A new R HOTEL brand property, "R HOTEL Namba East," opens in Osaka's Takatsu district on February 16, 2026.
Operated by R Hotels & Resorts Management Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Bao Yixuan), the hotel is located just past the vibrant streets of Kuromon Market, at the intersection of urban energy and tranquil accommodation.
While situated as an extension of the lively street scene, stepping inside reveals a light, cafe-like atmosphere enveloped in greenery. The hotel aims to serve as "a place to catch your breath in the city" for both international guests visiting Osaka and domestic travelers.
Hotel Concept
R HOTEL Namba East is designed with the concept of "a stay gently connected to the city," respecting the flow and atmosphere unique to the Namba-Takatsu area. While close to tourist and residential areas like Kuromon Market, Nipponbashi, and Namba, the hotel provides a bright, refreshing environment where guests can relax inside.
The lobby and common areas incorporate natural light and greenery, creating a space that feels like dropping into a neighborhood cafe to begin your stay. Rather than just being a travel base, the hotel strives to create stays that become part of your Osaka memories.
Design Concept: "Urban Calm"
The design of R HOTEL Namba East continues the principles valued in previous R HOTEL series properties: simple, minimalist design, functionality suitable for extended stays, and neutral aesthetics that highlight each city's character, while reflecting the distinctive nature of the Takatsu area near Namba.
With textured interiors and calming color tones, the hotel creates a "quiet margin" set back from the bustle outside, offering an urban retreat where guests can recenter themselves between activities.
Guest Rooms
R HOTEL Namba East offers room types suitable for various travel purposes and party sizes. With natural, simple, and functional design, the rooms accommodate sightseeing, business, and workation needs.
All guest rooms emphasize "sleep quality" to properly rest bodies tired from exploring or working. The hotel employs proven Simmons mattresses used throughout the R HOTEL series, ensuring comfort from short stays to extended visits.
Room Types
Deluxe Twin Room: Two semi-double beds (approximately 1380mm width each)
Queen Room: Queen-size bed (approximately 1600mm width)
Twin Room: Two single beds (approximately 950mm width each)
Double Room: Semi-double bed (approximately 1380mm width)
The design accommodates solo travelers, business trips, international guests, and couples.
Takatsu Area Appeal
The hotel surroundings include Kuromon Market, known as "Osaka's kitchen," as well as representative Osaka areas like Nipponbashi and Namba. While gathering spots for shops and restaurants create vibrancy, stepping into side streets reveals traditional streetscapes and quiet moments, adding to the area's charm.
R HOTEL Namba East stands at this boundary, leveraging its location to provide accommodation experiences where guests can enjoy both tourism and daily life, both bustle and tranquility.
Surrounding Area Introduction
Kuromon Market:
Known as "Osaka's kitchen," this spot symbolizes the city's food culture. With fresh seafood, prepared foods, and eat-while-you-walk options, it's popular with international guests.
Namba/Nipponbashi Area:

Message to Domestic and International Guests
R HOTEL Namba East aims to be a base camp for discovering the city for first-time international visitors to Osaka, and a convenient additional base for Japanese guests to stay casually.
Not merely "a hotel for tourists" nor "just a place to sleep," R HOTEL Namba East offers accommodation experiences as an extension of the city. Look forward to your stay.
