IHG reveals Osaka Namba
InterContinental Hotels Group has announced the opening of Holiday Inn Osaka Namba, the fifth Holiday Inn hotel in Japan.
The 314-guestroom Holiday Inn Osaka Namba is located in the heart of Osaka, just steps away from Dotonbori Street where travellers can enjoy local restaurants and a range of entertainment activities, nightlife and shopping along the Dotonbori River.
Holiday Inn Namba is a 40-minute train, car or bus ride from Kansai International Airport, and guests can easily travel to Osaka’s major attractions including the Osaka Castle, Universal Studios Japan, and the Tenhouzann Aquarium, from the Namba train station nearby.
Hans Heijligers, Head of Japan, IHG, comments: “We are delighted to strengthen our brand portfolio in one of Japan’s major cities, Osaka and the opening of Holiday Inn Osaka Namba will bring more choice for our valued guests and over 99 million IHG Rewards Club members all over the world. With a tourism boom in Japan, and especially in Osaka, over the last few years, we have also seen a shift in the travelling patterns of international travellers who are now more interested in local experiences than just visiting world famous places or shopping. Travellers can find a variety of local experiences, such as sampling local delicacies and exploring the back streets that are unique to Japan, right here in Osaka.”
