The newest hotel in lovely Kyoto is the Screen Hotel, a member of Design Hotels. Opening on 13 December, the hotel has just 13 guest rooms and each one was designed by a different artist or designer. The looks run the gamut from dreamy to cutting edge. Screen Hotel also has a spa, chapel, open-air sky lounge and a shop, which stocks  traditional Kyoto goods made by local craft artists as well as the Screen's “soundtrack,” a hotel-inspired compilation album. The ground-floor restaurant serves French-Japanese fusion food, and is a mix of  new French cooking and traditional Kyoto cuisines, made with fresh, organic ingredients from local growers. Once a week, guests can relax at “Candle Night” in the lounge, part of Screen's energy-saving eco-luxe concept of respecting the environment without forsaking comfort.
