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. To help offset its location, the hotel provides free shuttle service to Osaka Station and bicycles to explore the area (it's a 10-min. ride to Osaka Castle). 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. The hotel's fitness center is the largest and best equipped in the city, while restaurants take advantage of the river and city views. It goes without saying that this Osaka property offers the same faultless service as the famed Tokyo Imperial. The high-ceilinged guest rooms offer large windows with remote-control drapes and great views (request rooms facing the river), good working desks, down pillows and comforters, fluffy bathrobes, aromatherapy cosmetics, and marble bathrooms with magnifying mirrors and vanity stools at sinks.
Facilities: 6 restaurants; bar; 2 lounges; golf driving range (¥5,250/$44/£22); Osaka's largest state-of-the-art health club w/3 lit outdoor tennis courts, 25m (82-ft.) indoor pool, spa, Jacuzzi, and sauna (fee: ¥2,100/$18/£8.75 morning, ¥5,250/$44/£22 afternoon); free bicycles; 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
