Best Osaka Luxury Hotels

Osaka’s luxury hotels are on par with the best hotels anywhere in the world. Here’s our list of the best in the city.

[Four Seasons Hotel Osaka guest room]

We define a luxury hotel as any hotel costing more than ¥50,000 (US$341) per room/per night We’ve ranked these hotels based on quality, location, service and price. They are listed in order of preference — which is very subjective, of course. Any of the first four on this list could lay claim to being the best hotel in Osaka. So, your choice should be based mostly on where in the city you want to be. Check our Where to Stay in Osaka page before deciding where to stay.
