Frommer's Review

In a business park that's home to corporate headquarters for KDD, NEC, Sumitomo, and other big companies, this Leading Hotel of the World member attracts both business and tourist clientele. Its proximity to Osaka Castle Park, popular with joggers, families, and young Japanese, and its varied public facilities, ranging from a multitude of restaurants to a fitness club (free to hotel guests in the morning), give the property something of an "urban resort" atmosphere. Everything about the hotel's public spaces is visually pleasing, from the airy, four-story atrium lobby with a sunken lounge in its center to the indoor pool with its glass-vaulted ceiling. Rooms, however, are rather standard, with rates based on size, height, and view. The best rooms provide the city's most dramatic views of Osaka Castle, which is lit at night, but at fairly hefty prices. Service throughout the hotel is first class.

Facilities: 12 restaurants; 2 bars; lounge; fitness club with indoor and outdoor pools and sauna (fee: ¥2,500/$21; fitness room and indoor pool free 7-10am); 2 outdoor tennis courts; children's day-care center (¥5,000/$42 for 2 hr.); concierge; tour desk; business center; shopping arcade; salon; room service (6am-1am); in-room massage; same-day laundry/dry-cleaning service; nonsmoking rooms.

Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
