What are the globalist upgrade odds at this hotel? Would like to spend a week here - have a day's work in Osaka but am figuring out whether I want to extend the week to make most of the promo before its end. The rates are quite good as usual, but given that I will be mostly working during the day, would really appreciate a suite upgrade. Occupancy from faux bookings seems quiet low (as to be expected - both Tokyo and Osaka are on emergency restrictions).

Thanks to you and everyone else for the advice. It sounds like the HR Osaka is a nice hotel but doesn't really meet my needs. I'll check it the Conrad; I think I have an Amex offer for them. And I have whenever Hilton status you get for free with the Amex Plat, whatever that's worth (probably not much...)
It really baffles me that Hyatt still hasn't managed to come up with a better option for another Osaka property aside from the PH Kyoto.

From today, the Hyatt Regency Osaka is offering a plan for renting out the entire 17th floor.
https://prtimes.jp/main/html/rd/p/00...000012793.html
It looks like the floor's Diplomat Suite has been repurposed into a dedicated club lounge offering drinks, fruits, snacks, and other light food. Other rooms have also been remodeled to provide a private game room, gym, office, and relaxation center. Seven deluxe guest rooms and one premium guest room is open for sleeping arrangements. Room service Italian dinner is also included.
Base rate is 302,000 yen a night plus taxes and fees, with accommodations for up to 21 people.

To avoid eating/drinking is groups of more than 4 people not of the same household.
And if the lounge is open 24 hours and if "unlimited drinks" includes alcohol, Osaka Prefecture is requiring restaurants/bars (which would seem to include hotel lounges) to not serve any alcohol at all and to close at 8 pm.
This idea of up to 21 people staying on a single floor with a private lounge sounds a bit like a college frat party. It sure seems to me like it is not in line with what the government is asking of the public right now.

The hotel is not forcing people to break any guidelines, but it's also not their place to police their guests, especially with regards to conduct that is not illegal.

What is the status of the lounge here? Given that USJ is opening starting today, was thinking of a quick hop in and out. I love this property anyways.
I forgot to update on my last 1 week stay in late January/Early February. As OsakaWino mentioned it was a Club Access Premium which I really enjoyed. The highlight however, was that the "lounge" was repurposed to Basilico, which provided a 3 course meal with drinks every evening with rotating menus. The quality of food over lounge food was so good that we did 3 meals here. In fact on the Saturday when they reverted back to the lounge, it was kind of a let down.
Either ways, for the price and to my the location - it is a great stay in Osaka. This won't work for 99% of the travelers to Osaka but I now don't stay elsewhere unless I need to be in the Namba area.
