Frommer's Review

Although a bit off the beaten track, this luxury hotel's location on the cherry tree-lined Okawa River is great for jogging and imparts a relaxing, resortlike setting despite the adjoining OAP, a large office building that attracts business travelers but also contains shops and restaurants. Like its Tokyo namesake, its bold interior designs show the same Frank Lloyd Wright inspirations, including an Old Imperial Bar that pays homage to the American architect, and it goes without saying that this Osaka property offers the same fine service as the famed Tokyo Imperial. The high-ceilinged guest rooms offer large windows with remote-control drapes (request a room facing the river), aromatherapy cosmetics, magnifying mirrors, generous well-lit closets, and marble bathrooms.

Facilities: 6 restaurants; bar; 2 lounges; golf driving range (¥5,000/$42); Osaka's largest state-of-the-art health club with 3 lit outdoor tennis courts, 25m (82-ft.) indoor pool, spa, Jacuzzi, and sauna (fee: ¥2,000/$17 morning, ¥5,000/$42 afternoon); children's day-care center; concierge; business center; shopping arcade; salon; barbershop; 24-hr. room service; in-room massage; same-day laundry/dry-cleaning service; nonsmoking rooms; executive-level rooms; medical clinic; free bicycles (the castle is a 10-min. ride away).
