Kyoto, Japan's ancient capital, renowned for its rich cultural heritage, now offers a new and unique experience for travelers and sake enthusiasts. FAUCHON L’Hotel Kyoto, in collaboration with the historic Tsuki no Katsura brewery, has introduced a sake immersion package, blending luxury accommodation with a deep dive into the world of Japan's iconic fermented rice wine. This initiative is a significant step in FAUCHON L’Hotel’s strategy to integrate authentic local experiences with their renowned hospitality services.
The package, which showcases the 350-year legacy of Tsuki no Katsura, one of Kyoto’s oldest sake breweries, is an embodiment of the hotel's philosophy. BreakingTravelNews published a review which can be found on their website.
Central to this experience is the "Prestige Suite With Tsuki no Katsura Concept Room" Package. It's not just about accommodation; it's an immersive cultural encounter. The suite itself is a celebration of Kyoto’s culinary heritage, adorned with unique sake-related ceramics. The package includes:
- A stay in the specially themed Prestige Suite.
- Specialty pastries with a sake twist, including FAUCHON’s signature creations.
- A bottle of premium Tsuki no Katsura sake and a traditional tenugui as keepsakes.
- An educational sake tasting at Le Bar FAUCHON.

Additionally, guests have the option to embark on a guided tour of the Tsuki no Katsura Sake Brewery, offering an exclusive peek into the world of sake brewing.
This cultural immersion is available now through May 31, 2024. This initiative not only enriches the stay of the hotel’s guests but also invites them to delve into the heart of Kyoto’s traditional brewing art.
Opened in March 2021, FAUCHON L’Hotel Kyoto is a fusion of French luxury and Japanese tradition. Its design, a collaborative effort between Japan's Spin Design Studio and Paris' Atelier Paluel-Marmont, uniquely captures the essence of both cultures.
