Amazing Stay at Four Seasons Hotel Osaka

I recently visited Osaka, Japan, and stayed at an incredible hotel that I must share with everyone! I didn't have high expectations for accommodations in Osaka, especially after a disappointing stay at the W Hotel near Shinsaibashi. This time, I chose the newly opened Four Seasons Hotel Osaka, which opened in August, mainly because other hotels didn't seem appealing. But as soon as I entered the room, I was amazed! The view from the bathroom corner was fantastic, and I immediately felt that Umeda is the real Osaka. I stayed in a Premier Corner Suite, which is 69 square meters. Although it's not the largest suite, the layout is well-designed, and it doesn't feel small at all. The hotel is very new, and the hardware meets Four Seasons standards. The materials and actual appearance are even better than the pictures, especially the bathroom. The light-colored design doesn't contrast strongly, which makes it less photogenic. The room had no odor, although the hallway had a slight smell. However, the room was well-ventilated and clean. The suite faces south, so it gets good natural light, and the layout is nice, except for a giant load-bearing column in the living room that's a bit of an eyesore. There's also a large walk-in closet, but unfortunately, no guest bathroom. The shower curtain is manual, so if you want to enjoy the view, you have to pull the curtain yourself. The service was standard. The front desk staff were not particularly enthusiastic by Japanese standards, but they were efficient and competent. Housekeeping was thorough and timely. I must praise the complimentary shoe-shining service. My white shoes, which were in terrible condition after a night out, were restored to their original state by the hotel. It was impressive! As for dining, breakfast was a semi-buffet with ordinary taste and limited choices. You could only choose one main dish, which I find stingy for Japanese hotels. The Chinese restaurant, Jiangnan Chun, was good, with set meals at reasonable prices. It's worth a try. Overall, I highly recommend the Four Seasons Hotel Osaka. If you're visiting Osaka, don't miss out on this gem!
