The property is being developed by Miyajima Development G.K. and will be managed by Hilton.
"We are delighted to announce the upcoming arrival of the LXR Hotels & Resorts brand in one of Hiroshima’s most prestigious tourist destinations.

"LXR Miyajimaguchi represents a significant milestone for our luxury expansion in Japan," said Clarence Tan, senior vice president, Development, Asia Pacific, Hilton. "With 38 trading hotels, a quarter of which are in the luxury segment, we are on track to add a further five luxury properties to Japan in the coming years across the Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts, LXR Hotels & Resorts and Conrad Hotels & Resorts brands.
