Four Seasons to Add a New Hotel in Osaka

Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts is planning a new hotel in Osaka, Japan.

The brand has teamed with Hotel Properties Limited (HPL) of Singapore and developer Tokyo Tatemono to create a hotel within the One Dojima Project, a high-rise mixed-use tower in Osaka’s Kinki neighborhood that began building in August.

Residences and a meeting center for tourists and businesses will be included in the 49-story tower. The structure, which would be around 195 meters tall, is slated to be one of Osaka City’s tallest.

The Four Seasons Hotel Osaka is set to debut in 2024 and will include 175 guest rooms.

Since the inauguration of the Dojima Rice Market, the world’s first futures exchange and the birthplace of trade in Japan, the neighborhood of Dojima has evolved as a commercial center along many canals in Osaka City. Today, the neighborhood has evolved into Osaka’s business district.

Nakanoshima, a nearby art neighborhood, is also flourishing, with the Nakanoshima Art Museum Osaka set to open in February 2022.

Four Seasons Hotel Osaka joins the brand’s existing hotels in Japan, which include the Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo at Marunouchi, Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo at Otemachi, Four Seasons Hotel Kyoto, and the soon-to-be-opened Four Seasons Resort Okinawa.

John Davison, President and Chief Executive of the Four Seasons, said: “We are honored to expand our presence in Japan with our long-time partners at HPL and with our new collaborators at Tokyo Tatemono, whose vision for the One Dojima project will create a new luxury lifestyle destination in Osaka.

“We are proud to be part of the One Dojima project with the upcoming Four Seasons Hotel Osaka, where our guests will soon enjoy the beautiful atmosphere created by local Japanese designers, along with the legendary Four Seasons service that is renowned in Japan and around the world.”
