Experience of the stay
I stayed at "Hotel Intergate Osaka Umeda" during my trip to Osaka for the Expo, and it was truly amazing, so I’d like to introduce it. 🏨
【Excellent Access Location】
The location is outstanding! It’s directly connected to an underground passage, so you’re not affected by the weather, which is a huge advantage!
First, the location about a 5-minute walk from JR "Osaka Station" is splendid. 👍 Plus, since you can travel through the underground shopping area right up to the hotel, it’s really helpful to move without stress during hot summer days or rainy days. This is especially appreciated when you have a lot of luggage for business trips.
【The Ultimate Lounge Service Available by Default!”】
You can work and drink! It was the ultimate lounge service! ☕️💻
The biggest charm of this hotel is undoubtedly the exclusive lounge for guests. From 10:30 AM to 8:00 PM, coffee and juice are available anytime.
What’s wonderful is that it’s also a perfect co-working space.
There are numerous powered seats, especially at the counter seats by the window. 🔌 The Wi-Fi is comfortable, allowing you to concentrate and complete any urgent work or tasks. This can be said to be the best environment for those utilizing workation or business trips.
Furthermore, the services provided at different times are fantastic.
• Afternoon Service (3:00 PM - 8:00 PM) 🍰
Perfect for a break after check-in. You can enjoy baked goods and sweets with your coffee.
• Happy Hour (5:00 PM - 7:00 PM) 🍻
In the evening, wine and cocktails are available for free-flowing consumption. It’s hard to believe this is free, and it’s simply delightful after finishing work.
• Late Night Snack (8:00 PM - 10:00 PM) 🍚
Ending with a delightful ochazuke buffet. The gentle flavor soothes your body after a drink and leaves you feeling wonderful.
To put it mildly, the cost performance is ridiculously good.
【A large public bath on the top floor ♨️ with a sauna and a cold bath, it’s the perfect relaxer🧖】
It also comes with a full-fledged sauna! I was thoroughly satisfied with the large bath! ♨️
The large bath on the top floor is one reason why I highly rate this hotel. Notably, the sauna was surprisingly authentic. 🔥
With a high-temperature setting close to 100°C, it's spacious enough for about 10 people. It's really hot. BGM plays in the background, creating a great space for quiet focus.
The cold bath reaches about 15°C, making it significantly refreshing and comfortable for 2 or 3 people.
The only downside is there are no relaxation chairs, but that wasn't an issue as I could sit at the bath's edge. More importantly, having a free massage chair in the changing room was a delightful perk! 😭 Being able to relax my body after the sauna was truly paradise. The availability of skin lotion and emulsion meant I could go hands-free.
The room was comfortable, and I slept soundly!
The room was clean, and the Simmons bed was comfortable, allowing me to sleep deeply until the next morning. No complaints whatsoever.
【Overall Evaluation】
"Hotel Intergate Osaka Umeda" was a fantastic hotel that combines convenience in location with everything from lounge work to a sauna available within the premises. In particular, the lounge's convenience and the sauna's quality are worth mentioning.
I am definitely going back! 💯
Experiences during the trip
I visited the much-talked-about Osaka Expo! While many pavilions were attractive, what struck me the most was the nighttime experience at the Big Roof Ring! 🌙✨ In the evening, as more people start to gather at the Big Roof Ring, taking the elevator to the top reveals a fantastical view of the illuminated Expo venue below. The lights of each pavilion intertwine in intricate patterns, presenting a completely different expression compared to during the day! 🌃 It was breathtakingly beautiful.
And then came the drone show that painted the night sky! 🛸💫 Countless points of light morph along with the music, telling a story. The Expo logo and images of a futuristic city dynamically appeared and disappeared in the night sky, leaving me in awe! 🤩 The excitement of the venue combined with the high-quality light show from the drones gave me goosebumps.
To enjoy both the stunning night view and the drone show in such a special location at the Big Roof Ring was truly a luxurious experience. If you visit the Expo, be sure to climb to the Big Roof Ring at night! It will surely become an unforgettable memory! 😊
