Made infamous by the dropping of the Atomic Bomb during World War II, Hiroshima has been nearly entirely rebuilt, blossoming into a beautiful city filled with tranquil shrines, parks and riverside cafes. Well-positioned right in the hub of the action, the Sheraton is a fantastic hotel that checks every box. We're talking plenty of dining options, an indoor pool and the Sheraton's signature beds that ensure a superb night's rest. But by no means will you spend every moment inside; remember the tragic loss of life at the Peace Memorial Park, take in a Samurai performance, or make a day trip to the sublime Miyajima Island.

Featuring deeply comfortable King-size 'Sheraton Signature Sleep Experience' beds, honey-coloured wooden furnishings and huge picture windows, the hotel has a choice of standard, deluxe and club rooms as well as five suites. All enjoy a desk and sitting area with views over the city or Inland Sea, a TV and photographs of Japan's iconic scenery, with the biggest difference being in their size. The open-plan bathrooms are pristine and white with marble countertops, a roomy tub and shower, and signature amenities.
The location really is superb — you're right beside the train and bus station, making it easy to zip around the city.
If you're celebrating whilst at the Sheraton, both restaurants have private dining rooms available.
The pool comes at an additional cost for anyone not in a Club room, so if you're planning to use it a lot, it could be worth going for the upgrade.
