It will be the first Garner in Kyoto and the fourth in Japan. Group company Pacifica Capital K.K. is handling project management for the renovation.
Seth Sulkin, CEO of Pacifica Hotels G.K said: “This will be our first property in the midscale space, where we see strong demand from both international and Japanese travelers seeking quality accommodation at a reasonable price with the comfort of an international brand and the loyalty benefits it brings. Guests at the hotel can enjoy the best daytime and nighttime attractions of Kyoto within walking distance and the property is extremely convenient for the subway and city buses.”

Guests staying at the hotel will be able to enjoy a blend of historic and modern attractions not far from the hotel which include the Nishiki Market, the Kyoto Imperial Palace, Kyoto International Manga Museum as well as department stores and popular shopping areas.
