I’m a sucker for views, especially from guest rooms, and the Waldorf Astoria has some of the best views in Osaka. When the lights come on in the evening, it’s truly magical and you can enjoy the views from the rooms and the beautiful bars and restaurants at the hotel.

In terms of convenience, it’s hard to beat this hotel: Some of Osaka’s best shopping malls and restaurant halls are within a few minutes’ easy walk. This is great on hot or rainy days. And, of course, Osaka Station is the city’s main transport hub.
