly personalized experience with Japanese Omotenashi as the core combined with the refined epicureanism shaped by our sister property Villa La Coste in Provence, creating ever-lasting memories of your trip.
