This was another a hotel in Osaka which I’ve always been curious about since its opening in July 2024, especially because they do not offer lounge access to even Titaniums (ie only for Ambassadors).

I’ve been kind of intrigued by this property ever since it first opened as a Six Senses. Even after it became an Autograph Collection, I’ve never actually though about staycay-ing here until this year. Time to try my first Autograph Collection being a Titanium!
