Experience of the stay
The Centara Grand Hotel, accessible through the underground shopping area from Namba Station, is the first branch of the Thailand-based Centara Hotels in Japan. It features five restaurants specializing in Thai cuisine, crab buffets, smoked dishes, steak, and whiskey. The hotel staff provides attentive service, and all meals were delicious and satisfying.
The room itself was new, simply designed, and clean, providing a quiet space where you could see Tsutenkaku and Abeno Harukas from the room.
Since there are no buildings around, the night views were stunning. In winter, there are illuminations at the adjacent Namba Parks, adding to the shopping experience.
Experiences during the trip
On the second floor at Swan Phua, you can enjoy Thai dance performances while eating Thai cuisine, inspired by the Thai festival "Loi Krathong," which takes place on the full moon in November. You can enjoy drinks and desserts sourced directly from Thailand.
It was authentic and incredibly delicious. (The second floor usually operates separate Thai and seafood restaurants.)
At the spa, Senbary on the fourth floor, you can experience authentic massages using healing bowls and skilled hands from Thai therapists in a soothing environment. The rice bran oil, sourced from Thailand, can be chosen from four types, providing a relaxing experience for all five senses.
At the 32nd-floor Whiskey Nova, you can also enjoy steak lunches. It was fun to change the taste of the steak with four different sauces and seasonings.
*On the days of stay, there was a 25% discount for guests dining at the restaurant.
