Travelodge Hotels Asia (TLA) celebrated the official opening of Travelodge Osaka Shinsaibashi on August 6, 2026, following the hotel's soft opening on August 1. The new 302-room property, located in the heart of Osaka, is the latest addition to TLA's growing portfolio in Japan, a market the company identifies as key to its expansion strategy.
The hotel's prime location places guests within easy reach of Nagahoribashi Station, Shinsaibashi-Suji Shopping Street, and the iconic Dotonbori district, offering direct access to Osaka's renowned shopping, dining, and entertainment. This strategic positioning underscores TLA's commitment to providing comfort, convenience, and connection, the brand's signature experience.
The grand opening also marked the official debut of Trevor, Travelodge's new mascot. Described as friendly, smart, and loyal, Trevor is designed to embody the brand's welcoming spirit and foster memorable guest connections.

Lam expressed honor in celebrating alongside partners and guests, including Hiroshi Mizohata, Chairman and President of the Osaka Convention & Tourism Bureau.
To commemorate the opening, the hotel is running a "Stay Gold in Osaka" promotion, offering guests the chance to win prizes, including a gold bar. This initiative is part of TLA's broader efforts to enhance guest value and drive direct bookings.
