Lonely Planet review

The busy Hilton Osaka is synonymous with luxury, style and opulence, and they know how to look after foreign travellers - over 50% of their guests come from overseas. The hotel looks out over JR Osaka Station (and the rest of town), and it's a fantastic base for exploring the city.Across the street from JR Osaka Station, the Hilton is also enviably close to the Kita-shinchi entertainment area where fortunes are made and lost over triple whisky-and-sodas in some of the most expensive and exclusive bars in town. The efficient ebb and flow of guests in the lobby is like clockwork as the competent English-speaking staff check people in or guide them to their next destination. Rooms are clean and light with shoji (paper screens) on the windows instead of curtains. Smoking and nonsmoking rooms are separated by floor. The fitness centre boasts a 15m swimming pool and the business centre is conveniently open 24 hours. The concourse attached to the hotel is a paradise for shoppers with an Armani store and other major brands.
