W Osaka

I happened to catch a promotional period at the W Hotel during the summer. At the front desk, I was told I could upgrade to the 17th floor for an additional 500 RMB, which offered a great sense of space and view, so I didn't hesitate to upgrade. The room itself wasn't particularly spacious, but I suppose that's common for hotels in Japan. I'd love to come back again if I get the chance.

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve stayed here. This might just be my favorite hotel in the world. It’s true, it might not be everyone’s cup of tea. But once you pass through the entrance tunnel, you’re transported to another world, even though you’re still in Osaka. This time, I was on a blue floor. Despite the heat outside, it felt like the temperature dropped by 5°C. The elevator was neon pink. I was greeted with a warm “Welcome back.” And I replied, “I’m home.” I was on the top floor, the 27th, on the Midosuji side, my favorite pink floor. Odd-numbered floors are pink, even-numbered are blue. Soon after, Jack brought my luggage. As always, he pulled my stopper from his breast pocket. Thank you. “Midosuji is all mine!” I declared, and then it was bath time. I headed to WET on the 4th floor. I read a book by the poolside, then soaked in the jacuzzi, repeating the cycle. Later, I had a French 75 at LIVING ROOM, served by Mr. Yajima. The Mexican dish I often order had been slightly revamped and was even more delicious. Back in my room, it was bath time again. Oh? Extra towels, bath salts, skincare, and a chair! Ah, I remember mentioning it last time. The chair wasn't quite what I had in mind, though. After that, I fell into a deep sleep, so no turndown service this time. Oh! Their laundry service is excellent here. I always have my high-end brand T-shirts cleaned here. It costs almost 10,000 yen locally, which is a bit much. They even managed to remove a stain from a skirt that H Nagoya couldn't get out. It’s not cheap, there’s no lounge, and no gym. But I absolutely love it. Thank you always, see you again.

I have to say, the night view of Osaka is truly beautiful, and the environment is great. The location is excellent, very close to the commercial district, so you can easily shop at Parco and Don Quijote. There was also a bellhop who helped us with our luggage.

The hotel's location is excellent, within walking distance to shopping areas, and there's a popular cafe right downstairs. The room was also really nice, and I loved the small bar counter by the window! I'll definitely book here again next time.

The hotel's facilities are excellent. The room was spacious with a great view. There was also a good selection of alcohol, though I don't drink. Shopping is super convenient, with Shinsaibashi right next door, and Daimaru and Takashimaya department stores within easy walking distance. You can even pop into the Ferrari store nearby.

The bed was super comfy, and the room had great natural light. The entrance design was quite spectacular. The breakfast selection could be expanded and improved. They offer multilingual service, so there's no need to worry about language barriers.
