Hoshino Resorts’ first airport hotel, OMO Kansai Airport by Hoshino Resorts, will open on March 20th, 2023. The hotel is a one-minute walk from Rinku Town Station, which is one stop away from Kansai Airport. With its concept of a "fun time close to the sky," the hotel promises not only the conveniences of an airport hotel but also a time well spent both before and after air travel.
A survey conducted independently by OMO* revealed that guests look especially at price, accessibility, and cleanliness when choosing a hotel near an airport, and the majority find it as just a place to sleep. On the other hand, the results also showed that guests spend a surprisingly long time in the hotel. For this reason, we decided to go beyond the conventional expectations of an airport hotel and ensure that guests can make the most of their time during their trip from beginning to end, expressed in the concept of "fun time close to the sky." Located "close to the sky" - a one-minute walk from Rinku Town Station, one stop from Kansai Airport Station - the hotel offers services that turn the time waiting for a flight into an exciting "fun time."
*According to OMO by Hoshino Resorts "Airport Hotel Usage Trends: Independent Survey," March 2022.
Exciting, fun-filled OMO Base (Traveler's Fun Lounge)
The OMO Base is your home base when staying in town. The hotel provides neighborhood maps and workspaces, so guests can spend their time planning their trip or taking a break. At OMO Kansai Airport, the OMO Base is located on both the first and second floors. The connecting walkway between the train station and the hotel on the second floor is decorated in the style of airplane engines and seats, a design that evokes excitement at the beginning of a journey. The first floor is where the parking lot and airport shuttle bus stop are located and also features a lounge area with an interior inspired by airplane seats and windows for guests to wait for their transport or rest.
Refreshing between trips at the public bath
The large bath area has an indoor bath and a semi-open-air bath. The indoor bath zone has an electric bath, a carbonated bath, a dry sauna and a water bath that is perfect for refreshing between trips. Images of Japan's four seasons and culture are projected on the walls of the semi-open-air bath. Take a slow soak to enjoy a soothing and relaxing "fun time."
