The Four Seasons Hotel Osaka provides a fresh perspective on Osaka, making it an excellent starting point for exploring the city’s rich culinary and cultural scene.
Osaka, ranked as the #10 most livable city globally and #1 in Japan by the 2023 Global Liveability Index, is increasingly popular among urban adventurers. Known as the “City of Water” due to its extensive network of rivers and canals, Osaka combines historical charm with a distinctly cosmopolitan flair. Strategically situated, the hotel is near Umeda’s bustling shops and businesses, close to Kitashinchi’s upscale dining and bars, and just a stroll away from Nakanoshima’s thriving art scene. It’s an ideal spot for families to explore nearby attractions like Universal Studios Japan and for nature enthusiasts to enjoy seasonal views of foliage and cherry blossoms. Additionally, the upcoming Expo 2025 is set to draw millions of international visitors.
The Four Seasons Hotel Osaka will debut the city’s inaugural modern ryokan on its 28th floor, featuring 21 rooms and suites that artfully combine traditional Japanese elements with contemporary design, courtesy of SIMPLICITY designers. This floor will also include a dedicated check-in area, enhancing the personalized service synonymous with Four Seasons. The upper floors will host an additional 154 rooms and suites, designed by CURIOSITY of Japan to maximize light and space, most featuring window seats that overlook the cityscape. The hotel’s public areas and guest rooms will display an exclusive art collection curated by Fumio Nanjo, highlighting local talent.
