Leading global hospitality company Hilton (NYSE: HLT) today announced the opening of Hilton Hiroshima, marking Hilton's first flagship branded hotel in Hiroshima. Under an agreement with Fujimi-cho Development G.K., a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) set up by Setouchi Brand Corporation, Hilton Hiroshima is managed by Hilton.
Conveniently situated in the center of Hiroshima city, the hotel is within a 10-minute drive from Hiroshima Station and is within walking distance of the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Atomic Bomb Dome," and Peace Memorial Park - which attract more than 1.7 million visitors per year1. The hotel also offers easy access to major dining, shopping and sightseeing spots such as the Hiroshima Castle and Itsukushima Shrine with its famous floating torii gate.
The newly built 420-room Hilton Hiroshima features one of the largest convention facilities in the region, and the hotel can accommodate international MICE events of more than 1,000 people with 19 banquet and meeting rooms with the latest LED technology and state-of-the-art AV equipment. Additional hotel facilities include four restaurants, an executive lounge, a wedding chapel, a fitness center, an indoor pool, and sauna. Guests can also relax at the hotel spa, Spa by L'OCCITANE, which is the first L'OCCITANE spa to open in the region.
Hilton Hiroshima's guest rooms, including suites, are located on the 7th through 22nd floors. The room décor pays homage to the culture and natural surroundings of the region, with blue accents that reflect the Seto Inland Sea, art featuring graphic designs of Japanese maple tree, "Momiji," and amenities such as Bizen porcelain teacups which are inspired by the traditional craftsmanship of the region. The hotel overlooks the vibrant cityscape of Hiroshima, with views of the Seto Inland Sea and beautiful mountains in the distance, allowing guests to experience the charm of Hiroshima in all seasons.
The hotel's design concept extends to the four dining outlets, where guests can enjoy the tantalizing delicacies of Hiroshima - a treasure trove of ingredients - many with a modern twist.
