Step back in time at a European-style castle, a honeymoon destination at The Ritz-Carlton, Osaka.

The Ritz-Carlton, Osaka replicates the architecture of Hampton Court Palace in England. Its red brick exterior creates a dramatic contrast against Osaka's modern skyline. Located in the heart of the Umeda business district, it has direct underground access to JR Osaka Station and the Midosuji subway line. Grand Front Osaka is an 8-minute walk away, and Dotonbori/Shinsaibashi is just a 10-minute drive. Design The 10-meter-high lobby features a chandelier made of 3,000 crystal pieces, and the Venetian plaster walls are hand-painted with Rococo scrollwork. The guest room corridors are laid with Axminster carpets, favored by the British royal family, and Edo-era Imari porcelain is displayed in the elevator halls. The most striking feature is the Japanese garden, "Kon-Tei," where a modern glass installation, "Moon Breathing," floats in the center of a dry landscape. Rooms The 293 guest rooms continue the British manor aesthetic. Executive suites feature cherry wood paneling and silk floral wallpaper, and the four-poster beds are adorned with gold embroidery. Bathrooms are fitted with Carrara marble, gold-plated faucets engraved with the Osaka Castle emblem, and Asprey Purple Water Collection amenities. Some rooms have direct access to the "Kuchu-Saryo," where guests can enjoy Moritaen matcha on tatami mats in the morning. Dining At the two-Michelin-starred "La Baie," the chef grills Omi beef fillet over binchotan charcoal, served with French black truffles and Kyoto Kujo green onion sauce. "Hanagatami" offers kaiseki cuisine, with the spring-limited "Sakuradai Usuzukuri" (thinly sliced cherry sea bream) paired with Nanko-ume salt from Kishu. All tableware is handcrafted by Osaka ceramic artists. The sushi bar offers tuna belly and botan shrimp delivered directly from Sakai fishing port. Amenities The spa is known for its "Tea Ceremony Therapy," featuring hinoki cypress baths infused with Uji matcha powder and massages with tea whisk-generated foam. Noh theater workshops are held every Wednesday and Saturday, where professional actors provide guidance on wearing Noh masks and using folding fans.
