			  Accor has doubled its portfolio of MGallery hotels 
			  in Japan, with the opening of the Kyoto Yura Hotel Nijo Jo Bettei 
			  MGallery, the second in the country. 
			  The luxury boutique hotel was designed by Yukio Hashimoto and is centred around a Japanese garden. 
			  The hotel offers a collection of 
			  25 rooms, from the 40-45 square metre Deluxe Room, to the 53 
			  square metre Rikyu Suite. Select rooms feature balconies with 
			  views towards Nijo Castle and all rooms overlook the Japanese 
			  gardens. 
			  
			   
			  The 
			  hotel’s restaurant and bar, Singular, will specialise in French 
			  cuisine, inspired by Japan's beauty and the rich culinary 
			  traditions of Kyoto. Chef Susumu Okubo, who trained under the 
			  French culinary masters Alain Ducasse and Pierre Gagnaire, will 
			  lead the restaurant. Okubo most recently 
			  served as Chef de Cuisine of the one-star Michelin restaurant, 
			  Pierre, in Osaka. 
			  Patrick Basset, Chief Operating Officer for 
			  Accor, Upper Southeast & Northeast Asia and Maldives, said, “The opening of our second MGallery hotel in Japan 
			  signals our confidence in this brand to offer something truly 
			  distinctive to travellers. We know that our guests are continually 
			  seeking authentic and original experiences, and we predict this to 
			  be an even stronger trend in the years to come. With the opening 
			  of Kyoto Yura Hotel Nijo Jo Bettei MGallery, we look forward to 
			  welcoming guests to come and experience many memorable moments in 
			  Kyoto, a charming city with countless unique stories to tell.” 
			  The hotel 
			  is located in close proximity to Nijo Castle – one of the 
			  seventeen Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto, which has been 
			  designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Nijo Jo Mae Station is just a 
			  short walk away, offering guests convenient accessibility via the Tozai Subway Line. For the convenience of guests who travel by 
			  train, the hotel offers a private transfer service from Kyoto 
			  Station. 
			   The hotel's General Manager is Yuko Sato.
