MK Guide Recommends
L’Hotel Hiei blends French-inspired elegance with the spiritual serenity of Mount Hiei. Overlooking Lake Biwa and surrounded by cedar forests, the hotel features only a handful of suites, each designed to reflect seasonal transitions with large windows, warm lighting, and curated furnishings. Kaiseki-style dinners use local, seasonal ingredients and are served in a private dining space with expansive views. Guests are invited to explore nearby Enryaku-ji Temple or relax on the terrace with herbal tea and mountain air. The property maintains an adults-only policy, creating a meditative atmosphere ideal for couples and retreat seekers. Complimentary shuttle service connects to Kyoto city and nearby stations.
