A Trial Stay Report of “THE BASEMENT HOTEL Osaka Honmachi”! A Rewarding ‘Hocance’ in a Space Filled with a Captivating Lounge

Hello! I am Takeuchi from SUNNY SIDE UP.

Has everyone made their travel plans for this summer yet?

At “THE BASEMENT HOTEL Osaka Honmachi,” located in the Honmachi area of Osaka—where sophisticated shops and cafes gather—captivating designs and luxurious experiences that satisfy the soul await you.

This time, PR representative Takeuchi will provide a full report on the charms of “THE BASEMENT HOTEL Osaka Honmachi,” for which SUNNY SIDE UP handles public relations!

Picture-perfect everywhere! “Excitement” sprinkled throughout the entire hotel!

From the moment you step into the hotel, you will be captivated by its world-view. It is not just the rooms that are cute! From the entrance and lobby to the lighting in the hallways, the entire hotel is a photogenic space that looks like a picture no matter where you crop it. The royal blue and dusty pink are so lovely that the excitement never stops!

Of course, the room I was shown (One Bedroom with Wide View) was even cuter than expected. Furthermore, the hotel’s original pajamas are extremely popular on social media for being “the most comfortable to wear.” They are incredibly soft to the touch and have a beautiful silhouette. Just by putting on these highly designed pajamas, your relaxation time in the room is upgraded to something truly special.

Supreme reward amenities. A little luxury while traveling.

For women who love “Hocance” (hotel vacations), a full range of amenities is the most important point. This hotel has special guest rooms that raise our motivation to the highest level.

Exclusively for the One Bedroom with Wide View on the upper floors, the high-performance “KINUJO” hair dryer, which is very popular on social media and in the beauty industry, is available! It is a wonderful point to be able to achieve your ideal styling without damaging your hair, even while traveling.

Furthermore, for skincare, facial masks from “Torriden,” known for their overwhelming moisturizing power, are provided. Wearing your favorite cute pajamas, healing the day’s fatigue with a mask, and preparing your hair for the next morning with the dryer. You can fully enjoy the luxury of “spending plenty of time on self-care,” which tends to be put off at home. If you want to experience these amenities, please try to book one of the eligible rooms!

Time to clear your mind in workshops and “encounters unique to travel”

A major attraction of this hotel is the experiential stay that goes beyond just spending the night.

In the daily workshops, you can enjoy activities such as making hand straps and trading card cases, as well as hand-drip coffee experiences, during your free time after check-in. This time, I participated in the “Moll Art” (pipe cleaner art) workshop.

This is a workshop where you create your own small bouquet using wire and fluffy colored pipe cleaners. While learning tips from the staff, I spent time immersed in choosing color combinations and working with my hands, completely losing track of time.

What was most wonderful was the interaction with other guests working at the same table. Conversations naturally flowed with comments like, “That color combination is so cute!” and “Where are you from?” leading to new and warm encounters that are only possible while traveling.

A fully equipped lounge that completely changes its expression depending on the time of day

The lounge at the center of the hotel is a perfectly comfortable space where guests gather. Because its atmosphere and ways to enjoy it change drastically depending on the time of day, there is always a fresh sense of comfort.

After checking in, first head to the lounge where natural light pours in comfortably. During Afternoon Tea from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM, you can enjoy free drinks such as coffee, tea, and juice, as well as bite-sized cakes, donuts, and other sweets. With your favorite drink and snack in hand, you can read a book or work on your computer. A peaceful and open time flows by, and before you know it, you could spend hours there.

During the Evening Cocktail from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM, the lounge lighting is dimmed as the sun sets, instantly transforming it into a chic, adult space. From this time, you can enjoy alcoholic beverages such as beer, sours, and wine, as well as light snacks, to your heart’s content. The warm atmosphere, where you can casually exchange words with other guests and friendly staff, relaxes the soul.

It is a fully equipped space that offers a different kind of comfort no matter what time you visit, making you feel that “it’s a waste to go back to the room!”

A colorful and fulfilling breakfast to start the day with happiness

The morning after a sound sleep wrapped in a comfortable bed and the best pajamas. The final treat is a breakfast that is as exciting to look at as it is to eat.

The menu, which uses plenty of fresh ingredients and is carefully prepared, is not only vibrant in appearance but also excellent in nutritional balance. From the main plate to the side dishes, every item is filled with attention to detail, and I found myself greedily eating quite a lot.

A reward stay in a captivating space.

Not only is the entire hotel stylish and cute, but the experiences—such as interacting in workshops and watching the time pass in the lounge—are all soul-satisfying just by being there. It was not just a stay, but a rewarding time that positively updated my mind and body.
