#Emotional Cafe Peacock Alley Cafe, located on the 29th floor of the new hotel Waldorf Astoria Osaka, has a wide open view of Umeki Koen. I am grateful to be seated in the center seat by the window. I heard the explanation of the reduced price while looking at the menu, so I order an additional glass of champagne. For afternoon tea, two champagnes from the Louis Vuitton Hennessy Group are available as additional options at a 20% discount from the regular price. Vintage Moet & Chandon and Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame are optional champagnes for afternoon tea. I choose Moet & Chandon, which is a bit cheaper. For black tea, there are Peacock Original Brand Tea and Smith Tea loose-leaf tea. The coffee is also original brand beans. The friendly server explained everything well, so we started comfortably. The champagne was brought in a magnum and poured for us. When studying champagne, I came across wine knowledge that a 1500ml bottle, which is twice the size of a regular 750ml, is called a magnum. It is said that it is aged in a large bottle to create a softer and deeper flavor. The price is also the same, so a magnum bottle is sold for 1.5 times more than two 750ml bottles, even though the amount is the same. Here, I wondered why three 500s were more expensive than 1.5 liters of cola. The afternoon tea consists of three savory varieties, two scones, and seven sweets. Only the sweets are served on a three-tiered tray, and the three savory varieties are plated on each dish first. A scone plate is also added. The savory sandwiches are presented in four finger food sizes to add depth. The savory ingredients are also filled with plenty of caviar, and are filled with the world's top three delicacies, including foie gras and truffles. The lobster mini burger, which is made with a whole lobster, also shows off its grandeur by covering it with caviar. The four sandwiches made with rare ingredients from all over Japan each have their own perfect narrative and story, making them interesting. The server in charge even tells you the origin of the ingredients, how to eat them, and the order, so you just have to sit back, open your mouth, and enjoy the pleasure of gastronomy. The two scones are also perfect. Homemade strawberry jam and clotted cream are added, making it the number one in Osaka. The clotted cream is additionally added, so you can enjoy it generously and have a fantastic and enjoyable serenade in your mouth. Not satisfied with this, the seven types of sweets each leave a strong impression. From the red velvet cheesecake that you told me is the signature of Waldorf Peacock Alley to the eclairs, canelé-shaped mousse cakes, tarts, opera, mango mousse, and yellow hidden strawberries, the cleanup trio is enjoyable without any trouble. The staff is not visible from the path and is not focused on care, so the drink order is slow and it takes 5 to 10 minutes for the ordered drink to come out, which is probably because it is only the 3rd week of opening. Nevertheless, I am very satisfied. Thank you. #JapanTravel #OsakaTravel #OsakaRestaurants #OsakaCafe #Osaka #AfternoonTea

Andre Fu | The first Waldorf Astoria hotel in Japan, Waldorf Astoria Osaka, grandly opened on April 3, coinciding with the Osaka-Kansai Expo and cherry blossom season. The hotel, five years in the making, marks the brand's debut in Japan. Designed by renowned designer Andre Fu, the hotel reinterprets the refined geometric forms of Art Deco through a uniquely Japanese lens. The creative inspiration stems from the Yodoko Guest House in Osaka, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1918—an Art Deco project blending layered symmetry, rhythmic patterns, and exquisite craftsmanship. As a signature venue of the Waldorf brand, Peacock Alley has long been a gathering place for social elites, frequented by legendary stars like Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe, and Elizabeth Taylor. The Peacock Alley Lounge at Waldorf Astoria Osaka continues this tradition, combining the grandeur of the New York flagship with distinctive Japanese elegance.

Finally got to experience the legendary Waldorf Astoria Osaka✨ As Hilton's top luxury brand, it made waves when it opened in 2025. Designer Fumihiko Maki seamlessly blended Art Deco geometric aesthetics with Japanese Zen garden elements, creating a sophisticated fusion of East and West! 📍The location is unbeatable!

Whether you're shopping for cosmetics, luxury goods, or indulging in gourmet food, everything is conveniently within reach—shopaholics rejoice🥳 It's just a 3-minute walk to JR and subway stations, and only 50 minutes by JR express from Kansai Airport. I opted for the airport transfer service, and the driver’s skills were impeccable! 🏨The room features floor-to-ceiling windows with breathtaking views! During the day, you can overlook the bustling cityscape, and at night, enjoy the stunning Osaka Bay night view🌃 The in-room check-in service was incredibly thoughtful, with staff introducing the facilities and offering welcome drinks—every detail was perfect.

