Lobby featuring art inspired by Katsushika Hokusai's "Phoenix Screen"

Royal Hotel Co., Ltd. (Nakanoshima, Kita-ku, Osaka; President and CEO Fumiichi Ueda) will open "Ancard by Rihga Osaka Namba," a new brand hotel under the Rihga Royal Hotels, on Friday, April 3, 2026, following its development by Tokyu Land Corporation (Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO Hiroaki Hoshino). The concept is "PLAYFUL OSAKA." The hotel offers a memorable "PLAYFUL" stay experience with art inspired by the energetic atmosphere of the Namba and Shinsekai areas, including a dynamic mural in the lobby featuring a "phoenix," which is considered a "sign of good fortune," and warm, friendly service.

The new hotel is located within walking distance of "Shinsekai," known for Tsutenkaku Tower, "Ura-Namba," where food cultures mingle, and "Ota Road," a mecca for subcultures, making it an excellent location to fully enjoy Osaka's local gourmet food and unique tourist spots.

The hotel features 200 guest rooms, all equipped with a wash area in the bathroom and a separate toilet. It also has a restaurant where guests can enjoy Osaka-style breakfast and dinner, including "Western-style takoyaki" grilled on a hot plate and mixed juice, throughout the day. On the top floor, there is a large public bath and sauna. All spaces are decorated with unique and playful art by artists associated with Osaka, embodying the "PLAYFUL OSAKA" concept.

As a base for sightseeing to enjoy "deep Osaka," we offer a relaxing stay that heals the mind and body while immersing guests in the excitement of a thrilling journey.
