As part of JP Tower Osaka, JR West Hotels is proud to present THE OSAKA STATION HOTEL, Autograph Collection.
The origins of THE OSAKA STATION HOTEL dates back to the year 1874, when Japan was in the rush towards modernizing.
Osaka Station, which was built of red bricks, was a symbol of new age and a landmark that connected both visitors and the community over time.
While there were plans to add a full-fledged hotel to the station, the plan was never fulfilled. |

In light of this historical significance, we have named our hotel "THE OSAKA STATION HOTEL", exemplifying our desire to honor the memories of the railway and the aspirations of those who
came before us, and continue the pursuit of what an ideal hotel should be.
The hotel is planned to be a terminal for travelers who want to start a new story; connecting travelers and the city, and to be a hotel with a unique narrative in every space.
The brand concept of "THE OSAKA TIME" connects these unique lines of time and space. |
