This spring, Hiroshima will welcome a new lifestyle hotel as Mercure Tokyu Stay Hiroshima opens in the heart of the bustling Hachobori district on May 18, 2026.

 

Situated within walking distance of major landmarks such as Hiroshima Castle and Peace Memorial Park, the hotel offers an ideal base for exploring both the city and the wider region. Designed as more than just accommodation, the hotel embraces the concept of living like a local, inviting travelers to experience Hiroshima’s history, culture, and everyday rhythm while staying in the heart of the city.

Design Philosophy:

The hotel’s design is guided by the concept “Beauty of light on water,” drawing inspiration from Hiroshima’s natural landscape, from the Ota River flowing into the Seto Inland Sea to the elegant silhouette of Itsukushima shrine. This interplay of movement and light is reflected throughout the hotel’s architecture and interiors. Gentle curves, subtle textures, and carefully designed lighting evoke the shimmering water and the quiet elegance of Hiroshima’s surroundings. Rather than relying on ornate decorations, the design emphasizes refined details and materials that quietly reflect the character of the region.

Privilege Twin Living Room

 

Guest Experience:

The hotel features 182 guest rooms, each designed with comfort and spaciousness in mind. With an average size of 23 square meters, the rooms offer a relaxing environment suited to both short visits and longer stays. A range of room types accommodates two to four guests, making the hotels suitable for couples, families, and groups of friends traveling together.

True to Tokyu Stay’s concept of helping guests feel at home, every guest room is equipped with a washer-dryer and microwaves, making it easy for travelers to pack lighter and settle in comfortably.
