Waldorf Astoria Osaka

Osaka, Japan

Waldorf Astoria’s Japanese debut is a magnificent addition to Osaka’s skyline, with acclaimed designer André Fu seamlessly combining Eastern and Western design under one roof. Set across the upper floors of the soaring South Park Two skyscraper in the Umekita District, rooms and suites blend New York’s Art Deco heritage with Japanese minimalism – think gilded accents, intricate woodwork and marble bathrooms. At 49 square metres, entry-level rooms are larger than most in Osaka, and there’s a serious focus on cityscape views throughout the hotel – from the guest rooms to the mosaic-tiled pool and cosy library. The hotel’s cultural convergence extends to its facilities: the spa resembles a Japanese ryokan, while the Peacock Alley lobby lounge nods to the Jazz Age with its triple-height ceiling and bronze mirror panels. The property is also conveniently located for sightseeing adventures, just a short stroll from Shinsaibashi’s boutiques and the grounds of Osaka Castle.
