the memories of Japan’s City of Water. Patina alike connects to water,
the most elemental entity, the flow of life that connects and carries
people and planet.

Patina’s perpetual journey, a seamless flow of energy, is reflected
throughout Patina Osaka’s design concept. It all begins when guests step
foot inside Roots, the signature plant-based restaurant, and are greetedwith an inviting warmth from its earthy hues. Guests will explore what isconscious eating through locally-sourced produce with bold and exciting
flavours – including ingredients from the edible garden and outdoor
nursery.
Heading up to the rooftop (at level 20) where Fusion, the beating heart ofPatina is perched – guests will then check-in. The social spot encourages
interactions between guests and locals alike. It features a cocktail barand listening station run by a DJ and equipped with an extensive vinyl
collection – at Patina, music has the power to spark social bonds, fuel thecollective energy and invite expression.
Following the gravity flow of energy, guests may proceed to the spiralstairs which leads to the hotel’s brasserie and Tea Lounge on the next
storey down. These intimate spaces reveal the layers of nature – allowing
visitors to tune into the environment.
Centred around a memories-of-the-land aesthetic philosophy, the hotel’sinteriors marry a shared love for natural and regional materials with custom
art by local artists and artisans. Inspiration was taken from the history of
Osaka Castle and Mother Earth, where each level is individually designed
to reflect a contemporary take – featuring elements like copper, wood,earth and water.
Each room and suite incorporate a balance between modern and natural
aesthetics, showcasing an uninterrupted view of Osaka Castle. Guests canalso expect versatile spaces within the room that speak to the convergenceof quiet downtime and vibrant activities. Every living area is dynamic,morphing into a fitness ground, a tea appreciation lounge or even a
mediation retreat and playpen with the tatami mat - offering seamless
transitions between work, play, exercise and wellbeing.
