FAUCHON returns with a second iconic 5-star hotel and member of the Leading Hotel of the World collection, located in the imperial and cultural capital of Japan, Kyoto.
According to Jacques-Olivier Chauvin, President and CEO, "The opening of FAUCHON L'Hotel Kyoto is a significant achievement for FAUCHON on several levels. It marks FAUCHON's 50th anniversary in Japan and brings together all of the brand's expertise in hospitality and gastronomy in one place."
This hotel offers 70 exceptional rooms and perpetuates the tradition of its Parisian sister hotel by offering: Gourmet Bar, Grand Café FAUCHON, Salon de thé FAUCHON, a FAUCHON boutique at street level, the FAUCHON Spa and, for the first time, a FAUCHON Bar.
Guests can enjoy many unique experiences at FAUCHON L'Hotel Kyoto, including:
- CUISINE: FAUCHON chefs have worked to incorporate Japanese flavors and culinary elements into FAUCHON's iconic French dishes and pastries, to give a modern twist to French and Japanese cuisine.
- JAPANESE TEA CEREMONY: The incorporation of traditional Japanese elements with FAUCHON touches, including a pink teapot and macarons, as well as a special tea blend, “One Night In Kyoto” (green tea with fruity notes of cherry, pear and mandarin) created especially for the hotel.
- JAPANESE BEER: FAUCHON has teamed up with Tango Beer of Japan to recreate “La Délicieuse”, a special beer that was served in the 1940s.
- JAPANESE PASTRY: FAUCHON has also teamed up with a partner Japanese bakery, Izutsu, to create a special Yatsuhashi pastry, a traditional Japanese sweet that will only be offered at the hotel and can be enjoyed at tea time.
- FAUCHON SPA RITUAL: using special products developed exclusively for the hotel by KOS PARIS.
- FAUCHON'S MARCARON OF THE DAY: FAUCHON will offer a free macaron of the day, available throughout the hotel for the enjoyment of guests.
- PLAYLIST: A specially selected playlist will be available in the hotel to set the tone for the overall experience.
The new property is a masterful blend of FAUCHON’s signature style with magenta, black and gold, with a nod to its location in Japan. For example, there are black painted bamboo accents on the walls, Sakura petals incorporated into many of the design elements and Washi paper (used for origami) on the wall above the headboards in the guest rooms.
Its exceptional location about 10 minutes from the most interesting districts: Gion (a traditional and lively district), Higashiyama (a charming district backed by the eastern hills of the city and full of typical shops) and Kawaramachi-Shijo, will delight guests.
