InterContinental Osaka has now opened in the center of Grand Front Osaka, Japan’s latest commercial development. As the seventh InterContinental hotel in Japan, InterContinental Osaka joins 170 InterContinental Hotels & Resorts around the world.
Starting from the 20th floor, InterContinental Osaka offers panoramic views of the city and the surrounding area of western Japan. The décor, completed by Hong Kong-based Bilkey Llinas Design, uses a motif of natural stones, wood, and glass to express Japanese ambience.
The hotel has a total of 215 guest rooms, while the InterContinental Residences located in the same building has a further 57 fully-furnished residential suites. Four meeting and event spaces-all featuring views of the water and greenery surrounding Grand Front Osaka-are available along with an onsite wedding chapel.
“Entering Osaka is an important milestone for InterContinental Hotels Group; it has great potential to be one of Asia’s major gateway cities,” says Jan Smits, chief executive, Asia, Middle East & Africa, IHG. “We have a long and enviable history in Japan and, with fantastic hotels such as InterContinental Osaka in our portfolio, we trust that we will maintain our position for many years to come.”
