From June 21 to September 30, 2026, W Osaka will host its “Summer Frozen Escape” promotion, offering a rare opportunity for non-staying guests to access the property’s fourth-floor WET indoor pool and the adjacent open-air WET DECK. The seasonal program centers on a refined take on kakigori (shaved ice), paired with terrace dining and a dedicated highball plan designed for the humid Osaka summer.
Shaved Ice and Poolside Access
The centerpiece of the summer menu is the Yamazaki Whisky Kakigori. This version of the traditional dessert uses Suntory Single Malt Whisky “Yamazaki 12 Years” to create a sophisticated profile. For those seeking fruit-forward options, the hotel offers White Peach & Coconut and a Kyoto Uji Matcha variety accented with tropical fruits. The “WET & Kakigori Plan” provides 45 minutes of access to the neon-lit indoor pool, typically reserved for overnight residents, followed by a 90-minute session on the terrace.
Evening Dining on the WET DECK
As the sun sets, the WET DECK transitions into a venue for curated dinner plans. Guests can opt for the Light Dinner Plan, which includes spicy fried chicken and a mini kakigori, or the more substantial Dinner Plan featuring steak frites. Both packages include 45 minutes of pool access. For those focused on the bar experience, the “Ao Highball Free-Flow Plan” offers unlimited pours of Suntory World Whisky Ao alongside a selection of five appetizers, though this specific plan does not include pool entry.
Weekend Blackbox Session Opening Party
The season commences with a one-night event on June 20, 2026, titled “WEEKEND BLACKBOX SESSION.” The evening will feature a poolside sushi bar hosted by guest chef SUSHI LION, known for contemporary pairings of seafood and Japanese whisky. The musical backdrop will be provided by international techno figures Christian Smith and TENNAN. This opening party grants full access to the indoor pool, transforming the 4F facility into a high-energy night venue from 17:00 to 23:00.
