The guest rooms at the hotel are designed with two primary themes: River Blue, representing the “water city” of Osaka, and Umekita Green, symbolizing the greenery of GRAND GREEN OSAKA. The canopy incorporates motifs inspired by Toyotomi Hideyoshi's horse insignia, Sennari Byotan (gourds) and the metasequoia tree found in UMEKITA PARK. Room types range from 32-square-meter standard rooms to 63-square-meter corner suites, two types of suites at 95 and 127 square meters, and pet-friendly rooms where guests can stay with their beloved dogs.

All rooms feature a mini-bar space designed to resemble a retro refrigerator, creating a playful atmosphere. The design and decor, such as the inclusion of Fukusuke dolls (a traditional Japanese lucky charm originating in Kansai), invite guests to feel the history and industrial growth of Osaka.

The all-day dining restaurant CC:CARBON COPY offers a culinary journey with playful international cuisine crafted by the chefs, beautifully presented on Japanese small plates. Breakfast is served buffet-style, while lunch and dinner are available à la carte or as set menus.

At the bar & lounge !JaJa!Bar, which has an outdoor terrace offering views of the city, simple yet high-quality Osaka local foods and original cocktails are served. A smart ball game machine, popular in Osaka’s downtown, is placed, providing a fresh take on Osaka's culture. This space aims to be a gathering spot where people meet, and new ideas are born.

On the first floor, facing UMEKITA PARK, the café Bean there, UMEDA serves coffee brewed from special Osaka roasts, along with sandwiches. Both indoor seating and a pet-friendly terrace are available, and takeout is also an option.

Furthermore, at !JaJa!Bar, a Golden Hour is held daily from 4:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., during which Hilton Honors members with Gold and Diamond status can enjoy special drinks and canapés made with local ingredients.

The hotel also offers three meeting facilities: a Hiroma (Ballroom) with a capacity of up to 100 guests, a Meeting Studio, and a Boardroom, equipped with the latest meeting interfaces, conference cameras, and sound systems. The Pre-function Room, which spans two floors, provides an airy, creative environment for meetings.
