First off the Kansai Airport Washington Hotel is nowhere near Osaka. Fastest journey would be about 32 minutes from Rinku Town station to Namba (Nankai) station via the Nankai Rapi:t service at a cost of 1,240 Yen, one way. You might want to consider looking for a hotel in Osaka or getting a Kansai Thru Pass:

You can either walk north (15-20 minutes, click on the "walkng man" icon for walking option) from Nanba (Nankai) station to Tokyu Hands or take the subway one stop to Shinsaibashi (200 Yen, about 10 minutes):

Loft, Osaka (Umeda):

Loft Osaka is located in the Umeda area, north-east of Hankyu Umeda station. If you go to Tokyu Hands first, take the subway from Shinsaibashi to Nakatsu subway stop. Walking route from subway:
