Temple-ground calm in downtown Kyoto

Right in central Kyoto, this hotel sits within a Jodo sect temple with more than 500 years of history, bringing a quiet sense of place to a busy neighborhood. The seven-meter, two-story lobby atrium keeps things minimal in black and white, with preserved old-wood columns and a sweeping white calligraphy wall. A second-floor, onsen-style public bath adds an easy end-of-day reset.
