Sakishima Cosmo Tower Hotel

On Osaka Bay in Suminoe, this landmark Cosmo Tower hotel sits steps from the waterfront and has direct access from the station. It’s about 10 km from central Osaka and close to major draws like Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan, Universal Studios Japan, Intex Osaka and the Osaka Prefectural Government Sakishima Building.

Set inside a monumental skyscraper with a ‘Spirit of Osaka’ vibe, rooms are built for the view — many showcase sweeping bay and prize-winning night panoramas.
