"Occupying the 33rd to 40th floors of the Festival Tower West skyscraper, the silver and walnut interiors of the 164-room Conrad Osaka offer a stylish sanctuary amid Osaka’s never-ending bustle. Hilton’s service-forward premium brand stands over the city’s bustling Nakanoshima neighborhood and is home to a collection of 389 contemporary works of art. Sprawling rooms feature cherry-red lacquer wall flourishes, while the sobagara pillows, traditional Japanese buckwheat husk pillows, add some traditional flair. Don’t miss a trip to the spa, where the wellness menu includes such treatments as baths infused with sake and yuzu." - Keith Flanagan, Sanjay Surana, Jennifer Flowers, Adam H. Graham
