a hotel chain with over 4,000 hotels in more than 80 countries, is joining hands with Universal Studios Japan to
open the Best Western Premier Hotel Osaka Bay, USJ’s official hotel. A twelve-storey hotel with 190 rooms,
construction begins this month with a planned opening of July 2009.
The hotel has
divided its floor into three main concepts: Spire, Moon Light, and Day Light. Guest rooms
will be designed with a sense of fun
and fantasy. Guests will also be able to enjoy the scenery from the top floor open-kitchen sky restaurant, as lighting changes
from day
to evening.
Universal Studios Japan is Osaka’s answer to Tokyo Disneyland. The third movie-based theme park in the Universal Studios' family, it was
the first opened outside of the United States. Visitors experience live-action shows and amusement park rides inspired by some of the more
popular Universal Studios' films, including Jaws, Back to the Future and Terminator. The park also features a number of American-style
restaurants centered on movie themes.
“As the world's largest hotel chain, we share a similar business model with Universal Studio. With 61 years history of Best Western
hospitality excellence and over 90 years of Universal Studio’s unique entertainment record, we both have achieved and succeeded to offer
our guests the most enjoyable experience. It is our commitment to provide best services to the guests that truly makes this a great
partnership,” said Glenn de Souza, Best Western Vice President International Operations Asia.
