Autograph Collection Hotels, part of Marriott Bonvoy’s portfolio of over 30 extraordinary hotel brands, today announced the opening of THE OSAKA STATION HOTEL, Autograph Collection in Osaka, a city fondly referred to as “The Nation’s Kitchen” (tenka no daidokoro), reflecting Osaka’s enduring reputation as Japan’s culinary paradise. The nickname originated during the Edo period due to the city’s history as a major center for the rice trade and other commerce and has lasted as Osaka’s vibrant food scene continues to attract visitors from all over Japan and the world.
“We are delighted to celebrate the opening of THE OSAKA STATION HOTEL, the fifth hotel to join the expanding portfolio of these unique Autograph Collection hotels in Japan,” said Karl Hudson, Area Vice President Japan and Guam, Marriott International. “Autograph Collection Hotels advocate for their destinations across 50 countries and territories around the world, each of which offer immersive moments that leave lasting impressions for its guests.

In addition to check-in and check-out assistance, guests staying in Specialty and Suites can enjoy breakfast, snacks, afternoon tea, cocktails and nightcaps served in the Specialty Salon on the 38th floor.
The interior design is inspired by the philosophy of Sen no Rikyu, a tea master born in Sakai, Osaka and known for his “spirit of seeing things clearly.” The hotel authentically reflects the refined culture of Osaka with its impeccable hospitality and inspiring experiences that invite guests into a world of luxurious relaxation. By prioritizing guest interactions and forming personal connections, the hotel aims to provide guests with the very best as they explore the property and the many attractions available throughout the city.
