Experience Luxury in the Sky at Conrad Osaka

Panoramic views at Conrad Osaka

If you're planning a trip to Japan and want to experience modern luxury and panoramic city views, you need to checkout Conrad Osaka. Known as “Your Address in the Sky,” this five-star hotel is located on highest floors of Nakanoshima Festival West Tower. (Read my full disclosures here before reading this post.)

I have stayed at another Conrad property in Las Vegas. Japan is known for their excellent custom service and hospitality. When I found out I was able to stay at Conrad Osaka, I was really excited! I decided to stay at Conrad Osaka in the middle of my travels while in Japan. I think if you are going to spend money at a luxury hotel, it is ideal to spend most of a day enjoying the property. I only stayed for one night then I moved on to Ginza Tokyo. I spent the majority of my stay at the hotel enjoying the pool, gym, and their dining options.

The entrance to the hotel is on the ground floor where you will see valet. The valet helped guide us to the elevators that took us up to the lobby.

Location and Accessibility

Osaka Conrad is located in the vibrant Nakanoshima district. This hotel is surrounded by art museums, historic architecture, and the serene rivers that weave through the city. With direct access to Higobashi and Watanabebashi rail (this station is two minutes from the hotel entrance) stations, and just a short walk from Umeda and Osaka Castle. Dontobori is just a 15-minute train ride away from Conrad Osaka. This hotel is perfectly positioned for both business and leisure travelers.

The Arrival

The lobby is welcoming, clean, and sleek. The hotel has floor to ceiling windows that offers many views of the city. In the lobby, there are many seating options to sit back and enjoy the views. The hotel staff greeted us with friendly smiles and had great attitudes throughout the check in process. After exiting the elevators, there is a massive spiral staircase that leads to convention rooms.

The hotel staff was impeccable and checked us in quickly. From the bell desk to reception to dining staff, every touch point of service was amazing. Everyone was kind and showed some of the best hospitality I have ever had. With my Hilton Diamond status, a hotel staff guided us to the private Hilton Honors club, where we waited for our room to be ready.

Accommodations

There are 164 rooms and suites feature floor-to-ceiling windows, and breathtaking views of Osaka’s skyline and rivers. The interiors are a blend of contemporary design and traditional Japanese aesthetics, creating a calming, luxurious atmosphere. I personally did not want to leave my room. The room was relaxing after a few days out exploring the historical sights Osaka has to offer. (Click here to see my blog post about exploring Osaka.)

The room is spacious with high-end technology. The curtains and lights were controlled by an iPad. The bathroom was sleek and offered a name brand toiletry line. The king bed mattress was comfortable. The comforter was plush and clean. The room also had a Nespresso machine.

Dining Experience

Dining at Conrad Osaka is an experience in itself. All four restaurants and lounges are located on the 40th floor.

• Kura: A theatrical teppanyaki and sushi experience

• C:Grill: Fresh seafood dishes

• Atmos Dining: Global flavors served buffet-style all day

• 40 Sky Bar & Lounge: Afternoon tea, cocktails, and light bites with a skyline backdrop

I dined in at the 40 Sky Bar & Lounge. I also enjoyed the breakfast buffet. The food from both restaurants was some of the best food I had while in Japan. The breakfast buffet was my favorite. They had a barista making coffees. I ended up getting a matcha latte. There were cooks also making omelets. Some other breakfast items that were offered included pastries, berry yogurt, roast beef, and fresh salmon. The roast beef and pastries were phenomenal.

Hotel Facilities

At the Conrad Spa, you can indulge in treatment rooms, jet baths. The spa also has a beauty salon. The heated indoor pool makes lounging by the poll accessible all year. I like to work out when I am on vacation. So, a well-equipped gym is important to me. Conrad Osaka has a good gym. It has a few cardio machines, accessory machines and free weights. There also snacks, water, and towels provided in the gym.

Hilton Honors:

I enjoy being a Hilton Honors member because it made my stay at Conrad Osaka even better! I had access to the lounge that provided a happy hour that was exclusive to those with Hilton Honors status. You can also use your points or free night certificates to stay at Conrad Osaka. I used a free night certificate, so it was no money out of pocket for the room!

Final Thoughts:

Conrad Osaka lived up to their reputation as a luxury brand hotel. The overall experience is unforgettable. From the location to service to dining, this hotel has some of the best hospitality. I enjoyed my stay here and would highly-recommend it to others! When I go back to Japan for a third time, I am making it a priority to stay here again.
