Concept
The concept of the hotel is “big-hearted and brassy, Osaka is yours”. It is the city of popular foods such as Takoyaki and kushikatsu, a city of canals with history and culture, and a city of merchants that lead way to people of warmth and friendliness. Osaka fosters countless distinct cultures with plenty of fun and deep areas as well as classic tourist spots. Osaka steals the hearts of many for its vibrant and energetic charms we wanted to share this through our hotel for city tourism.

Special facilities of OMO7
■Garden area for guests to connect with the city
In front of the hotel tower lies a vast garden area in the middle of the city with an area of approximately 7600 meters squared. This was created in the hopes for tourists and the locals to have a good time at a place that could be the next landmark of the city. This area has different elements of nature from flat grasslands to hilly sides and terrace areas to lounge around in the open air. It is structured so that a gentle hill connects the entrance of the premises to the hotel tower (second floor).
■Public bathhouse in the city of sento, communal bathhouses
The bathhouse is open to guests staying at the hotel and is located within the garden area. The exterior is reminiscent of the history of public bathhouses, incorporating light and shadow in its design. The white color symbolizes the vibrant and bright merchant city of Osaka and the silver color reflects the smoke from factories that covered the sky during the development years of the city. A sense of home away from home awaits at OMO7 Osaka with clouds of steam escaping from the skylight of the bathhouse, creating a cozy feeling. This will be a space where guests can spend a relaxing time within the city.
3)Go-KINJO to enjoy the city to the fullest
OMO considers the city centered around the hotel to be part of the resort and hopes for guests to go out into the city as much as possible. OMO Rangers will support guests’ trips through sharing of knowledge through the Go-KINJO Map and our local guide tours of nearby attractions. Food tours of local fast food, as well as neighborhood tours around the Shinsekai area, are in development for guests to have a fun day out in energetic Osaka!
