Hotel Royal Classic Osaka offers six banquet halls for conferences of up to 500 people in theatre style, five small private rooms for meetings and breakout sessions, a wedding program and 150 guest rooms. The hotel stands at 4-3-3 Namba in Osaka's Chuo ward, on the site of the former Shin-Kabukiza theatre, with a direct connection to Namba Station.
Seminars and company events
The halls are spread over the 3rd, 5th, 7th, 8th, 9th and 20th floors, so several groups can meet on the same day without crossing paths. The largest hall, Kotohogi and Uruwashi, suits general assemblies, product launches, press conferences and award ceremonies. The mid-sized halls of 180 to 250 seats work for training days, sales kick-offs and company dinners. Five small rooms named En, Tsumugi, Kizuna, Aya and Yui each have a window over Namba and serve as a main room for a small meeting, a breakout room, a speaker's waiting room or a break area. The banquet sales office takes requests on weekdays during office hours.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings have their own team and a dedicated section of the hotel's site. The banquet halls with party terraces lend themselves to receptions, and Sky Banquet Ruri, on the 20th floor, gives a smaller group a room high above the city.
Rooms and capacities
Kotohogi and Uruwashi, on the 3rd floor, covers 562 square meters and seats 500 in theatre style. Hiyori, on the 5th floor, has 189 square meters and 180 theatre seats.

Accommodation
The hotel has 150 guest rooms in standard, premium and suite categories, enough to house speakers, executives and part of a conference group in the same building as the meeting rooms.
Catering
Food for banquets is prepared by the hotel. On site, Yurayura serves a buffet on the 2nd floor, Koagari is a café lounge on the same floor, Kumokumo is a bar lounge on the 20th floor, Hafu serves breakfast on the 11th floor, and Tsuchi is an open café on the ground floor facing Midosuji.
History and setting
The hotel carries forward the design of the Shin-Kabukiza, the kabuki theatre that once stood on this corner of Namba, and architect Kengo Kuma designed the ground-floor café Tsuchi. The district around it is one of the busiest in Osaka for shopping, food and entertainment, which makes it easy to plan an evening program for attendees.
Getting there
Exit 12 of Osaka Metro Namba Station connects directly to the hotel. Nankai Namba Station, with trains to Kansai International Airport, is about four minutes on foot, and JR Namba Station is about ten minutes through the underground Namba Walk. A partner car park with about 84 spaces sits behind the hotel.
