Agora Hospitalities is excited about launching its latest property, Dorsett by Agora Osaka Sakai, on March 25, 2025.

Michael Xian, the Chief Executive and President of Agora Hospitality Group, stated: “This debut, in partnership with Dorsett Hospitality International, marks Agora’s 10th, and introduces the first Dorsett Hotel in Japan. Dorsett by Agora Osaka Sakai reflects our commitment to exceptional hospitality and showcasing the best of Japan.”

Just in time for the Osaka World Expo in Yumeshima, the hotel will offer ticket sales for a direct ferry service running four times daily, conveniently connecting guests from the pier just outside the hotel to the Expo within 30 minutes.

Where Style Meets Sustainability

The new hotel is positioned just three train stops from the bustling shopping district of Namba and a 30-minute ride from the airport, making it ideal for both leisure and business travelers.

Guests will enjoy 321 stylish rooms and suites, a meeting room for up to 42 seated guests, and an all-day dining restaurant featuring an outdoor harbourfront terrace accommodating 120 guests.

Half of the guestrooms, varying from 22 to 44 sqm, provide breathtaking views of Sakai harbour. Each room is equipped with compact minibars, window-side seating, and sofa beds.

The design, inspired by sustainability and local culture, incorporates elements of ‘Greenery, Earth and Sea’. Eco-friendly materials such as ceramic tiles, bricks, and upcycled denim cushions sourced from Japanese brand Rekrow ensure a comfortable and environmentally conscious stay.

Customers booking directly with the hotel can benefit from the brand’s Dorsett 26 Hours programme, which offers flexible check-in or check-out times for a full 26-hour stay. Moreover, Dorsett Discoveries, a curated insider guide, will provide guests with unique access to experiences around Sakai and Osaka.
