Many of the newly opened hotels have a high price range, and many are foreign-affiliated. Despite the hotel opening boom, many of the newly opened hotels are quite expensive, with many being foreign-affiliated. For example, THE OSAKA STATION HOTEL, Autograph Collection, which opened on July 31 and is directly connected to Osaka Station, costs nearly 70,000 yen per night even on weekdays. The hotels that have opened or are set to open in Osaka are clearly targeting wealthy individuals and inbound tourists, offering little benefit to Japanese businesspeople struggling to find affordable accommodations for their business trips.
