InterContinental Osaka occupies high floors above Grand Front Osaka, placing its rooms, suites and residences beside JR Osaka Station in Umeda. Interiors combine polished contemporary lines with Japanese references, from pale wood guestrooms to marble bathrooms with rain showers and deep soaking tubs. Dining is a central strength, led by Pierre, NOKA Roast & Grill and the lounge and bar spaces above the city. The spa, indoor pool, jet bath, sauna, traditional bathhouse and 28th-floor Club InterContinental give the hotel a composed urban resort quality within Osaka's main transport and shopping district.
