Condé Nast Hot List 2026

Character and identity

Occupying the top 13 floors of the Grand Green Osaka South Building above the Umekita district, this 252-room property is Japan's first Waldorf Astoria, opened in April 2025. Andre Fu's interiors reinterpret the brand's Art Deco DNA through a Japanese lens: a 23-foot lantern-inspired entry, kumiko woodwork, glass-encased Tsubaki gardens, and 360-degree views from Osaka Bay to the Hyogo mountains. Dining anchors the experience across teppanyaki specialist Tsukimi, French-leaning Jolie Brasserie, the Peacock Alley lounge, and speakeasy bar Canes & Tales. A four-room 30th-floor spa and a late-night infinity pool round it out. Service is quietly intuitive.

Who's it for

Best for:
Design-literate couples and serious food travellers who want a sky-high urban base with Art Deco glamour reframed through Japanese craft. Also strong for cocktail and sake enthusiasts, and for anyone prioritising room size: even entry categories feel like junior suites, with separate living areas and floor-to-ceiling river views.

Should look elsewhere:
Families wanting a kids' programme, traditionalists hoping for a ryokan-style Japan experience, or anyone wanting a beach or resort setting. The hotel is still working out the small edges that come with a brand-new opening, and culture-focused special experiences are not yet fully launched.

Bottom line

What sets this place apart is the seamlessness of the Andre Fu design and the seriousness of the kitchens, particularly Tsukimi's 36-month-aged Tajima wagyu and its omakase counter. Spend up for one of the 29 corner suites, ideally timed to the summer fireworks festival or cherry blossom season, when the floor-to-ceiling windows pay for themselves. Book Tsukimi before you book the room.
