Comment

“When creating the design for this hotel, I wanted to express the unique character of Osaka while still emphasizing the comfort that Waldorf Astoria offers all around the world. I hope that Waldorf Astoria Osaka will be a place where guests can experience something out of the ordinary, a place where they can feel at home in their own secret space. I hope it will make a great first impression of Osaka, and I hope it will become a landmark that will lead guests to their next travel experience.”

Comment

“When coming up with the Canopy's unique concept of ‘a hotel that reflects the land,’ we asked ourselves this question: ‘What is it that makes Osaka unique?’ We realized it was Osaka's sense of humor, and so we made sure to incorporate that into the design of this space. The keyword for the design is ‘Hack Osaka.’ This refers to rewriting existing systems by breaking stereotypes and mixing new ideas. We want to show a new side of Osaka by hacking into the locality and culture of Osaka with a sense of humor through the filter of the Canopy hotel.”
