New York’s Most Storied Hotel Brand, Now in Osaka
Waldorf Astoria Osaka opened in April 2025 within the South Park Tower at Grand Green Osaka, steps from JR Osaka Station in the Umekita district. Its 252 rooms and suites occupy floors 31 through 38, with 360-degree views stretching from Osaka Bay to the Hyogo mountains.
The Waldorf Astoria name dates to 1893 in New York. In Osaka, architect André Fu has translated its Art Deco heritage through a mix of Eastern and Western design. The result feels connected to the brand’s history without losing sight of the city outside.
Floors 31 to 38. Views from the Bay to the Mountains.
Rooms start at 46 square metres. The two penthouse suites measure 146 square metres each; the Presidential Suite extends to 193 square metres. Every room is on the 31st floor or above, with the outlook changing by orientation—from Osaka Bay and the city grid to the distant mountains.
The interiors begin with Art Deco, then bring in materials and details inspired by Japanese craft. They feel substantial without becoming heavy, and Japanese in character without relying on obvious motifs.
From French Breakfasts to Jazz-Age Cocktails, All Under One Roof
Peacock Alley is the hotel’s signature social lounge, serving light meals and afternoon tea during the day, then champagne, cocktails and wine after dark.
Jolie Brasserie serves breakfast, lunch and dinner daily, with classic French dishes shaped by traditional Japanese techniques. Tsukimi has separate sushi and teppanyaki counters, along with private and semi-private dining.
Canes & Tales looks back to the cocktail culture of the Jazz Age, with tableside mixology at the centre of the experience. Pavilion, meanwhile, is a pastry boutique for cakes, tarts and seasonal sweets.

A Personal Concierge and Room Service at Any Hour
A dedicated Personal Concierge can help with tailored experiences and the details of a stay. In-room dining is available 24 hours. The spa draws on Japanese healing traditions, while an indoor pool and thermal facilities provide a quieter counterpoint to the city below.
Osaka Station Is Steps Away. Kyoto, Kobe and Nara Are Under an Hour by Rail.
Grand Green Osaka stands next to JR Osaka Station. Kyoto, Kobe and Nara are all reachable by rail in under an hour, while Shinsaibashi, Dotonbori and Osaka Castle remain within easy reach inside the city.
A Base for Travellers Who Want Osaka—and Kansai—Within Easy Reach
Waldorf Astoria Osaka suits travellers who value the tradition and formality of an internationally recognised luxury brand, those using Osaka as a base for wider travel across Kansai, and anyone who wants high-floor views to be part of the stay.
If you are looking for the intimacy of a traditional ryokan, another property may be a closer match. This is an international city hotel that brings elements of Osaka and Japan into the Waldorf Astoria world rather than trying to recreate an inn.
Choose the Room After You Choose the Season
Rates change with the time of year and room category. Once your travel dates are set, check the current price rather than relying on a single guide rate.
A New Osaka Address for a 130-Year-Old Name
Waldorf Astoria’s first hotel in Japan places more than 130 years of hospitality tradition above one of Osaka’s most useful transport hubs. The dining, spa and city views make the hotel a destination in itself; the station next door makes it practical for a wider Kansai trip.
