Marriott Opens Japan's First W Hotel

Japan's first W hotel has opened for business.

Located on Midosuji Boulevard, the black monolith façade of the W Osaka was designed by architect Tadao Ando, with the interior design conceptualized by concrete, the Amsterdam-based design studio behind the W London and W Verbier.

The W Osaka houses 337 guestrooms and suites, each with floor-to-ceiling windows, spacious bathrooms with rain showers and luxe amenities. To represent Japan's famous pink cherry blossoms and Osaka's azure oceanside, color themes and neon light accents shine either pink or blue on each alternate floor.

“We are excited to once again be partnering with Sekisui House to welcome W Osaka to the luxury hospitality landscape here, and know international travelers and locals alike will be drawn to the hotel and its playground of possibilities,” said Rajeev Menon, President, Asia Pacific (excluding China), Marriott International.

Facilities at the hotel include two bars, four restaurants, a 200 sqm Penthouse Suite, a gym, yoga room, a spa with five treatment rooms, an indoor pool with an LED ceiling, as well as four event / meeting spaces.

“The energy and eclecticism of Japan, particularly Osaka, make it the perfect backdrop for a W hotel,” said Jennie Toh, Vice President of Brand Marketing and Brand Management, Asia Pacific, Marriott International. “From unforgettable dining experiences and live music sets to the thoughtful design rooted in the history and culture of the city, W Osaka is a destination within a destination where international jetsetters and local tastemakers meet and make magic.”
