“Muni Kyoto strikes me as a place where luxury whispers, not shouts, especially with its Arashiyama views framed by opening windows and balconies. The draw for me is the blend of Kyoto's natural blessings in their spa treatments and the promise of exceptional dining through exclusive Michelin-starred partnerships. I imagine the location alone, steps from iconic spots, makes it worth the splurge for a night or two.”
