Marriott enhances its Luxury Collection with The Shisui Hotel in Nara. It is strategically located near iconic temples and mere minutes from the Kintetsu-Nara train station, blending history with cutting-edge architecture.
Nestled on the western edge of Nara Park, this exquisite hotel is surrounded by a classical Japanese garden once part of the grounds of Kofuku-ji temple, further adding to its allure. With roots dating back to the 8th century when Nara was the imperial capital, the city is renowned for its UNESCO World Heritage-listed sites, including Kasuga Taisha Shrine, Kofukuji Temple, and Todaiji Temple.
For travelers seeking a captivating experience, The Shisui is ideally just a 10-minute walk from the Kintetsu-Nara train station. From there, direct connections to Kyoto and Osaka can be reached in 35 and 45 minutes, respectively. Those arriving by air can access the hotel via Osaka Itami International Airport, about a 45-minute drive away.
The design of The Shisui, Marriott's fifth Luxury Collection hotel in Japan, conceptualized by renowned Japanese architect Kengo Kuma and Associates, flawlessly blends traditional Japanese architecture with the beauty of the Yoshiki-en temple garden.
Stepping into the reception lobby, restaurant, and lounge housed within a charming low wooden structure dating back to 1922, guests are immediately immersed in Nara's rich heritage and elegance.
Shisui comprises 43 guest rooms and suites, each thoughtfully designed with floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the spaces with natural daylight, offering breathtaking views of the historic gardens and lush greenery. Select accommodations even boast captivating vistas of the nearby Mount Wakakusa, while deluxe rooms and suites offer private in-room hot springs or open-air baths.
The hotel's amenities include two restaurants, a bar, a fitness center, and a spa featuring volcanic hot springs in two private rooms, ensuring a luxurious and rejuvenating stay. Hiroyuki Hatori, the General Manager of Shisui, expresses his anticipation in providing guests with an unforgettable and transformative journey during their visit to Nara.
