The hotel has four high-end restaurants, including La Locanda serving Italian dishes with select global ingredients.

“In my opinion, while this hotel excels in many aspects, some areas could be improved. The dining, while refined, did not quite reach the heights of other comparable hotels I've experienced and its location, though scenic along the Kamogawa River, places it slightly removed from Kyoto's prime shopping areas, situated in a more standard neighborhood.”
