Discerning travellers, rejoice. Park Hyatt Tokyo has officially re-opened after an 18-month hiatus. The hotel had been closed since May 2024 for renovations to get the property ready for its 30th anniversary, but now it's back in full swing.
The upscale venue still occupies the top 14 floors of the iconic 52-storey Shinjuku Park Tower, though it's been upgraded to include more suites, a new restaurant and other amenities.
Opened in July 1994, Park Hyatt Tokyo was Asia's first Park Hyatt and the third worldwide. It was featured in the classic 2003 film Lost in Translation, which helped put it on the map among wide-eyed tourists looking for their own Tokyo experience.
The hotel's renovations were carried out by venerable Paris-based architectural design studio Jouin Manku, whose notable works include the La Momounia resort hotel in Marrakech and jewellery house Van Cleef & Arpels. The result is a modern, sophisticated design that incorporates natural materials while retaining the hotel's iconic charm.
The room count has gone down a bit from 177 to 171, but now includes 29 speciality suites (up from 23) ranging up to 290sqm. Marble and cypress bathtubs, steam saunas, entertainment rooms and, as always, breathtaking views of the city and Mt Fuji await future suite guests.
Along with the upgrades comes the new restaurant, Girandole by Alain Ducasse. The Michelin-starred chef and entrepreneur Ducasse brings Parisian and brasserie dishes to the scene, with chef Kojiro Tsutsumi at the helm as chef de cuisine.
Park Hyatt Tokyo is currently offering a promotion code to celebrate its re-opening, valid from now until April 30 2026. Make your reservations on the hotel's official website.
