Shin Umeda holdout
Classic European styling creates an unhurried atmosphere beside the futuristic towers of Shin Umeda City and the neighboring urban forest.
Where it shines
Listed
Marble bathrooms with separate soaking tubs, plus signature Heavenly Beds in every room.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The surrounding plaza borders the twin towers of Umeda Sky Building, with JR Osaka Station a seven-minute walk away.
The rooms
Spacious European-styled rooms feature deep marble soaking tubs, separate showers, and expansive views toward the Rokko Mountains.
The water
Bring a swimsuit.
The pool
Floor-to-ceiling windows line the heated indoor lap pool, bordered by tiled columns and a circular whirlpool.
The gym and running track
An indoor gym looks out across the city, and an open-air jogging track loops around the rooftop garden.
At the table
Hanano overlooks an interior garden from dedicated dining counters, and Blue Bar pours classic cocktails under a crystal chandelier.
How it began
Opening in 1993, this property served as the first Westin in Japan, anchoring the ambitious Shin Umeda City development.
