Fodor's Expert Review Suiran, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Kyoto

The original wooden structure of an industrialist's traditional estate was renovated into the river-view dining room of this woodsy hotel, one of Kyoto's most upscale properties. The cuisine is nouvelle Japanese served French-style. As with the other facilities here, the restaurant's feel is old countryside resort but with modern hotel conveniences. The Suiran is along the Hozu River, one of Kyoto's main waterways.
