Accor is set to open its first dual-branded hotel in Japan’s vibrant city of Osaka with the December arrival of the 288-key Mercure Tokyu Stay Osaka Namba.
The new hotel will open its doors on December 1, in the city’s entertainment and shopping district and is ideally positioned within a four-minute walk from Namba station, which offers a direct train line to Kansai International Airport.
The hotel’s design focuses on the distinctive culture, history and values that the city of Osaka has been built on such as chic dark interiors reminiscent of firewood. The Nishi Shinsaibashi area housed many warehouses for firewood wholesalers during the Edo period which were later turned into galleries, boutiques and a gathering spot for the local artists and creatives.
The 288 contemporary rooms of Mercure Tokyu Stay Osaka Namba are ideal for short-stay and long-stay guests, with a portion of guestrooms offering washer-dryers and kitchenettes, one of the signature features of Tokyu Stay properties. The Duplex Suite and Premium Twin Rooms offer panoramic views of the cityscape of Osaka and Namba, and all guestrooms are equipped with 50-inch TVs, rain showers and high-speed Wifi.
Authentic Italian cuisine at CENTRE M, an all-day dining restaurant specializing in fresh pastas, provides guests with a place where they can escape from the hustle and bustle of the Minami area to fully immerse themselves in a pleasant moment of dining. The breakfast buffet changes daily and features over 40 different items made with local products including a vibrant and healthy power salad and freshly baked pastries crafted in the open kitchen. The afternoon tea menu will highlight seasonal fruits as well as freshly baked financiers that can also be purchased as souvenirs.
“We are thrilled to introduce Mercure Tokyu Stay Osaka Namba, a unique and significant addition to our midscale brand portfolio in Japan,” says Garth Simmons, Chief Executive Officer, Accor Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea. “This property offers the perfect setting for local and international visitors to explore the local scene whether they are in town for business or leisure, and enjoy the warm hospitality that is unique to this region.”
