Millennials traveling to Osaka now have a new lifestyle hotel by Royal Park Hotels and Resorts Co

Royal Park Hotels and Resorts Co Ltd has opened the third hotel of its “CANVAS” line, The Royal Park Canvas Osaka Kitahama.

The relatively new “CANVAS” line has been designed to specifically attract travelers of the millennial generation (born 1981 - 1996) considered to have a different approach to traveling by putting travel experience first. The name “CANVAS” corresponds to guests’ ability to create their own experience utilizing spaces and services offered by the hotel to match their own personal style and interests, similar to painting their own picture on a canvas.

In 2018 five hotels of Royal Park Hotels and Resorts Co Ltd, part of the Mitsubishi Estate Co Ltd, received the Tripadvisor Certificate of Excellence demonstrating that the group is in touch with their customers’ needs.

The hotel’s key objective is to create individual travel experiences based on the following three concepts. “Connect travelers and Locals” enables travelers who like to go beyond visiting famous sightseeing spots and restaurants and also experience the town's daily life through collaborative events with local companies and organizations. “CANVAS Stretch” aims to counteract travel-related tiredness and provide an energy boost with original content created and taught by World Yoga Champion, Yukari Miwa, via interactive TV in rooms and AR (augmented reality) app for smartphones. Finally the interior design concept "TRANSFORMED CLASSIC" expresses hospitality combined with photogenic and modern room designs.

Being one hour from popular destinations such as Kyoto, Nara and Kobe, Osaka is not only a popular destination in itself, but also a great travelers’ hub. According to the Osaka Convention & Tourism Bureau the number of foreign tourists tripled between 2014 and 2017 to 11.11 million people with a particularly high share of Chinese, Korean and Taiwanese. The strong growth in tourism numbers created an obvious need for more hotel space, also with view to the 2025 Expo hosted in Osaka.

“Our hotel connects with travelers’ need for their own individual travel experience all the way from the choice of our location in the trendy Kitahama district, with its mix of historical sites and trendsetting cafés along the river, to our customizable service offering for our guests”, said Kazuhiro Shibasaki, General Manager, The Royal Park Canvas Osaka Kitahama. “The buzzing environment of our location is perfectly aligned with our key concepts.”
