In Kyoto, a city known for its deep history, Anteroom Kyoto offers a warm and unique non-urban atmosphere that can't be experienced at hotels in the city center. This hotel, which was opened after converting a building originally used as a student dormitory in 2011, embodies the concept of "Kyoto's Arts & Culture always in flux." After a renovation in 2016, the hotel incorporates elements of traditional Japanese culture into its Arts & Culture theme and presents the current state of Kyoto. The hotel features a gallery, breakfast restaurant, and bar. Through collaborations with domestic and international artists, the hotel provides a diverse range of art and events that can be experienced throughout the facility, showcasing Kyoto's culture, diversity, and new values.

The hotel Ante Room Kyoto has over 90 art exhibitions. The works of artists with connections to Kyoto are selected to match each room. You can also see details and prices of the artwork and the artist profile, so all works are available for purchase. Another reason why you can only experience the stay here is because the interior, which blends Japanese tradition with the hotel's concept of art and culture, is unique. The compact and functional interior, originally used as a dormitory, has a simple yet stylish space with details such as a desk with a vintage feel, pendent lights, and fully exposed plumbing. There are also concept rooms produced and coordinated by artists from both inside and outside the country, directing and expressing each individual's worldview not only through their works but also through lighting arrangements.

At the breakfast restaurant "ANTEROOM MEALS", you can enjoy a breakfast using fresh ingredients such as specialty terrines, homemade sandwiches, and fresh granolas, in an open space surrounded by art. At "ANTEROOM BAR," more than 150 types of whiskey and simple snacks are available, allowing you to taste the flavor of your travels and spend a special time in Kyoto. The entire hotel "ANTE ROOM KYOTO" is an art space, and has a theme of "365 days art fair," where over 80 teams of artists from around the world and 200 works of art related to Kyoto are on display. The "GALLERY 9.5" connected from the entrance is full of stimuli where various exhibitions and events allow people from all over the world and local people to share the same time and create new inspiration. In addition, art works are also exhibited in the corridors connecting each room and lounge, providing the pleasure of walking through the museum-like atmosphere. We hope you will experience a new world where traditional culture and contemporary art are blended at the ANTE ROOM KYOTO, which represents the present of Kyoto.
