Hotel New Otani Osaka is presenting two stay plans tailored to three-generation family trips during the Obon holidays, together with a lineup of premium Obon-only activities — including festival-style games and a chef experience — for the whole family to enjoy.
A Stress-Free "Three-Generation Urban Resort," Free from the Congestion of Long-Distance Travel
For the Obon holidays, when extended families often gather for the first time in a while, the hotel proposes a three-generation resort stay where every generation can relax together and enjoy a touch of luxurious coolness. About 20 minutes by car from Shin-Osaka Station and just a 3-minute walk from the nearest station, the hotel offers a stress-free stay in the heart of the city. Marking its 40th anniversary this year, its hospitality aims to deepen family bonds during a memorable start to summer.
Two Special Stay Spaces to Choose From
1. Executive Heritage Suite (110 sqm)
Opening the door reveals a luxurious living space, with a panoramic view of Osaka Castle framed by large windows from a private vantage point where families can spend a warm, indulgent time together. As part of the renewal commemorative plan, guests receive a ¥5,000 meal coupon per person, redeemable at the hotel's restaurants, bar, and room service. Breakfast can be chosen from a buffet focused on both flavor and health, or from room service, making the plan well suited to three-generation travelers who want to choose the stay style that fits them best.
2. Deluxe Connecting Room "Rikyu" (90 sqm)
Ideal for deepening bonds across three generations, this multi-person connecting room comes with its own hinoki (Japanese cypress) bath. Themed "Rikyu Chic," a modern take on the wabi-sabi aesthetic championed by tea master Sen no Rikyu, who has ties to Osaka Castle, the room incorporates elements of a tea room and sukiya-style architecture, with soft natural light filtering through shoji screens to gently wrap around family gatherings. The bathroom also features a fragrant hinoki bath, letting guests experience Japan's celebrated bathing culture. The room's spacious universal design allows smooth movement for wheelchairs and strollers alike, creating an inclusive space where everyone can relax without stress.
Obon-Only Activities for Kids to Seniors Alike
The hotel has also prepared a range of experience-based activities to enrich the stay, including a patisserie experience and a chef experience for children, a summer-festival-style "Ennichi" game corner, and guest-exclusive offerings such as a morning yoga lesson and a yukata experience — creating rich summer memories for adults and children alike.
