Centara Opens a New Hotel Icon in Osaka, Japan

With the opening of Centara Grand Hotel Osaka, a sparkling 33-story tower that will become a new icon in this lively metropolis, Centara Hotels & Resorts, Thailand’s premier hotel operator, is ready to make its debut in Japan.

This modern five-star hotel, which is slated to open its doors in July 2023, will soar above the city close to Namba, Osaka’s most active entertainment and shopping zone. This has developed into the ideal destination for business and leisure travelers alike thanks to its excellent location, a variety of eating options, first-rate services, and first-rate event space.

The 515 rooms and suites of the Centara Grand Hotel Osaka, which range in size from 28 to 60 square meters and come in Standard, Superior, Deluxe, Deluxe with Bunk Beds, and Suite options, are ideal for all types of travelers, including single travelers, couples, and families.

The sleek, contemporary decor, king or twin beds, floor-to-ceiling windows, and in-room conveniences like Nespresso coffee makers, Smart TVs, rain showers, and high-speed Wi-Fi are all features of each room. Guests staying on the executive floors (26-31) will have access to the Club Lounge’s special services.

With a diverse selection of eateries and bars, this new hotel will further boost Osaka’s status as the culinary capital of Japan. While Whiskey Nova is a chic steakhouse on the 32nd story where prime meats can be coupled with an extensive selection of whiskeys and wines, Kunsei Kitchen is a dramatic top floor smokehouse where inventive cuisine is paired with exquisite wines and panoramic views.

Both Suan Bua and Embassy of Crab honor Centara’s historic Thai heritage with incredibly authentic Southeast Asian street food and exquisite seafood specialties, respectively. Embassy of Crab also serves its trademark crab dishes.

Platform 2 Café offers light meals and homemade pastries during the day, Automata is a futuristic self-service cocktail bar on the 32nd floor where visitors can design their own perfect drinks, and Crudo Deck is an outdoor rooftop venue where guests can enjoy world-class cuisine and sunset cocktails while a resident DJ spins upbeat music for truly memorable events. This 90 square meter rooftop venue serves as a breathtaking location for inspiring events.

A gleaming 351 sq m Grand Ballroom, which can be divided into two smaller spaces, and three other meeting rooms measuring 26 to 30 sq m are also available to business travelers and meeting organizers. When visitors are not working or visiting this captivating city, they may work out in the fitness facility or enjoy calming therapies at the Thai-inspired SPA Cenvaree, which offers four treatment rooms, a foot massage area and Thai massage room.

In late 2022, Japan’s borders were fully reopened, allowing travelers to once again explore the “Land of the Rising Sun’s” numerous beauties. The second-largest city in Japan, Osaka, is home to an incredible variety of attractions, from classics like Osaka Castle and Shitennoji Temple to cutting-edge wonders like Universal Studios and the Osaka Aquarium. The area surrounding the hotel, Namba, is teeming with shopping centers, eateries, and pubs.
