Harmonie Embrassee

The Harmonie Embrassee is a boutique hotel extremely close to the train station and shops. It oozes luxury and the ‘welcome drinks’ upon arrival were a wonderful touch. The room was extremely spacious, bright and classy. The special touches to help us celebrate our 30th Wedding Anniversary, didn’t go unnoticed. Towels in the shape of swans forming a love heart and rose petals on the bed were an absolute surprise The mini bar was generously stocked for our complimentary consumption. The bathroom products were by Bulgari and the spa overlooking the city of Osaka was exquisite! The spectacular views from the balconies were breathtaking and the extreme kindness, generosity and respect shown to us by all the staff at the Harmonie Embrassee was humbling and greatly appreciated. We would highly recommend this beautiful hotel when staying in Osaka.

Very spacious room so our family of 3 could rest and do our own thing without bumping into each other. Great location. Close to great malls/department stores and cool stores. Walking distance from the subway. Delicious breakfast.

An unexpected delight! This hotel was amazing for the money. The staff were very friendly and offered us a drink on arrival. The room was lovely and well appointed with comfy beds, spectacular view (with accessible balcony), and separate bathroom. The shower was the best we'd had in Japan. There is a lounge with free drinks and snacks which we used once. Even free alcohol which we thought was amazing even though we don't drink. We would stay here again.

When I shipped my suitcases from another hotel to Harmonie, I phoned reception to find an enthusiastic male colleague who spoke fluent English, and reassured me that my 3 of my big 28 inch suitcases would be in my room by the time I got there. Communication in English is usually difficult in Japan hotels and the previous hotel I stayed at was a 5 star hotel (The Marriot) in Tenoji and even all of the staff members there couldn’t speak as fluently as this male staff at a mere 3 star hotel. He answered my questions on Booking.com immediately in detail, and when I called the hotel, he already knew I was the one who posted the question! So good to have the suitcases delivered to my massive room and to see them actually there! I was so relieved to see my luggage safe and sound. The room was large enough that I could lay flat all 4 of my large 28 inch suitcases and a carry on open with all my shopping in it. And there was still a lot of space to walk around. This was possible in the room 1405 I stayed in, not to mention this hotel is a thumbs up if you’re a smoker. The balcony was huge. You could literally have 2 big golden retrievers run around there! The hotel staff permitted me to smoke on the balcony with an ash tray on a small table with two comfy outdoor chairs to sit on. There were outdoor slippers too. For shopping’s sake in Umeda, I definitely will be back to this hotel and will extend my stay instead of staying at Hotel Hankyu Respire or Villa Fontaine Umeda in Osaka. Mainly because the beds are so comfy and the rooms are larger. They also make up your room from morning until 5pm! Perfect for people who sleep in.

Simply the best room we ever stayed in - very comfortable beds but the widest (10 metres plus ?) ceiling to floor almost all glass window giving spectacular city views especially at night time. Most friendly helpful staff and a special shout out to Satsuki who welcomed us so well and the staff who did our room so beautifully for or special anniversary and also to the friendly bar staff especially Irene (Irish spelling 😇)
