Change is inherent in cities; these urban centres are designed to evolve with the passage of time, adapting to the new needs of its inhabitants and travellers. And in Kyoto, Japan’s much-visited ancient capital, that sense of transmutation is steadily speeding up.

A stream of new and upcoming hotel openings is making this perennial destination even more appealing to local and international visitors, while catering to various travelling styles, interests and design tastes. From an unexpected find located amid modern houses and machiyas (traditional wooden townhouses) in the suburbs and a pilgrimage venue for videogame enthusiasts to a luxury property located enviably close to a Unesco world heritage site, we pick out some unforgettable venues to shortlist for your next sojourn to Kyoto.
