$$$$, Chuo-ku
Fodor's Review:
Indoor and outdoor pools, a rooftop garden, tennis courts, and a sparkling marble atrium make this amenities-rich hotel a popular choice for Japanese and Westerners. The modern rooms, large by Japanese standards, afford handsome views of Osaka-jo and the Neya-gawa (Neya River). Rooms have light color schemes accented with geometric patterns and Japan-inspired modern prints. The New Otani is like a minicity within Osaka Business Park. Spend an evening in the Teppanyaki restaurant on the 11th floor enjoying Osaka-jo in all its floodlit glory.
