The Park Front Hotel at Universal Studios is a modern three-pearl hotel aimed mostly at visitors to Universal Studios. However, trips downtown and to other local attractions are made easy by the JR station that's just minutes away on foot. Decor pays homage to the United States, with nods to iconic eras and places throughout the hotel. The restaurant has superb park views and the 598 smart rooms come in a variety of configurations perfect for families and groups. There's plenty on hand for younger visitors as well, including a kids' concierge. All in, it's a solid place to recharge during a visit to Universal, but travelers looking for a bit more to do on-site would need to opt for a hotel in the north of the city, like The Westin Osaka.

Located in Osaka Bay, the 600-room Hotel Universal Port is the official hotel of Universal Studios Japan, which is just a few minutes' walk from here. This upper-middle-range hotel has spacious guest rooms, and lots of kid-friendly facilities and amenities. Think: play areas, a dinosaur-themed cafe, and in-room toys and games. The restaurant serves meals buffet-style, with the extensive breakfast buffet (charged extra) made up of over 90 dishes. There's also a dinosaur-themed cafe and shop, and massage services are available in the Refresh Salon. However, there's no pool and the hotel is far from the city center, making the hotel truly a destination only for those visiting Universal Studios. Travelers looking to stay in the city center could try Hotel Granvia Osaka, which feels more business- than child-friendly.
