Miyako Hotels began life in 1890,[2] as a tea house and Japanese-style garden in Kyoto, which was built by a wealthy merchant named Nihei Nishimura. Nishimura then opened the first Miyako Hotel ten years later in 1900.
In July 1998, Kintetsu Hotel Systems was established as a hotel management company.
In March 2000, a merger with the Kintetsu Hotel Systems resulted in Miyako Hotels taking over the management of the 1890-vintage hotel in Kyoto, which was rebranded as "The Westin Miyako Kyoto".
In April 2007, Starwood acquired the operating rights of the hotels in Osaka and Tokyo.
In March 2014, Miyako Hotels opened Osaka Marriot Miyako hotel in partnership with Marriott Hotels & Resorts.
On April 1, 2015, Kintetsu Corporation, the parent company of Miyako Hotels, was restructured into a holding company, splitting its railway, real estate, logistics and retail, and recreation service divisions. Miyako Hotels also changed the legal name to Kintetsu Miyako Hotels Co., Ltd. on the same day.[3]
In August 2018, the company announced its new brands and logos. These brands divided into three categories, Miyako Hotels, Miyako City (Hotels) and Miyako Resorts which will take place on April 1, 2019.[4]
Miyako Hotels is the brand name for the most luxurious hotels by the company.
Miyako City is the brand name for city hotels.
