About
From the street, W Osaka (2021) is an austere black tower whose only decoration is Ando-esque restraint. Inside it flips: a cherry-blossom tunnel entry, a living-room lobby on 3F glowing with Osaka-themed art, retro-pop bars and suites lined with mirrors and LED. The MIXup bar and the Oh.lala... dessert spot are open to everyone, and the hotel sits in the middle of the Shinsaibashi and Midosuji boutique strip.
Highlights
- Black exterior concept by Tadao Ando
- Riotous pop-art interiors inspired by Osaka street culture
