This “all-suite” hotel is a dream for large families visiting Hiroshima. Unlike standard cramped hotel rooms, Randor Hotel Hiroshima Prestige offers residential-style living with massive floor plans.

During summer, the seasonal outdoor pool provides extra entertainment for the little ones.
Situated on the lush, green Peace Boulevard, ANA Crowne Plaza Hiroshima offers a calmer environment while remaining incredibly central.
