Japan is one of the world's hottest travel destinations - just look at any list - and, according to the 2023 Global Liveability Index, Osaka is the most liveable city in the country. No wonder it's on many visitors' radar. And if you're one of them, here's one more thing to add to your wish list: the brand new Four Seasons Hotel Osaka, set to open in August.

Located in the city's Dojima district, with easy access to shopping, business and entertainment precincts (including Universal Studios), the high-rise property features 174 rooms, spread between the 28th and the 35th floors. But it's the 21 rooms on the 28th floor where the true magic awaits. Featuring tatami-mat flooring, sliding doors and platform beds, these rooms nod to the Japanese inns dating back to the eighth century, offering a modern interpretation of the timeless ryokan culture. Six outstanding onsite eateries - from Cantonese restaurant Jiang Nan Chun to Japanese fine-diner Sushi O - make the hotel even more desirable. fourseasons.com
