Osaka gets a new Sheen

Patina Hotels & Resorts' first urban hotel in the Japan’s City of Water is all set for its debut, with bookings open for May 2025.

A 21-storey sanctuary that rises gracefully from Osaka’s ‘City of Water’, nestled between the sacred grounds of Naniwanomiya-Ato and Osaka Castle, Patina Osaka is one of those rare hotels that blends seamlessly into its natural environs, whilst becoming the go-to destination in transformative luxury, conscious living, and creative expression.

As Japan prepares to welcome the world at World Expo Kansai 2025, the first urban hotel under Patina Hotels & Resorts, Patina Osaka, beckons, a living testament to sustainable beauty. Here, naturally aged copper, thoughtfully sourced woods, and flowing water tell tales of time, honouring both the earth and artistry.

Within the embrace of the hotel’s contemporary façade lies a world unto itself. Through the collaboration of Jun Mitsui & Associates Architects and the interior designers at Strickland, Patina Osaka transcends mere architecture to become a living, breathing homage to its storied location.

The word ‘Patina’ symbolizes the graceful beauty that emerges over time, reflecting the timeless elegance that comes with age. By connecting with the land and its community, Patina Osaka aspires to offer an experience that opens new perspectives and creates lasting memories.

Lifestyle Insider is a kind of junction point, connecting people with diverse interests that touch on the more luxurious aspects of lifestyle – fashion, design, travel, food and spirits, art, watches and jewellery, cars, yachts, and aviation, and technology. People today don’t fit into boxes and categories. In our individual ways, we are interested in diverse themes, products, and the challenges that face our world today. You will judge how well this effort of mine caters to your passions and proclivities.

Lifestyle Insider is a showcase of all that is beautiful and luxe. Behind every creation, is a designer, chef, entrepreneur, or a design maison. I have delved into my own appreciation for objetsde luxe that I have admired over the years – be it a love of fashion from the world’s top Parisian and Italian fashion maisons and their ’90s muses, or the care that goes into sari and Indian textile collections in my own family. Growing up on four continents, as the daughter of a former Indian Ambassador, I’ve seen a remarkable array of historic places and met a myriad people. My aim is to bring my world view into this website, a curation of what I find particularly stunning, unique, and newsworthy.

It’s an exciting time for brands all over the world. With change comes opportunity. With the global ‘reset’ and uncertainty on many fronts, there is a chance to write a new script. Let’s be those pioneers.

A bit about me:
A luxury and fashion journalist with 25 years of experience in publishing and magazine journalism, I have edited some of India’s top fashion and luxury magazines. I got my BA in Comparative Literature from UC Berkeley, and went on to receive my Master’s in English and French from the University of Strasbourg, France. I have also studied German and Film. I live in Gurugram, India, and look forward to once again exploring our world with a new-found freedom.
