Rihga Royal Hiroshima Hotel  

In central Hiroshima, a short walk from the Hiroshima Museum of Art and minutes from Kamiyacho. The hotel sits close to Hiroshima Castle and the Peace Memorial Park, with some rooms offering views of Hiroshima Castle and the Seto Inland Sea.

The building’s façade nods to Rijo, Hiroshima’s famed Carp Castle, giving the place a striking, modern-castle vibe. This 4-star hotel has 488 air-conditioned rooms with carpeted floors, flat-screen TVs, refrigerators, complimentary Japanese tea, private baths with bidets and slippers — simple comforts with local touches.

Expect free Wi‑Fi throughout, a 24-hour front desk, luggage storage and paid on-site parking. Recharge at the health club (fee) with an indoor pool, spa tub, sauna and gym, or book massages and body treatments — you can wake up to sea-breeze mornings if your room faces the water.

Onsite business center, conference space and meeting rooms pair with complimentary wireless internet and multilingual staff — practical for meetings and events. Self-parking is available for a charge.

Choose from five on-site restaurants, a bar/lounge and a café, plus limited-hour room service. Menus showcase local flavors and guests find simple Japanese touches like complimentary tea in-room.
