Experience of the stay
I stayed at the ANA Crowne Plaza Hotel Hiroshima, which I visited through HafH.
Opened in September 1983 as the "Hiroshima ANA Hotel," it was renamed the ANA Crowne Plaza Hotel Hiroshima on December 3, 2007.
The hotel is located on "Heiwa-dori," right in the center of Hiroshima city, with convenient transportation options, surrounded by office buildings, shopping districts, and the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum.
It's about a 10-minute taxi ride from Hiroshima Station.
I took the streetcar and after about 20 minutes, I got off at Fukuro-machi Station, and it was right in front of me.
Upon entering the hotel, the spacious lobby confirms it is a large hotel.
The room I booked was a Club Superior Twin.
I was informed that I could check in at the Club Lounge, so I moved there.
They carried my luggage to my room, which was nice of the Club floor!
The Club Lounge is located on the 22nd floor, and it opened exclusively for Club floor guests on February 15, 2023. It has a great view and is a very new and comfortable space.
The Club Lounge offers various services; during the afternoon tea service, you can enjoy the hotel’s special sweets and savory items along with coffee and tea after check-in.
From 5:30 to 7:30 PM, the cocktail service includes craft beer, wine, sake, and appetizers.
At breakfast, a buffet featuring menu items made with local ingredients from Hiroshima is available exclusively at the Club Lounge, including egg dishes made by the chef right in front of you, fresh baked bread, and Japanese side dishes.
I had a light drink at the Lounge before dinner, and the variety of cocktails was so extensive that I could have easily filled up just on those.
The room had a simple design with a white theme.
It's a bit disappointing that it had a unit bath, but it looked clean considering its age.
There were also chargeable drinks and alcohol in the fridge.
An iron was provided in the closet as well.
During my stay, I enjoyed not only the room but also the cocktail service, which allowed unlimited drinks while admiring the night view of Hiroshima, which was simply delightful.
I was highly satisfied, so when staying at the ANA Crowne Plaza Hotel Hiroshima, I definitely recommend making use of the Club Lounge!
Experiences during the trip
During my recent trip to Hiroshima, I visited various tourist attractions such as Shukkeien Garden, Miyajima, and the Atomic Bomb Dome.
While visiting Miyajima, I believe that the Itsukushima Shrine is a must-see, but make sure to wear comfortable shoes and try climbing Mount Misen as well.
On a clear day, you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the Seto Inland Sea, so it's highly recommended.
Since it was the season for autumn leaves, there were many tourists, including foreigners, so I recommend visiting Itsukushima Shrine during the off-season when there are fewer people for those who want to take their time enjoying the shrine. (Though the off-season may not be as evident these days.)
When in Hiroshima, you can't miss the Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki.
Eating Hiroshima-yaki at "Okonomimura" in the city center while enjoying a beer is simply delicious.
Additionally, during my visit, a famous local festival called "Kozu Taikai" was taking place, so after dinner, I visited Kozu Shrine to pray for prosperous business.Get Extra Bonus Coins! Sign up with this user's referral code now!
