The nickname originated during the Edo period due to the city’s history as a major center for the rice trade and other commerce and has lasted as Osaka's vibrant food scene continues to attract visitors from all over Japan and the world.
“We are delighted to celebrate the opening of THE OSAKA STATION HOTEL, the fifth hotel to join the expanding portfolio of these unique Autograph Collection hotels in Japan,” said Karl Hudson, Area Vice President Japan and Guam, Marriott International.
“Autograph Collection Hotels advocate for their destinations across 50 countries and territories around the world, each of which offer immersive moments that leave lasting impressions for its guests. True to its brand philosophy of Exactly Like Nothing Else, through carefully crafted experiences and a distinct design, THE OSAKA STATION HOTEL bridges the different layers of the city, bringing the past and present together, providing a glimpse of what was, and what can be on this new journey through time.”
The 418-room hotel is located in JP Tower Osaka, with each room arranged in an L-shape along the perimeter of the building, allowing guests to enjoy different views from the east, west, north and south.
Specialty Suites on each floor take guests "above the clouds," offering spectacular views from approximately 170 meters above the ground. In addition to check-in and check-out assistance, guests staying in Specialty and Suites can enjoy breakfast, snacks, afternoon tea, cocktails and nightcaps served in the Specialty Salon on the 38th floor.
The interior design is inspired by the philosophy of Sen no Rikyu, a tea master born in Sakai, Osaka and known for his “spirit of seeing things clearly.”
The hotel authentically reflects the refined culture of Osaka with its impeccable hospitality and inspiring experiences that invite guests into a world of luxurious relaxation.
By prioritizing guest interactions and forming personal connections, the hotel aims to provide guests with the very best as they explore the property and the many attractions available throughout the city.
The hotel offers a seasonal Afternoon Tea at the lobby bar with parfaits, sweets, and savories made from carefully selected fruits, accompanied by DAMMANN FRÈRES tea.
THE MOMENT GRILL & DINING features a "Farm to Table & Charcoal Grill" buffet with over 80 dishes from Japan and beyond. TEPPANYAKI MIZUKI, a Japanese restaurant with a 12-meter counter and city views, celebrates Osaka’s rich culinary culture with teppanyaki dishes.
The hotel’s fitness center, GYM, is located on the 30th floor where guests can enjoy a workout while taking in fabulous views of Osaka.
THE OSAKA STATION HOTEL, Autograph Collection is an ideal destination for both leisure and business travelers visiting Osaka, offering approximately 1,250 sqm of meeting, wedding, and event spaces across five stylish function rooms, including a 742 sqm THE BALLROOM which can accommodate up to 900 guests.
The new hotel is in JP Tower Osaka, Umeda, known for its modern architecture, shopping, and nightlife. It's directly connected to the West Exit of JR Osaka Station in the Osaka Station City complex, featuring a rooftop garden, dining, and a cinema.
Umeda also has extensive underground malls like Whity Umeda and Diamor Osaka, ideal for summer exploration. The district is about 30 minutes by public transport from Osaka Itami International Airport.
