akdrv Posted November 22 Posted November 22 Hello everyone! Osaka is always evolving, with new hotels constantly opening around the city. Based on the success of our Kyoto thread, we thought it would be great to start an ongoing thread where we can share information about the latest hotel openings in Osaka. Whether you’ve heard about a brand-new luxury hotel or a cozy boutique inn that’s just opened its doors, please share the details here! Photos, personal experiences, and any insider tips are highly appreciated. All hotel categories are welcome, including hotels opened in the last year or two; please indicate the price range (luxury, mid-range, or budget). Let’s help each other discover the newest places to stay in this vibrant city! I’ll start with my personal favorite new hotels: Hotel Royal Classic Osaka (Luxury) Designed by Kengo Kuma, the hotel preserves parts of the original Shin-Kabukiza Theater facade and integrates them into its modern structure, blending historical architecture with contemporary aesthetics. Located next to Namba Station in the heart of Osaka. Opened in 2019. Moxy Osaka Shin Umeda (Mid-range): Opened in September 2020, this stylish hotel offers a fun and youthful atmosphere. It’s a great option for travelers looking for something different. The Lively Osaka Honmachi (Mid-range): Opened in August 2020, this hotel features contemporary design and a lively bar scene. It’s situated in the business district, making it convenient for both leisure and business travelers. Looking forward to hearing about your discoveries! Quote
