The Molokini Lounge: Treat Yourself to a Tasty Budget-Friendly Lunch!
Even if you're not staying at the hotel, you can enjoy a meal at one of the in-house restaurants or visit the bar. The menu includes Japanese food, buffet dining, and Chinese cuisine (some shops are temporarily closed).
We recommend visiting the Molokini Lounge on the first floor. You can gaze out at the Seto Inland Sea from the large windows while savoring this blissful moment.
The menu features light meals, including pasta, curry rice, and sandwiches. It's an ideal place for either lunch or afternoon tea.
When our writer visited at lunch, she ordered the Hiroshima Spinach and Salmon Fettucine Coffee Set (1,850 yen).
The menu showcases creative touches, including the use of Hiroshima-grown ingredients. The menu changes seasonally, so you can look forward to some tasty surprises each visit.
Lunch entrees start from 1,000 yen. Although this is a first-class hotel, the prices remain reasonable. This is definitely a spot offering great value for customers.
All of the lunch sets include coffee.
Upon closer look at the coffee cup, you'll see that it's engraved with an image of Itsukushima Shrine's torii gate.
This delicate touch gives visitors an appreciation for Hiroshima's unique destinations. Somehow, you can't help but get a special feeling when spotting these details.
Luxurious Moments Spent Quietly Gazing at the View
While sipping coffee by the window, you can savor a blissful moment staring out at the hotel garden and the Seto Inland Sea.
Although your phone is tucked away in your bag, you may feel the urge to pull out your pen and notebook.
It's easy to become overwhelmed by a daily to-do list and time constraints. Without realizing it, you can often lose track of where you're headed in life.
When this happens, our writer likes to stop and spend a quiet moment organizing her thoughts by jotting down what's on her mind.
Feel free to visit this peaceful lounge, even if your're traveling by yourself. It's the perfect place to read or do some personal reflection.
When our writer took a breather and stepped outside, a ferry traveling to and from Miyajima entered the harbor.
If departing from the pier in front of the hotel, it takes 26 minutes to get to Miyajima and 19 minutes to Etajima.
If you're heading to Hiroshima for sightseeing, it's convenient to arrive at Miyajima without making a single train transfer.
Refresh Your Spirit in the Hotel's First-Class Space
When looking out at the peaceful waters of the Seto Inland Sea, you can put your troublesome thoughts in order and settle into serenity.
It's hard to relax in a busy cafe when you want to connect with yourself or enjoy a conversation with someone you haven't seen in a while. So, a peaceful and calm hotel lounge is an ideal place to go.
Making good use of a hotel isn't strictly about booking accommodations.
Why not plan a refreshing getaway to the Grand Prince Hotel Hiroshima—a hotel near the city center where extraordinary experiences await.
