Oriental Suites Airport Osaka Rinku

Who doesn't love the feeling of fresh hotel sheets, clean carpets, and cushy-soft mattresses?

And we already know the ideal location makes it great for travelers of all kinds. If you're preparing for an early flight or arriving on a late one, traveling with a gaggle of young kids, or just have an armful of bags and suitcases, being just a single train station away from Kansai International Airport (and in a building attached to that train station complex) means it's totally accessible. For shopaholics looking to add a little extra to their luggage, the convenient location of Rinku Premium Outlets, with a mix of Japanese and international brands, is also a clear plus.

What Makes this Oriental Suites a Great Place to Stay

The Location

From the hotel to the airport in one 5-minute train ride, you really can't beat this location.
Whether you're on the Nankai Line or taking JR, Oriental Suites Airport Osaka Rinku is just a stop away from the airport.

The Panoramic Bay Views

The hotel is inside a huge 56-story high-rise building right on Osaka Bay, with rooms as high as the 26th floor, which means some great views of the outskirts of Osaka in one direction, and even more romantic bay views in the other.
At night, the train tracks over the bay and the scenic nearby ferris wheel light up, setting the area aglow.

The Japanese Touches

If you're thinking the convenience of Oriental Suites Airport Osaka Rinku is so impressive that you don't need any more convincing, you'll be happy to find that they didn't take any shortcuts anyway - the hotel's interiors still offer plenty of Japanese charm. Walk into the lobby, and you'll see that the walls are lined with elegant wooden fixtures, based off of traditional "tategoshi" (縦格子) lattice.
In addition, Japanese ukiyo-e art accents the walls.
While made in a traditional style, these gorgeously colorful ukiyo-e style paintings were actually done specially for the hotel by artist Yoshio Okada. The vibrant art at the front desk makes for a great view to start, or finish off, your trip to Japan.

The Rooms & Facilities

No matter which room you stay in, every one has fluffy Simmons mattresses, making for a good night's sleep. There are plenty of options to choose from when it comes to the rooms' other qualities, though. Double rooms come in standard and deluxe types.
Twins come in standard, superior, and deluxe versions, and with a little luck you'll find yourself in a corner room. Get an eye full of that spectacular night view!

If you need to get a little work done, or you just want to plop down on the couch and take a load off, the rooms have desks and sofas to help you do just that.
Don't worry about dragging huge bottles of toiletries with you; these bathrooms have all the amenities you need.

The Residence Type Suite

Perfect for families, or couples who want a romantic getaway, the apartment-style suite at Oriental Suites Airport Osaka Rinku is like a luxury residence we wouldn't mind living in every day. With a kitchen, including a full-size refrigerator, you can go shopping at the nearby supermarket and cook dinner right in the suite. You can't complain about dinner with a view!
The main bed is extra wide, so stretch out and relax! Watch some Japanese TV in bed, or just check out your favorite youtubers.

While the sofa can be folded out to create a second, totally separate sleeping area, during waking hours it makes for a cozy place to gather and relax.

Although, when the view from the bathtub is this good, you might just forget the sofa even exists, and spend hours soaking away!

Convenient Facilities

Slip over to the 21st floor for some handy drink and ice machines (have you tried some of Japan's more intriguing vending machine options yet?), and a little laundromat. If you've got a favorite pair of pants and you want them nice and clean for a long flight home, they've got you covered.

Breakfast

Toast and pastries, warm potatoes, sausage, eggs, and veggies, plus some salad and the all-important morning beverages (juice, coffee, tea), the hotel offers a breakfast sure to please most. As an intriguing addition, however, they also offer what they call "soup with rice", a dish based on traditional Japanese cuisine. Take some puffed rice, pour on your soup of choice (they've got some interesting options), and add traditional Japanese toppings like seaweed and pickles for a little breakfast adventure!

Rinku Premium Outlets

If you enjoy a little shopping now and then, you won't want to miss this Japanese outlet mall, just 10 minutes from the hotel. Walk right over to check out some satisfying deals on a collection of brands both Japanese and international.
