This hotel was built on former shipyard premises at Moto-Ujina. It stands on a superb location where the Seto Inland Sea and islands can be viewed. The high-rise wing is triangular with elevators and utility pipes installed in the center, to secure opening to every direction.
The first floor has a water pool surrounded by a spiral slope. This pool could be too big for this scale of building.



[access]
[BUS] Take #21 Hiroshima Bus (Red Bus) bound for Hiroshima Prince Hotel at South Gate of Hiroshima Station, Hacchobori, Kamiya-cho, or Hiroshima Port. Get off at the terminal.
