Canopy by Hilton Osaka Umeda by NIKKEN SEKKEI LTD (Japan)
Canopy by Hilton is a lifestyle brand rooted in the concept of “neighborhood” and grounded in the local area. It features designs and services that exploit the distinct qualities of the surroundings. Canopy by Hilton Osaka Umeda is located in the Grand Green Osaka’s North Building, adjacent to Umekita Park. The tower incorporates public spaces and guest rooms overlooking the park on the upper floors and a cafe on the first floor. The design concept is “HACK Osaka.” HACK is the alteration of existing concepts, a mixture of new ideas, and rewriting of the conventional system. Through the Canopy brand's filter, the goal was to create a hotel representing a new Osaka by constructing a space that humorously HACKs Osaka's local identity and culture.
