Hi

Here now for 4 nights
​​​​upgraded to king executive room on 19th floor

Evening lounge offerings more limited than previously but liked the beef stew and good sized slices of red velvet cake so it was ok for a snack which was all I needed

Breakfast in the executive lounge us only on sunday and monday due to lower occupancy and to reduce food waste acording to staff. It will be offered on more days as demabd picks up
full breakfast is in mozaik
model train set in the lobby until 14th

pool will be closed for 2 days 16th and 17th Jan and there will be sauna renovations after this but the sauna will remain open
last entry to the pool is at 2030 for closing at 2100
Fairly busy this evening but it is a saturday
could hear the elevators pings and elevator lobby music in the evening if you were quiet in the room but stopped at bed time


Regards
Tbs

The special menu for Golds & diamonds has been pared back ( in May it was a waffle and a drink ie mango juice) now it is a variety of drinks ie matcha tea but I chose a Berry smoothie.
cat figurines have been replaced by hiroshima carp baseball stuff ie shirts bats hats etc for the carp and strawberry sweets bufett held here on weekend afternoons.
quite busy at 8am but food items are replaced quite quickly and it is a very good buffet ( fruit selection is poor ie sliced pineapples only)
omelette cooked to order station also offers a hiroshima conger eel omellette
fresh seaweed rather than the dried wafer seaweed in packets as in some other hotels
condensation on the inside of the beroom window so had to wipe it to get a better view of the sun rising above the local hills c 0730 today but has cleared when I got back from breakfast
lounge is pretty quiet at 0830 and good selection of food but no special menu.though they do have okonomiyaki as a special item
​​menu.no queue at the coffee machine unlike at mozaik so having a vanilla flavoured coffee from the nespresso machine.
cloudless day in hiroshima but cool.( was about 0c at 0730)so will explore hiroshima starting with the shukkien garden


in the afternoon the only offerings are some sweets in jars and tortilla chips and sweet potato fried crisps.
soft drinks juices and tea coffee available.
they did start bringing in the cold hors d'ovres about 4pm but they were under wraps

Lounge was busy at 530pm on Sunday and the hot items were
Chicken wings
Clam chowder soup

Had some soup and the red velvet cake then went out to dinner


Hotel is a lot quieter on monday and Tuesday.
Red velvet cake was not present on monday but returned on tuesday
had dinner at mozaik ( buffet) . Not bad at c 3900 yen
diamond/gold discount of 25% applied automatically to the bill when charging to the room so charge was only 2990 yen
unusually for hiltons ,they are selling hilton hiroshima bears for y1500 ( and about 2x the size of the standard conrad tokyo and osaka bears) so bought 1. Will post a photo later.

heading to the conrad tokyo for 2 nights tomorrow
