HOTEL THE MITSUI KYOTO, a Luxury Collection Hotel & Spa

Who runs this hotel?

Three different companies can sit behind one hotel. How this works

OperatorThe company responsible for the hotel's day-to-day operations — hiring and training staff, service, food and beverage, housekeeping and revenue management. It can be different from both the owner and the brand.
Mitsui Fudosan Resort Management

Not the brand company — The Luxury Collection supplies the name; Mitsui Fudosan Resort Management runs the hotel.

BrandThe name on the door. The brand company sets standards and supplies the reservation system and loyalty programme — but it does not always run the hotel itself.
