Imperial Hotel Osaka|Old Money Style
The reason I chose to book the Imperial Hotel Osaka was actually because I inadvertently thought of the movie 'Masquerade Hotel' starring Takuya Kimura and Masami Nagasawa. Although it wasn't filmed here, the hotel's old-fashioned style really attracted me. This time it was a personal trip, and I decided to try booking a luxury hotel. It wasn't very expensive, and the price was reasonable when booked a month in advance, so I booked two nights.
After taking the bus from the airport to Osaka Station, the hotel provides a free shuttle service. We managed to catch the last shuttle at 21:40. The shuttle was maroon, and I also saw other hotel shuttles in dark green and navy blue, all very tasteful. The driver prepared a small stool for stepping up, and the details were very meticulous.
When I checked in, I found out that my birthday was the next day, and the hotel upgraded my room and even gave me some snacks. Honestly, I was shocked when I entered the room; it was so large and luxurious, completely unlike any Japanese hotel I've stayed in before. The room had a panoramic view, two bathrooms, and a dressing room right at the entrance, making it very spacious. The vanity next to the main bathroom had a beautiful view outside the window. The south-facing room let in sunlight when the electric curtains were opened, and the soundproofing was excellent, making the room very quiet and comfortable.
Every day, six pieces of Imperial Hotel chocolate were delivered to the room, and newspapers were delivered to the door in the morning. These little details were very thoughtful. Every time I entered or exited the hotel, I passed through the luxurious lobby, and I especially liked the spherical rose arrangement. The other facilities and services were impeccable. Lastly, I must mention that the hotel's toiletries were made of wood or wood-like materials, which were very comfortable to use. If you liked them, the hotel would provide them for free every day.
In summary, the Imperial Hotel Osaka was an unforgettable stay. The service, facilities, and details were all top-notch. I will definitely come back!
