Hotel Granvia Osaka

Frommer's Review

You can't get any closer to Osaka Station than this hotel, with discounts for holders of Japan Rail Passes making it even more attractive for train travelers. Parents might also rejoice at discounts offered for Universal Studios. But there are prices to pay: a ground-floor lobby that's hard to find in the maze that is Osaka Station, and elevators that are crowded with hungry masses on their way to the hotel's many 19th-floor restaurants. Rooms, on floors 22 to 26, are cramped except those on deluxe floors. Families may want to opt for one of the huge "Corner Family" rooms (though they're a steep ¥58,905/$490/£245), while those in search of R&R might find relaxation in the 24th-floor Freja rooms, designed with unique Scandinavian furnishings and aromatotherapy amenities. The hotel provides direct access to the Daimaru department store in the basement.
