High-end French food purveyor Fauchon is expanding its hospitality footprint with the opening of the Fauchon L'Hotel Kyoto on March 16.
The property marks the second hotel outpost for the Fauchon brand, following the opening of Fauchon L'Hotel Paris in 2018.
Located within Kyoto's Shimogyo-ku district, the 70-room Fauchon L'Hotel Kyoto is making its debut as a member of the Leading Hotels of the World network.
Like the original Paris location, the Fauchon L'Hotel Kyoto showcases the flag's signature Gourmet Bar minibar in each room and suite. Housed in a wardrobe-size pink cabinet, Fauchon's Gourmet Bar features a selection of Fauchon products, all of which are complimentary.
The property will house several food, beverage and retail concepts, including a Le Grand Cafe Fauchon restaurant, Fauchon Salon de The afternoon tea venue and Fauchon Bar, as well as a Fauchon Patisserie and Boutique at street level.
The hotel has also collaborated with several local culinary partners, linking with a Japanese bakery to offer a traditional Yatsuhashi pastry at teatime, as well as partnering with Tango Beer of Japan to recreate a 1940s-style beer.
Rates at the Fauchon L'Hotel Kyoto start at around $477 per night for a room and $835 per night for a suite.
According to Fauchon Hospitality CEO Jacques-Olivier Chauvin, the company has additional Fauchon hotel projects currently under development in the U.S., China, Tokyo and the Middle East.
