Ace Hotel Kyoto, the brand’s first location in Japan, opened in 2020 in the historic Karasuma Oike district, housed in the former Kyoto Central Telephone Office. The stunning renovation by architect Kengo Kuma, known for his work on Tokyo’s New National Stadium, blends modern design with the building’s 1920s charm.
This Kyoto location embodies Ace’s commitment to creating community-driven, creative spaces. Unlike typical hotels, Ace features vintage furniture, pop art, and handmade details that give each room a unique, artistic feel. The hotel also integrates Tivoli Audio’s Model One BT Black Ash/Black Silver radio speakers in every room, offering a touch of retro style and exceptional sound.
The hotel’s suite rooms also feature a Martin Guitar, allowing guests to tap into their creativity, a signature touch that sets Ace apart. With its unique design and cultural integration, Ace Hotel Kyoto offers more than just a place to stay—it’s an immersive experience, showcasing the brand’s dedication to creativity, art, and local culture.
