Kita, covering Umeda, Dojima and Nakanoshima, is the transport hub and holds most of the ranked hotels, with the museums and the river walks close by; Minami, along Midosuji through Shinsaibashi to Namba and Dotonbori, is louder and better for eating late; both put Kyoto and Nara within about half an hour by train.
Cherry blossom in late March and early April and the autumn colour of November are the two peaks, with Golden Week, Obon and New Year filling the city as well; the rainy weeks of June and the cold of January and February are the quietest, and major convention weeks can tighten supply at any time.

Each hotel is scored on a fixed formula built only from award facts, then shown on a scale of 5.00 to 10.00. MICHELIN Keys carry the most weight, a Forbes Travel Guide Five Star rating adds a flat six points, placements in The World's 50 Best Hotels for 2023, 2024 and 2025 are weighted equally, and a La Liste rating moves the total slightly. Nothing a hotel supplies about itself enters the score, and the full formula is published on the methodology page so any figure in the table can be reproduced from the awards beside it.
