If you love hotel rooms that are fun and vibrant, W Hotel Osaka should be top on your list. At first glance, the interiors generally have a sleek and minimalist vibe, but spend a little more time and you’ll start to uncover surprising elements like playful illustrations of the Osakan landscape drawn on the insides of the wardrobes or the coloured lights that will give the entire space a pink glow.

Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the spaces with natural light and offer stunning views of Osaka’s vibrant cityscape, from its glittering skyline to the bustling streets below. We especially enjoyed the bath, which had a view of Mido-suji.

If you’re a first-timer to Osaka, there’s no better place to stay than along Mido-suji. Minutes away from the bustling Shinsaibashi area, which is populated with department stores, luxury brands and vintage shops, it’s a fashion lover’s paradise. Just a couple more steps down and your feet will take you to the famous Glico running man and bustling Dotonburi for all your favourite street eats.
