Rihga Royal Hotel Osaka リーガロイヤルホテル（大阪）
Osaka's grand old hotel (1935 roots, main building 1973) by Nakanoshima, famous for its Main Lounge with a cascading garden waterfall and a ceiling of gold-leaf "Ladder of Cranes" lanterns.
About
Designed by Isoya Yoshida, the Main Lounge of the Rihga Royal is one of the great mid-century hotel interiors in Japan: a vast, low room of lacquered columns and gold-hued lanterns facing a glass wall onto a man-made waterfall garden. The hotel hosted state guests for decades and still has the old-world charm of attentive staff and classic restaurants. It's a quiet base on the west of Nakanoshima, with free shuttle buses to Osaka Station.
