A lobby featuring art inspired by Katsushika Hokusai's "Phoenix Screen."
Royal Hotel, Ltd. (Kita-ku, Osaka; President & CEO: Fumikazu Ueda) will open "Anchored by RIHGA Osaka Namba," a new brand hotel in the RIHGA Royal Hotels group, on Friday, April 3, 2026, following its development by Tokyu Land Corporation (Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Hiroaki Hoshino). The concept is "PLAYFUL OSAKA." Starting with a dynamic mural in the lobby featuring a "phoenix," said to be a harbinger of good fortune, the hotel will provide a memorable "PLAYFUL" stay experience through art inspired by the energetic atmosphere of the Namba and Shinsekai areas, combined with warm and friendly service.
The new hotel is in a prime location for fully enjoying Osaka's unique localグルメ and tourist spots, with areas like "Shinsekai," known for the Tsutenkaku Tower, "Ura Namba," a mix of food cultures, and "Otaroad," a haven for subculture, all within walking distance.
The hotel features 200 guest rooms, all equipped with a separate bath and toilet. It also has a restaurant that can be enjoyed throughout the day from breakfast to dinner, serving Osaka-style dishes like "Western-style takoyaki" cooked on a teppan grill and mixed juice. On the top floor, there is a public bath and sauna. In all these spaces, Osaka-related artists have colored the environment with unique and playful art, embodying the "PLAYFUL OSAKA" concept.
As a base for enjoying "Deep Osaka," we offer a relaxing stay that soothes both mind and body while immersing you in the excitement of your travels.
