The Westin Miyako Kyoto upgraded us from a standard Superior King 301 sq ft to their largest Higashiyama 1 bed suite 1,485 sq ft. The view of the trees from the room was stunning. It had living, dining room, 1.5 bath and large bedroom. We were very appreciative. Breakfast -the breakfast in the restaurant was grand, in a large space with everything you could want including ice cream. I liked the rice balls with salmon wrapped in seaweed. The salad bar was also very impressive. There were hot dishes and made to order eggs. Lots of Japanese foods to chose from. Club Lounge - the lounge again was underwhelming compared to the Prince Gallery, but we had enough to eat and enjoyed our time in the lounge. The other guests were very friendly and there were a couple of nights in where we closed the lounge down. Location - the subway station was almost next door and it was handy to get us around Kyoto. Seems like there are limited restaurants and shops near the hotel, but the free shuttle will take you to the Central Train Station. Kyoto is a lot bigger then I thought and the subway, while it is good, it doesn't go directly to some of the sights and you have to take a bus in some cases. Concierge - luckily there was a nice person working who was very detailed oriented and spoke good english and he helped me map out our routes for each day of sightseeing. There are a few other concierge that are not as helpful, mostly because of the language barrier. Pool and spa - we had a free afternoon by the pool and I also bought some products from the spa with my $100. resort credit. (Booked w/Stars agent) The nice upgrade to the huge suite and the fun times we had in the club lounge made our stay very enjoyable. During May, it's the high season, so pricey, but other times it can be had for a bargain. Kyoto is lovely, crowded and a bit rainy during our stay in May.
