Hilton brings Motto brand to Japan with 108-room Kyoto hotel opening in 2029
The hotel is going to be a two-minute walk from Shijo Station on the Kyoto Municipal Metro Karasuma Line and Karasuma Stop on the Hankyu Kyoto Line. This will allow guests practical transport accessibility to prominent Kyoto attractions such as Nishiki Market, the historical Gion and Higashiyama areas, and retail offerings in the Shijo Kawaramachi area.
In Kyoto, Hilton’s profile is readied to expand to 7 accommodations across various brands, including an upcoming Curio Collection by Hilton property.
This will be the first Motto by Hilton property in Japan. The hotel will include an all-day dining restaurant and a lobby with an open balcony.
Hilton currently operates 13 Motto hotels, with over 24 hotels under progress. Recent openings featured properties in Brazil and Nashville, United States, whilst the group has also inked contracts for properties in Paris, Shanghai and Sydney.
“Motto by Hilton Kyoto Shijo Karasuma will offer a fresh, nearby rooted hospitality encounter that motivates event, developing a new type of stay for visitors seeking to immerse themselves in Japan’s cultural estate,” said Alex Shockley, Hilton’ senior supervisor, lifestyle and collection labels for Asia Pacific.
