Patina Osaka

Capella gained widespread attention when its Bangkok property was named the world’s best hotel in 2024. Earlier this year, the group opened the first urban hotel of its sister brand Patina in Osaka. Located just a minute's walk from the city’s most treasured landmark – Osaka Castle – Patina feels like an entirely different proposition. Where Capella leans into contemporary luxury, Patina embraces a more understated, quiet luxury.

Patina Osaka is designed around the concept of wellness. Its 221 elegantly appointed rooms and suites – some offering unobstructed views of Osaka Castle – feature natural materials such as wood, stone and washi paper to create a calming, grounding atmosphere. Beyond the typical hotel amenities of a fitness centre and indoor pool, the entire fourth floor is dedicated to Patina Wellness, a sanctuary in the heart of the city offering health-tech treatments including hyperbaric oxygen and hydrogen therapy, cryotherapy, a far-infrared sauna and full-body LED therapy.

Art, design and music are also central to the hotel’s holistic approach, with local and international creatives contributing to some of its signature experiences. Osaka-born graphic artist Verdy has been tapped to design a range of exclusive merchandise, while American sound designer Devon Turnbull (Ojas) created the hotel’s Listening Room, a luxurious reimagining of Japan’s listening bar culture. 

Rounding out Patina Osaka’s offerings is the hotel’s main restaurant, P72, whose menu is informed by Japan’s traditional calendar of 72 micro-seasons, showcasing the best local and seasonal produce.
