Any guidance? Obviously it will come down to personal preference but was just wondering what others thought. FWIW, I'm Diamond.
Have you ever been in the Conrad? It's really stunning. The lobby, anyway, and the views from the rooms. I don't know how long you'll have in Osaka, maybe you could split your time between both, spend your last night at the Conrad, or something like that?
The Hilton location is definitely more convenient if you're using it as a base for day trips. the Conrad is only a ten minute walk from Osaka station though if you find the right exit (actually if you can stay underground all the way walking past the subway entrance to exit c97 and then pop up the the street the Conrad is only a four minute walk from there)
