    OSAKA has all the trappings for visitors wanting to soak in the laidback vibe, food and family fun at Universal Studios. But when it’s sky-high sophistication you want, Conrad Osaka has it in spades.

    Towering above the city centre from the 33rd to 40th floors of the Nakanoshima Festival West Tower, you’re face to face with the city skyline every which way you turn. And the view is stunning, especially in the light of the setting sun, casting a golden glow over the sea of skyscrapers below you.

    It isn’t just the view outside that grabs you. An extensive collection of contemporary artwork by Japanese and international artists makes the Conrad a virtual living museum, as vivid pieces both bold and contemplative fuse seamlessly with the hotel’s modern decor.
