Best luxury hotels in Nara

Nara only has a few luxury hotels, but they are definitely worth considering for a truly special stay. Here are my personal recommendations:

Hotel New Wakasa

Hotel New Wakasa is an uncommon Japanese-style hotel that feels like a cross between a Ryokan (traditional Japanese inn) and a hotel. It’s located right next to the Nara-Koen area, making it an attractive choice. Families, note that some rooms can accommodate three people.

Asukasou Hotel

Asukasou is a luxurious Japanese hotel located on the outskirts of Naramachi and Nara-Koen Park. Some rooms feature futons while others have low beds. Families should note that some rooms can accommodate up to four people. The hotel has a Japanese restaurant on site, and if you stay in a room with a tatami mat, you can enjoy meals in your room, just like in a Ryokan. Additionally, there is a Japanese-style bath on the rooftop that can be reserved. Asukasou is a great choice for sightseeing in Nara.
