Opening Q4 2025, Capella Kyoto stands as a masterpiece of cultural preservation through the collaborative genius of Kengo Kuma & Associates and Brewin Design Office. This intimate 89-key property in the historic Miyagawa-chō district exemplifies how bespoke luxury can honour traditional aesthetics. The design draws deeply from the neighbourhood’s cultural heritage surrounding the Kenninji Temple, preserving the essence of traditional Higashiyama culture through careful attention to Zen Buddhism, wabi-sabi aesthetics, and classic architectural elements like tatami and Zen gardens. An inner courtyard – adjacent to the signature Capella Living Room – serves as a central point, creating an organic flow between public and private spaces.
