Marriott International is adding another brand in the booming Japan market with the development of W Osaka.

It becomes the first W Hotels location in Japan and is slated to open in 2021.

A new-build set over 27 floors, W Osaka will have 337 rooms and suites, multiple F&B outlets, and signature W Hotels fitness and spa facilities.

"In 2020, Japan will capture the global spotlight, welcoming nations from around the world to the country on a grand scale for the 2020 Olympic Games. This is a great build up to the launch of the first-ever W in Japan," said Anthony Ingham, global brand leader, W Hotels Worldwide.

"W is always bringing its new/next vision and bold approach to new destinations, especially cities as vibrant and energetic as Osaka. We are confident W Osaka will add even more energy and excitement to this already action-packed year in Japan."

The site is owned by Sekisui House, which is a long-standing partner of Marriott International.

W Osaka will join more than 50 W Hotels currently open which is set to swell to 75 by the end of 2020.
