Hotel Screen

Kyoto

A member of the Design Hotels group, the 13 rooms at Screen have been individually conceptualised by Japanese and international designers and each in a unique style. All rooms are spacious and fascinating and the decor throughout the hotel echoes the contemporary style of the guest rooms.

Rooms include REN cosmetics, flat screen TVs, espresso machines, I-pod docks, Bose DVD players and jacuzzi bath tubs. The lobby houses a small boutique store, selling desginer items and local goods from Teramachi street, on which the hotel is located.

Tea and sweets from generation - old Teramachi tea merchants are served in a traditional "macha" tea ceremony in the lobby by the hotel's gracious kimono clad manager Mika-san.

There is a roof terrace for relaxing or evening cocktails and a stylish French fusion restaurant.

As part of the hotel's energy-saving eco-luxe concept a "Candle Night" is hosted weekly in the lounge and much of the furniture and decoration has been made using recyled or local materials.
