Set to open in 2025, Patina Osaka is the first urban property of Patina Hotels & Resorts, an elevated lifestyle brand by Capella Hotel Group.

The approximately-220-room hotel is located opposite Osaka Castle, one of Japan’s most prominent historic sites, and next to the noteworthy Naniwanomiya-Ato Park.

Built in homage to Osaka’s effortless beauty and vibrancy, the modern 20-storey building is a collaboration between two award-winning Japanese architects and designers: Jun Mitsui & Associates for exterior and Strickland for the interiors. They have woven together a narrative rich in sense of place, while creating an urban sanctuary that inspires shared consciousness between humans.

Patina’s perpetual journey, a seamless flow of energy, is reflected throughout Patina Osaka’s design concept. It all begins when guests step foot inside Roots, the signature plant-based restaurant, and are greeted with an inviting warmth from its earthy hues. Guests will explore what is conscious eating through locally-sourced produce with bold and exciting flavours – including ingredients from the edible garden and outdoor nursery.

Heading up to the rooftop (at level 20) where Fusion, the beating heart of Patina is perched – guests will then check-in. The social spot encourages interactions between guests and locals alike. It features a cocktail bar and listening station run by a DJ and equipped with an extensive vinyl collection – at Patina, music has the power to spark social bonds, fuel the collective energy and invite expression.

Following the gravity flow of energy, guests may proceed to the spiral stairs which leads to the hotel’s brasserie and Tea Lounge on the next storey down. These intimate spaces reveal the layers of nature – allowing visitors to tune into the environment. 

Centred around a memories-of-the-land aesthetic philosophy, the hotel’s interiors marry a shared love for natural and regional materials with custom art by local artists and artisans. Inspiration was taken from the history of Osaka Castle and Mother Earth, where each level is individually designed to reflect a contemporary take – featuring elements like copper, wood, earth and water.

Each room and suite incorporate a balance between modern and natural aesthetics, showcasing an uninterrupted view of Osaka Castle. Guests can also expect versatile spaces within the room that speak to the convergence of quiet downtime and vibrant activities. Every living area is dynamic, morphing into a fitness ground, a tea appreciation lounge or even a mediation retreat and playpen with the tatami mat - offering seamless transitions between work, play, exercise and wellbeing.

Developed by NTT Urban Development Corporation, a comprehensive real estate company within the NTT Group, Patina Osaka brings desired, unexpected, sophisticated and fresh experiences together.
