The hotel's concept is: "A hotel where you'll find opportunities that weave the past and the future together." Its predecessor, the Moriguchi Royal Pines Hotel (formerly Moriguchi Prince Hotel) which opened in 1985, enjoyed time with many customers over the years in its capacity as a local community hotel. Its concept reflects the desire to continue being a place that offers local customers an opportunity to gather with family, friends, and colleagues.
Hotel Agora Osaka Moriguchi's market segment is focused predominantly at business travelers and corporate guests in their 30s and 40s.
Re-designed by Hideki Hamakawa (ONTOH Inc. representative, Hotel Agora Osaka Moriguchi adopts a fashionable and stylish design concept. The 1st floor lobby features a dignified design befitting of the first Hotel AGORA. Also on the 1st floor, is the All-Day Dining & Lounge "the LOOP" and the Bakery & Cafe "fagot". Other dining facilities include Reika Chinese restaurant on the Lobby floor, Koyomi Japanese restaurant on the 4th floor and located on the 12th floor is the French dining and teppanyaki restaurant, Dining & Bar “Sizzling”.
The Rooftop Dining "Forum" with a spectacular view began operation prior to the hotel's grand opening and has garnered fantastic reviews; and gained a reputation as THE place to be.
The name "AGORA" means "now" in Portuguese and "a place where people gather" in Greek. In line with this, Hotel AGORA's marketing strategy is to offer 'first-rate NOW' to its guests and continue to uphold its mission of being "a place where people gather."
Hotel Agora Osama Moriguchi makes its debut as the first city hotel for AGORA Hotel Alliance.
