A Fresh Escape Awaits: Sauna MAX Opens in Osaka
Osaka's bustling Umeda district welcomes a new gem in the relaxation scene: Sauna MAX, an exclusive sauna facility located in the basement of the Hotel Live Max Umeda Central. Following the footsteps of the popular Live Max brand, known for its 198 properties nationwide, this new opening is set to elevate the experience of relaxation in the city.
Scheduled to open in early March, Sauna MAX caters specifically to male clients (future expansions will allow day-use for all guests), aiming to provide a tranquil atmosphere where visitors can unwind after a long day. The facility features spacious sauna rooms, an invigorating cold plunge pool, and ample relaxation areas designed to meet the needs of both sauna beginners and seasoned enthusiasts. Attention to cleanliness and flow within the space speaks to the care taken to ensure a satisfying experience for all.
Adding to the experience, the sauna’s interior draws inspirations from local landmarks, like Osaka Castle. The design is not just aesthetically pleasing but immersive, providing a taste of local culture while guests enjoy their time.
Pampering through Warmth: The Bounties of Salt Spring Water
A highlight of the experience is the access to a large public bath that features renowned Shikoku hot spring water, sourced from the well-known Shibaseki Onsen, famous for its skin-nourishing properties. This ancient hot spring, with about 1300 years of history, offers mineral-rich water known as a “beautifying bath.” Its rejuvenating effects help to relieve stress, soothe tired muscles, and, for many, the allure of silky, smooth skin awaits after each use.
Introducing MAX CABIN: A Comfortable Capsule Experience
In conjunction with the opening of Sauna MAX, the hotel will also unveil MAX CABIN on the first floor in mid-March. These capsules – a functional bedroom option with Wi-Fi and private TVs – are perfect for solo travelers looking to enjoy a cozy night in. Guests residing in MAX CABIN will benefit from complimentary access to the sauna and hot spring facilities during their stay, offering a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in relaxation throughout the day. Whether you’re seeking solitude or a comforting retreat before an early morning adventure, MAX CABIN is designed to cater to your every need.
