The Conrad is the big-city splurge. 164 rooms on the top floors of a Nakanoshima tower, with an indoor pool, a gym, a spa and five places to eat or drink on the 40th floor, per Hilton.
It isn’t near the ship. Tempozan is about 4.5 miles away by our pins, so it’s a taxi either way. Hilton lists parking from ¥3,700 but no airport shuttle.
