"After a more than one-year closure for a major refresh that began in May 2024, Park Hyatt Tokyo is set to reopen with much of what made it iconic intact. Having worked there as a sommelier during the property's heyday, I remember how, since opening in 1994 within the top 14 floors of Kenzo Tange’s Shinjuku Park Tower, it became the standard-bearer for luxury in Tokyo and the hotel of choice for movie stars, creatives, and well-heeled travelers; its profile was further raised by Sofia Coppola’s Lost in Translation (2003) and a 2013 episode of Anthony Bourdain’s Parts Unknown. Senior management remained on site through the refresh while staff were temporarily placed at other Hyatt properties, and Paris-based design studio Jouin Manku is overseeing a redesign that respects original interior designer John Morford’s vision. The biggest transformation is to the guest rooms, which have been completely redesigned with newly added marble and wood accents in the bathrooms, headline features like the Club on the Park’s indoor pool remain, and reservations opened September 24 for a reopening on December 9, 2025, with nightly rates starting at $880 (not including taxes and fees)." - Yukari Sakamoto
"An iconic Tokyo hotel undergoing a 17-month renovation that aims to preserve the original celebrated interiors while introducing subtle updates—lighter carpets, refinished surfaces, double vanities and a new suite category—so the hotel’s blend of Western service and Japanese hospitality endures; the landmark New York Grill & Bar on the 52nd floor will continue to offer skyline views, live music and cocktails." - Jennifer Flowers
"The Park Hyatt Tokyo is highlighted as a prime location for redeeming travel points, known for its elegant rooms and stunning views of the city."
"An enduring favorite set atop Kenzo Tange’s Shinjuku Park Tower, known for sanctuary-like rooms clad in rare woods and soothing palettes, iconic cultural ties (including the green yukata from a famous film), and a strong roster of amenities such as a full sento public bath, a glass-enclosed rooftop pool, a 2,000-book library, and acclaimed dining at the New York Grill and jazzy New York Bar. The property’s design and service encourage lingering to take in Mount Fuji or the Shinjuku skyline." - Keith Flanagan, Adam H. Graham
"How did it strike you on arrival?Hotel aficionados drool over Park Hyatt Tokyo; it’s not the newest, nor splashiest, but it’s among the more rarified originals to which other hotels aspire. Rising through the 39th and 52nd floors of a glassy skyscraper in Shinjuku, the hotel quickly eases into the space with soft lights and handsome interiors that, although it opened over two decades ago, feel timeless. What’s the crowd like?Fans of Park Hyatt alongside romanced first-timers (plus, anyone who’s seen Lost in Translation). The good stuff: Tell us about your room.Born in the '90s, the style is immaculately maintained. Deluxe rooms are spacious with neutral, textured wallpaper, soft wall-to-wall turquoise-green carpet, and panoramic windows framing a scintillating Shinjuku (or, with luck, Mount Fuji on the horizon). The decor is clean-edged, and an upholstered bed frame—matching the carpet—is bookended with electric paper lanterns, all refreshingly spare. We’re craving some deep, restorative sleep. They got us?Extra-wide beds, tucked with ironed sheets, can seem hilariously large—though no one is complaining. Please tell us the bathroom won’t let us down.The aroma of parsley seed, rosemary leaf, and bergamot mint refresh the bathrooms thanks to Aesop toiletries. There are shiny surfaces all-around, from granite tiled stand-up showers to the mirrors surrounding the sink, but there are eclectic touch-ups, too: Framed art hangs above the tub, and gold and white checkered floors are a pure novelty. Maybe the most important topic of all: Wi-Fi. What’s the word?Wi-Fi is everywhere and anywhere it’s needed (at no extra cost). Room service: Worth it?Room service is available, at the price you might expect at a five-star hotel, but why aren't you eating at one of the hotel’s brilliant restaurants? Anything stand out about other services and features? Whether it’s childcare, gyms, spas, even parking—whatever stuck with you.The fare at the high-up New York Grill is so rich and so worth it, and yes, it’s the same venue famously featured in Lost in Translation. Bottom line: worth it, and why?Unless you're looking for contemporary with a capital C, it's worth every dime to stay at this handsome classic." - Keith Flanagan
