Restaurants and shops in the hotel

There were 4 restaurants in the hotel: Cafe & Dining “Chef’s Palette,” Buffet Restaurant “Bayern,” Japanese Restaurant “Musashino,” and Chinese Restaurant “Koukiden.” “Musashino” was closed and “Koukiden” was open for lunch and dinner only (closed on Sundays).

IMG_0905.JPG (24)

Cafe & dining “Chef’s Palette” was located on the 1st floor. I had both dinner and breakfast here.

IMG_0905.JPG (22)

The restaurant was divided into a dining area with a total of 102 seats, a semi-private room that can be used by groups of up to 40 people and a cafe area with a casual atmosphere.

IMG_0905.JPG (26)

I had some craft beer.

IMG_0905.JPG (23)

Pasta, mussel ajillo and chicken ajillo.

IMG_0905.JPG (25)

I had three types of tiramisu for dessert. Every dish was delicious.

IMG_0905 copy

You can choose between a Western or Japanese set for breakfast, so I chose Western dishes. The freshly squeezed orange juice, coffee and egg dishes could be fried eggs, scrambled eggs or omelets. Sausages, bacon, hot vegetables, yogurt, fruits, salads, soups, daily breads, and mini desserts will fill your stomach, but you can choose a main dish.

IMG_0905.JPG (27)

Takeout coffee and tea.

IMG_0905.JPG (28)

There was a FamilyMart on the 1st floor. There were special products on sail, so the name was not a “Convenience store” but a “Convenience shop FamilyMart.”

The staff treated me very kindly. They were wearing Seibu Lions white uniforms giving a friendly vibe. The staff at the restaurant were also very polite and gave me a good impression.

There were those staying on a business trip, tourists and baseball fans. I did not see any guests staying as a group, but it was probably because of the coronavirus.

Summary

I had a nice stay at this hotel. I stayed for the first time in 22 years. It was renovated and very new. and shiny, and I was very happy that it was a wonderful hotel as well as a surprise. There were also many attractions and sightseeing spots around the hotel. I could not go to the aquarium or the planetarium during my stay, so I would love to stay here again and go sightseeing in the neighborhood. I really enjoyed staying at the “Sunshine City Prince Hotel.”
