Best Luxury Hotels in Osaka Prefecture

The Conrad Osaka occupies the highest floors of Nakanoshima Festival Tower West, its lobby soaring 200 metres above the city on the 40th floor. This is sky-high luxury on Osaka’s cultural island, where world-class museums, galleries and historic architecture sit between two rivers. Contemporary design meets Japanese precision and attention to detail throughout, from the dramatic spiral staircase, the 80-year-old bonsai at reception, and the thoughtful check in ritual.

Pay a visit to the InterContinental for some Michelin starred cuisine at the Pierre restaurant or for some time soaking in the waters of its traditional bathhouse. Then stay awhile in one of the 272 bedrooms with a Bose sound system and Nespresso machine, or for an extended period, check into a multiple bedroom residence. The hotel also has an indoor swimming pool, a jet bath and a sauna, with immersive spa treatments and holistic packages, as well as further eateries; Noka Roast and Grill, the 3-60, Adee and the Stressed Patisserie.

RIHGA Royal Hotel Osaka, located in the vibrant district of Nakanoshima, also known as Osaka’s “City of Water,” the hotel has welcomed global dignitaries and royalty since its 1935 inception.

The hotel features over 1,000 rooms and suites, including a showstopping 700-square-metre suite, and 18 dining venues.
