As a fan of Mitsui Garden Hotels, you’d probably love to stay at every thoughtfully designed property in their collection, right? Today, let me introduce you to the uniquely singular Mitsui Garden Hotel Osaka PREMIER located in Osaka Prefecture.
A Charming Oasis of Elegance and Culture in the City Center
Tired of staying in Shinsaibashi, Shin-Imamiya, or Zoo-mae? Why not experience the distinct feel of staying on the slender island of Nakanoshima near Osaka Station?
Nakanoshima, a rare gem with underground museums like the National Museum of Art, Osaka, the newly opened Nakanoshima Museum of Art in 2022, and the Osaka Science Museum which will unveil a new look after the summer of 2024, is filled with artistic ambiance despite being in the city center.
Situated between the Dojima River and Tosabori River, Nakanoshima in northern Osaka is surrounded by clear rivers and green spaces. This 3-kilometer-long island, covering approximately 50 hectares, hosts the city’s first park, Nakanoshima Park, and numerous historical buildings. Mitsui Garden Hotel Osaka PREMIER is also located here, just a 5-minute walk from two nearby subway stations, making transportation very convenient.
Moreover, Mitsui Garden Hotel Osaka PREMIER offers a free shuttle service between the hotel and JR Osaka Station. Except during lunchtime, there are 1 to 3 shuttle runs available from 7 AM to 9 PM. This convenient service means you won’t have to haul your luggage up and down, and can reach JR Osaka Station in just about 10 minutes, making travel effortless even if you’re carrying large bags or traveling with children.
Subtle Luxury Everywhere, with the Irresistible ReFa Hair Dryer
Opened 10 years ago, Mitsui Garden Hotel Osaka PREMIER maintains a quality that rivals newer establishments, showcasing understated luxury from the very first glance. Upon entering the grand and elegant lobby, you’ll instantly feel the essence of Mitsui Garden Hotels. The first floor features an automatic check-in machine, with a tablet displaying weather and other necessary information.
After check-in, guests receive a room card, with different colors for men and women, which also grants access to the respective male and female bath areas. Guests staying on the executive floors use this card to access the lounge on the 16th floor.
Guests in standard rooms on floors below the 12th must pick up their amenities, while those on floors 13 through 15 can directly access their room upon arrival.
This time, we’re unboxing the Queen Deluxe Room on the executive floor. The 22-square-meter room features a double bed with a width of 164 cm. The wooden flooring and the view of the night scenery outside the window create a relaxing atmosphere.
One of the most memorable features at Mitsui Garden Hotel Osaka PREMIER is the ReFa hair dryer provided in every room! Concerned about your hair misbehaving and affecting your photo sessions during your travels? Be sure to pamper your locks each night with the ReFa hair dryer!
Exclusive Lounge for Executive Floor Guests! Enjoy Unlimited Alcoholic Beverages!
Guests staying on the executive floors at Mitsui Garden Hotel Osaka PREMIER not only enjoy stunning views of Nakanoshima from their rooms but also gain access to the exclusive lounge on the 16th floor.
Despite being in the midst of towering city buildings, this lounge offers a refreshing escape with its lush greenery and expansive views. The design concept of the lounge includes a work area with unlimited charging, a relaxation space, and outdoor terrace seating to cater to various needs.
Open for approximately 18 hours a day, the lounge is stocked with light snacks and refreshments throughout the day. From 6:00 PM to 11:00 PM, it offers complimentary alcoholic beverages, including sparkling wine, wine (red and white), draft beer, whiskey highball, and shochu. Tired from a day of shopping? Head up in the evening to enjoy the night view with a drink!
Outdoor Bath and Mini Garden: Relax and Rejuvenate Amidst the Urban Jungle!
One of the most loved features of Mitsui Garden Hotels is their large bath. The laundry and spa facilities on the 16th floor are available for all guests, allowing you to enjoy them regardless of how late you return to the hotel, making it a boon for travelers who’ve been on their feet all day.
Not sure how to take advantage of these amenities? Don’t worry! When you’re ready to unwind and wash away the day’s fatigue, just bring the towels, pajamas, and slippers provided in your room, and use your room key to access the facilities.
Access to the spa is controlled by the room key, so if you forget it, you’ll need to return to your room. The spa areas are gender-segregated according to the color of the access card you receive at check-in.
Although traditional customs often prohibit guests with tattoos from using public baths, the hotel has adapted to changing values and the needs of international guests by providing tattoo cover-up stickers. Be sure to ask the front desk for one if needed!
