Zentis Osaka Unveils a Romantic Escape
Osaka, Japan, May 14, 2026 / TRAVELINDEX / For those who prefer buzzy big cities over remote backdrops, Zentis Osaka is rolling out a stay package that pairs the zen-like setting of its urban sanctuary with the vibrant cityscape of one of Japan’s most popular destinations.
Located a leisurely stroll from the art and culture hub that is Nakanoshima, the picturesque islet nestled between the Dojima and Tosabori Rivers, the hotel makes for both the perfect base from which to enjoy all that Osaka has to offer and a blissful hideaway to retreat to at the end of each day.
The ‘Romantic Escape at Zentis Osaka’ stay package includes:
- Two nights of accommodation in a Studio, Corner Studio or Suite
- Daily breakfast at UPSTAIRZ Restaurant – with a choice of American, Japanese or vegan breakfast supplemented by a buffet presentation
- A bottle of ‘AWA’ Japanese sparkling wine by Château Mercian made with Japanese Koshu grapes and exquisitely blended with chardonnay and riesling
- Canelés (four) by CANELÉ du JAPON, with Japanese ingredients incorporated into the much-loved French confectionery
- A sumptuous, prix-fixe dinner at UPSTAIRZ Restaurant, topped with its signature dessert plate featuring an artful array of bite-size treats
- A box of ‘everlasting flowers’ (fresh flowers preserved to last 2-3 years)
Moreover, couples can request (at additional charge):
- Wine pairings to accompany their four-course dinner at UPSTAIRZ
- Zentis Osaka’s cozy pajamas custom-embroidered with their initials
The menu at Michelin-recommended UPSTAIRZ highlights local ingredients, presenting each season’s finest with a European twist. Selections include dishes such as sea bream carpaccio, saffron-infused acqua pazza with Japanese hamaguri clams, and tagliatelle wagyu-beef Bolognese. Optional wine pairings will feature recommendations by the team at UPSTAIRZ Bar, which includes multi-award-winning mixologists.
For those who might like to enjoy a touch of culture during their urban escape, Zentis Osaka’s Craftsmanship series includes activities such as an introduction to shodō (Japanese calligraphy), an experience which the hotel team can assist with arranging.

Its convenient location and laid-back feel, replete with outdoor terraces surrounded by greenery, make it the ideal setting for urban getaways.
