Osaka
Contemporary Japanese luxury with strong ryokan DNA — light, airy, minimalist. Low-slung seating, sliding doors, washi paper headboards, and private ofuro baths sit alongside marble bathrooms and in-room iPads. It's a serious design hotel that doesn't shout about it.
Book the GENSUI floor directly — the SABO Lounge included complimentary breakfast and tea ceremony access is genuinely worth it
Why It Matters
Ranked #10 hotel in Japan in the 2025 Condé Nast Traveler Readers' Choice Awards. Home to Osaka's first dedicated modern ryokan hotel floor (GENSUI), a two-Michelin-starred sushi concept from Yannick Alléno, and a 16-metre indoor pool with panoramic skyline views — all in one building.
A sailboat-shaped skyscraper in Osaka's historic Dojima district that pulls off an impressive trick: feels sleek and contemporary from the outside, then pivots to something much more Japanese once you're inside. The star feature is the GENSUI floor (28th floor) — Osaka's first dedicated modern ryokan experience — where guests remove their shoes at the elevator, pad across rush-grass tatami mats, and sleep on luxurious futon platforms. Designed by CURIOSITY of Japan, the 175 rooms are genuinely spacious for a city hotel, most with window daybeds perfectly placed for skyline-gazing. Dining is serious: Yannick Alléno's L'Abysse sushi restaurant and the Cantonese Jiang Nan Chun anchor the 37th floor alongside Bar Bota's circular cocktail bar, all with wraparound city views.
