The 50 Best Hotel Openings of 2025

Patina Osaka, Japan

Keys: 221
Design: Jun Mitsui & Associates Architects and Strickland
Why we love it: The design of Patina Osaka is rooted in kisetsukan—the Japanese principle of living in rhythm with the seasons and the natural world. Inspired by the neighboring Osaka Castle and its surrounding parks, the refined interiors incorporate materials like wood, copper, and stone.
