Detailed review & photos “The Ritz-Carlton Osaka”

The hotel is a 37-story building with guest rooms that start from the 6th floor. The hotel is white and looks like a castle.

There are trees planted at the entrance which felt like I was in a different world even though I was in the center of a big city.

A gate with the hotel name.

There was a fountain in the middle of the roundabout.

There was a doorman at the entrance who opened the doors for me.

There were many antique-style interiors and artworks, and it was like a classic Western-style building with a calm and luxurious atmosphere.

The lobby was not very big, but there was a marble fireplace with sofas which was like a luxurious Western-style living room.

The view in the evening and at night was very beautiful.

There was a rain shower with water pressure that was strong enough.

Asprey shampoo, conditioner and shower gel were prepared in the shower booth. It had an elegant smell.

I was able to spend a quality time in a cozy space with a chic atmosphere.

I had breakfast at the an Italian restaurant “Splendido.” on the 1st floor.

The restaurant was big and divided into the main dining hall, a terrace area, and an area with a wine cellar. It was a warm and stylish space that was like a Tuscan villa.

Breakfast was buffet style with an open kitchen.

I did not use it, but the lobby lounge on the first floor was also a nice lounge with an antique European interior with a nice atmosphere. At night, I heard live jazz music playing.

The hotel is located in an office district with high-rise buildings.

There was a passage connecting Herbis Plaza and with the hotel.

There was a wedding being held during my stay, so I do not know if they were guest, but there seemed to be many Japanese people. I also saw Westerners staying. The guests were all very calm.
