A Place Where Sensibilities Take a Deep Breath

'Zentis' is the first accommodation-focused hotel brand to be launched by Palace Hotel Co., Ltd. With the concept of 'Encounters of a New Kind: A Place Where Sensibilities Take a Deep Breath,' it offers a refined and comfortable hotel stay that resonates with the sensibilities of domestic and international guests through sophisticated design and service.

About the Brand Name
The name 'Zentis' is a coined word created from 'Z,' symbolizing the ultimate; 'entis,' meaning essence in Latin; the Japanese words 'zento' (future) and 'en' (connection); and the English word 'is.' It embodies the aspiration for the hotel to be a place where individuals who pursue the essence of their own lifestyles can enjoy a stay as if living there, while forging ahead and encountering meaningful connections.

About the Concept
Under the brand concept 'Encounters of a New Kind: A Place Where Sensibilities Take a Deep Breath,' the hotel aims to be a place where a hotel stay becomes a time for guests to encounter people, visions, values, and ideas they have never met before, and where intellectual encounters with 'something new' breathe fresh life into the guests.

About the Design of 'Zentis Osaka'
The interior design was handled by Tara Bernerd & Partners, led by Tara Bernerd, who has designed numerous luxury hotels worldwide, including 'SIXTY SoHo New York' and 'The Hari London.' Targeting sophisticated guests seeking intellectually stimulating experiences in the heart of Osaka, the hotel's interior is designed with natural materials and colors as its base. From the first to the second floor, a large glass window covers an entire wall, creating an open and warm space filled with natural light. At the center of the lobby, designed to impress arriving guests, a stone staircase connects the first and second floors.

The second-floor lounge features a ceiling height of approximately 7 meters. By incorporating exposed brick and wood, along with accents of blue and mustard yellow, the space is finished with a sophisticated ambiance suitable for both daytime and nighttime use. The guest rooms also incorporate warm, natural materials and colors, offering a compact yet fully functional design.