Finally checked in for lunch at the Waldorf Astoria Osaka✨ The hotel opened in April this year, and it is very convenient next to Umeda Station🚶♀️ The restaurant environment is simply full of luxury, brand new and exquisite, and eating is like attending an aristocratic party~ Chosen the ¥5800 lunch set🍽️ Appetizer + double bread + main course + dessert, and you can choose coffee or tea at the end☕️ The dishes are exquisite, the presentation is pleasing to the eye, and the taste is also online! Especially the dessert part, it is dense and delicate, and it completely hits the sweet stomach~ I wanted to make an appointment for weekend afternoon tea and afternoon tea with my girlfriends to chill, but it was sold out in seconds! It seems that the Waldorf afternoon tea is very popular🔥 But the lunch experience is also super good. If you want to experience the food of a star hotel in a low-key way, you can go for the lunch set~ The location is near Umeda Station. After shopping, you can have a fine lunch on the way, and the sense of happiness is directly full💫 The difficulty of booking is lower than afternoon tea, and the cost performance is super high! If you want to experience the delicious food of a star hotel in Osaka, don't miss this one~ #大坂美食攻略

These photos from the Waldorf Astoria Osaka have completely won me over! The afternoon tea at this hotel is the epitome of "luxury experience"✨. The space design perfectly captures a retro vibe—wooden latticework, warm lighting, and artistic paintings. Sitting here feels like stepping into an old-world aristocratic salon, with the ambiance dialed up to the max💫. Although it's marketed as afternoon tea, it feels more like an "immersive luxury experience"! Imagine sipping fine tea🍵 and savoring exquisite sweet and savory treats in such a lavish setting. The elegant decor of the hall surrounds you, and even the air seems to carry a touch of sophistication. And the price? 10,000 yen per person (around 500+ RMB). For afternoon tea at a five-star hotel, it's quite reasonable, especially considering the environment and overall experience. If you're traveling to Osaka and want to treat yourself or snap some stunning photos for social media, this is the place to go📸.

Shitennoji Temple is one of Japan's oldest Buddhist temples, standing resilient through a millennium of history while retaining its solemn and sacred aura. Stepping inside, I felt transported back in time, away from the city's hustle and bustle. The ancient architecture and tranquil courtyards exuded a timeless charm. Every statue and inscription seemed to quietly narrate a profound history, prompting deep reflection. Standing within the temple grounds, it felt as though all worries were carried away by the wind, leaving my soul profoundly cleansed. Afterward, I visited the Waldorf Astoria Osaka. This hotel seamlessly blends ancient and modern elements in its design. From the opulent entrance lobby to the meticulously crafted guest rooms, every corner exudes an air of sophistication. Both the decor and service are impeccable. The luxurious amenities and the interplay between the serene interiors and the vibrant cityscape outside provided a perfect transition from the historical ambiance of Shitennoji Temple to the indulgence of modern luxury.

For those who love hotels, there is one more reason to come to Osaka Luxury is not just about appearance, it is also a lifestyle attitude. Waldorf Astoria Osaka is worth experiencing in person.

Japan's first world-class luxury hotel brand, Waldorf Astoria, opened in April. Located on the upper floors of the south tower of Grand Green Osaka, a landmark complex in Umeda, Osaka, the hotel is officially open for business. This marks not only Waldorf Astoria's debut in Japan, but also Hilton's fifth hotel project in Osaka City. The brand-new Waldorf Astoria Osaka occupies the 28th to 38th floors of the south tower of Grand Green Osaka, offering a total of 252 guest rooms and suites, with room sizes starting from 46 square meters. The hotel's overall design, led by renowned architect and interior designer Andre Fu, continues the brand's signature Art Deco style, incorporating elements of oriental charm to create a modern yet tranquil ambiance. The hotel's high-rise location offers stunning views of Osaka Bay and the cityscape, providing a quiet and private retreat in the heart of the city. In addition, the hotel features an infinity pool, a spa, a library, and a 24-hour fitness center, offering guests a multi-faceted urban retreat experience.

Recently, Osaka welcomed a brand-new Waldorf Astoria, and I couldn't resist experiencing it firsthand. Upon arrival, staff greeted me and escorted me directly to my room, where the check-in process was completed seamlessly and elegantly. The entire experience was truly "smooth and seamless." The hotel lobby is located on the 29th floor, featuring floor-to-ceiling glass windows that are absolutely stunning. The view from the bar to the rooms is like a painting of the city, and I couldn't help but feel a bit excited during my first visit. To return to the rooms, you need to switch elevators on the 29th floor. The staff presence is overwhelming, almost like a concert crowd, with many employees sent from other locations to assist, including several foreign faces. The service quality is exceptional—before you even reach the elevator, someone is already pressing the button for you, and as the doors close, they bow to you. Having stayed in Japan for a week, I already thought the service was top-notch, but this hotel takes it to another level. Ari, the staff member who escorted me to my room, remembered my name and greeted me every time we crossed paths. She even helped us take photos and handed me a tray during breakfast. Later, I learned she was sent from Tokyo to assist with training. Perhaps because it's still the opening period, some rooms haven't been released yet, so it feels like there are more staff than guests. I wonder if they can maintain this high level of service once the hotel gets busier. Despite being newly opened, the hotel has no trace of construction smells and feels incredibly comfortable. There seems to be some opening events, creating a lively atmosphere, and I couldn't help but imagine bumping into a celebrity. Most guests are Japanese, and I haven't seen any Chinese-speaking tourists yet. Although I'm a Diamond member of the group, the benefits are fairly standard: complimentary breakfast, a one-level room upgrade, and two drink vouchers. The bedding is by Frette, soft and comfortable, though the mattress is slightly firm. Amenities are from Aesop. The hotel is conveniently located in Umeda, making shopping and dining easily accessible. There's even a Gundam exhibition nearby, which seems quite popular judging by the long lines, though I didn't have time to check it out. The roads in Umeda are incredibly complex—it's hard to describe, and I was completely lost navigating them, unable to figure out which paths I had taken.
