Accor has expanded its portfolio of hotels in Japan with the opening of the Mercure Kyoto Station hotel, the first Mercure branded hotel in the Kansai region and the sixth in the country.

Situated just minutes from JR Kyoto Station, the hotel boasts 225 guestrooms ranging in size from 23 to 34 square meters.

Rooms feature design elements that include motifs from the Heian period - a nod to the ancient history for which Kyoto is renowned.

Mercure Kyoto Station is 500 metres from JR Kyoto Station and 47km from Osaka International Airport. Notable buildings such as Kyoto Tower and Shimabara Omolon are located within walking distance from the hotel while the World Heritage sites of Nishi Honganji and Toji are located within close proximity.
