Hilton (NYSE: HLT) today announced the opening of Canopy by Hilton Osaka Umeda, marking the brand's first Canopy in Asia Pacific outside of China. Located within one of Japan's most exciting urban centers, the hotel offers a thoughtfully curated, boutique stay, drawing inspiration from the vibrant energy and cultural heritage of Osaka. Whether for business or leisure, guests are invited to experience a modern and stylish stay rooted in the culture of the local area.
Located within the expansive GRAND GREEN OSAKA urban complex, the hotel is surrounded by UMEKITA PARK, lifestyle stores, and community spaces that foster idea generation, innovation and collaboration amongst organizations and institutes in public and private sectors. Conveniently located an approximately seven-minute walk from JR Osaka Station, the hotel provides easy access to major JR, Hankyu and Osaka Metro lines, with Kansai International Airport just an hour away by train. In this prime location, the hotel also serves as an ideal base for exploring neighboring cities like Kyoto, Kobe and Nara. As a Canopy signature offering, guests can also immerse themselves in the surrounds with complimentary rental bicycles to explore the unique neighborhoods.
The hotel features 308 rooms, including 52 suites, among which is the expansive 127 square-meter Canopy Panorama View Suite, along with 19 connecting rooms. In every room, Fukusuke dolls - traditional Kansai charms clad in red and white kimonos with polka dot pattens - serve as a cheerful welcome amenity while bath salts and aid serene wind-downs. Emblems such as Sennari Byotan, the horse insignia of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, a pivotal figure in Japan's history; and the Metasequoia tree, reflecting the lush greenery of UMEKITA PARK; are thoughtfully weaved throughout the property's contemporary design.
Other local elements that invite guests to explore Osaka's storied heritage and vibrant spirit include takoyaki-shaped lighting and motifs (a reference to the city's soul food). These ball-shaped snacks are made with octopus and traditionally eaten with toothpicks - both of which are cleverly and respectively referenced in abstract paintings and hanging pipes.
Lift buttons crafted by Kantaro - a signboard shop in Sakai - feature letters handwritten by craftsmen. The property also offers a selection of pet-friendly rooms for those traveling with their beloved furry companions.
Canopy Osaka Umeda serves as a gathering place for adventurous individuals, curious travelers, creators and innovators from around the world. The hotel features unique community spaces inspired by the city's history and culture as well as elevated dining experiences. Guests can enjoy a variety of food and beverage options, including Bean there, UMEDA cafe, all-day Japanese fusion restaurant CC:CARBON COPY, and bar and lounge !JaJa!Bar, which boasts unparalleled views of the city.
The curved ceiling of CC:CARBON COPY's booth seating with neon lights was intentionally designed to resemble the bustling arcade of Kuromon Market and its diverse culinary offerings. Menus here feature creative fusion cuisine, from okonomiyaki-style cabbage wedges and edamame hummus, to seared bonito carpaccio with Narazuke salsa sauce and Uji matcha panna cotta.
On the ground floor, Bean There, UMEDA provides a welcoming space where guests can savor the hotel's original coffee roast by local LiLo Coffee Roasters, local pastries, and sandwiches. It's the perfect spot for a family brunch, takeout for a picnic at the park, or a social evening with friends.
!JaJa!Bar, with its outdoor terrace, combines the city's vibrant buzz with a sense of community, creating a lively retreat at Canopy. Here, guests can enjoy communal dining and nostalgic gaming or celebrate street food under pendant lamps reminiscent of those found in Japanese subway stations.
A 24-hour fitness center with stunning city views ensures that guests can maintain their wellness routines while on the road. The hotel's flexible meeting facilities include a 100 square-meter meeting room, a 65 square-meter boardroom, and a 55 square-meter meeting studio and event space, creating conducive environments for intimate events or small conferences.
