Amusement Parks and Pampering at Hotel Universal Port

Crazy Fun in Konohana

Hotel Universal Port is in the Konohana area of Osaka, which is a happening spot for families. It's close to the bay, so the ability to stay near the water is a big boon. Guests are perfectly spoiled for choice when it comes to picking a room. Standard rooms come in twin or king sizes. The superior rooms are bigger, and the superior corner rooms face Universal Studios Japan. Deluxe rooms can easily hold up to four guests. The family room includes toys and accessories for the kids. For large spaces, the premium rooms are opulent and feature private terraces.

The variety of amenities make the place feel like home. In addition to the traditional toiletries, for example, the hotel offers brushes, razors, face washes and cleansers, and shower caps. Pajamas and slippers are available for adults and children, plus guests can rent complimentary humidifiers and air purifiers.

Good Times on the Grounds

The hotel has ample opportunities for entertainment and relaxation beginning with a spa staffed with highly ranked specialists and therapists. Not only can guests enjoy a variety of treatments and massages in the spa, they can even request an in-room service.

They can enjoy fine dining on-site as well. The hotel's lounge is the Rex Entertainment Place, which has a classy, bar atmosphere and little quirks like the Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton dangling from the ceiling. In keeping with the theme, the Rex Café is modern, bright, and airy with its own souvenir shop. After a busy day, room service is readily available in the evening.

Local Fun for the Whole Family

Universal Studios Japan is one of the most popular nearby spots and it's only ten minutes from the hotel. The hotel has its own Universal Studios Store, so guests can stock up on souvenirs when they get back from the park. Other family friendly attractions include Kaiyukan, where everyone can learn more about sea life, and traditional sites such as Osaka Castle and Kyoto. The Arima Onsen hot spring and Wakayama are ideal for nature lovers, while shoppers and city folk should visit Kobe and Tsutenkaku.

The Bottom Line

Although Hotel Universal Port is similar to Hotel Vista Grande Osaka in terms of luxuries and amenities, it stands out due to its location and its offerings. This hotel makes sure that kids have entertaining things to do and see so the adults can relax and feel pampered.
