The luxurious Conrad Osaka is housed in one of the city’s newest, shiniest skyscrapers – Festival Tower West – in the Nakanoshima area, an urban island in the heart of the city, home to art museums and concert halls, and steps away from lively neighbourhoods aplenty.
The 164 rooms fuse traditional Japanese aesthetics with an urban edge, luxuriously appointed bathrooms and easy-to-use bedside tablets control all in-room technology, from the master lights and curtains to room temperatures. All rooms have city-wide views through floor-to-ceiling windows. Ask for a west-facing room for a distant aerial glimpse of Osaka Castle.
True to Osaka’s reputation as a gastronomic heaven, there is an array of high-quality restaurants to choose from on the picturesque 40th floor. Atmos Dining is home to a tasty breakfast buffet and all-day dining menu, and 40 Sky Bar & Lounge serves afternoon tea that can smoothly transition into cocktails after dark. Meanwhile lively C:Grill – a crustacean-centred restaurant – is a popular spot among locals. For Japanese cuisine, however, Kura steals the show – it’s home to a series of intimate counters, where chefs prepare a selection of seasonal sushi or delicious teppanyaki grilled dishes against a backdrop of sparkling night views.
Rejuvenate body and spirit during your stay with a visit to the Conrad Spa. Boasting four private treatment rooms, a relaxation room, beauty salon and whirlpool area, choose to indulge in massages and treatments while looking out over the lively city. Those looking to stay active can swim laps in the heated indoor pool, or make use of the onsite gym, with personal trainers available to tailor a workout to your needs.
