5. Hotel or accommodation

ANA Hotel Osaka

Information from Fodor's

One of Osaka's oldest deluxe hotels, the ANA overlooks Naka-no-shima Koen. The 24-story building is a handsome white-tile structure with some unusual architectural features like great fluted columns in the lobby. There's also an enclosed courtyard with trees. The main bar is a throwback to a 1950s English gentlemen's club. Guest rooms feature shades of chocolate, tan, and cream. Each room has a trouser press, and the cups are traditional Japanese ceramics.
