Exclusive: Park Hyatt Tokyo will reopen in December — here’s when you can start booking
When the iconic Park Hyatt Tokyo closed in May 2024 for a yearlong (and some change) renovation, the TPG team already started arguing about who would be the lucky staffer to review the new and improved property over 30 years after its original opening.
While that's a battle for us to duke out behind the scenes, we do have good news for you: The Park Hyatt Tokyo will officially reopen Dec. 9. Reservations open Sept. 24 at noon local time (or 11 p.m. EDT on Sept. 23, for those of us in the U.S. hoping to snag a room).
The Park Hyatt Tokyo has long been a jewel for Hyatt, made especially famous when it played a starring role in the 2003 film "Lost in Translation" starring Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson.
But even the biggest celebrities need a new look every now and then (our last review in 2019 said as much) — and that's exactly what guests at the new iteration of the Park Hyatt Tokyo should expect.
Guests will find the famous property occupying the 39th to 52nd floors of the Shinjuku Park Tower has been completely reimagined — from the guest rooms to the lobby to dining establishments and event venues — by Parisian design and architect studio Jouin Manku, all while still paying homage to John Morford's iconic original designs.
Originally home to 177 rooms and suites, the revitalized property will now offer 171 accommodations that have been reconfigured "to enhance room-to-room connection," according to a statement exclusively released to TPG. Rooms will feature a new shade of the hotel's signature green carpet, Aesop skin care products, Italian Frette linens and Japanese-style pajamas called "yukata."
New to the lineup of accommodations are the Park Suites, which measure 915 square feet and offer separate living and sleeping areas, dining tables, walk-in closets and views of world-renowned Tokyo spots like fashionable Harajuku, bustling Shibuya, Meiji Shrine and Yoyogi Park. On a clear day, many rooms offer views of Mount Fuji.
On the food and beverage front, a new restaurant called Girandole by Alain Ducasse will bring the famed chef's Michelin star-affiliated meals to the hotel in the form of a French brasserie. In the mornings, Girandole will offer a refined French breakfast and move throughout the day to offer cocktails and wine, small bites and signature dishes.
While not new to the hotel, The Peak Lounge and Bar will continue to serve as a refined place for afternoon tea and evening cocktails. The lounge has been updated to enhance the views of Tokyo alongside new furniture and softer lighting (including lights inspired by Japanese lanterns). The social space will also offer acoustic music performances in the evening.
The New York Bar, a defining element of the Park Hyatt Tokyo, isn't reinventing itself per se. Rather, the bar is being fully restored to its original design. Also being revived to their original states are the Japanese restaurant, Kozue; the Club on the Park fitness center and spa; and The Library, home to more than 2,000 books.
"We hope that when guests return, they will feel at ease and recognize the hotel's spirit, while also sensing a renewed energy," Patrick Jouin, designer and co-owner of Jouin Manku, said in the statement.
Sanjit Manku, architect and co-owner of the firm, added, "It's like a film remake: the same story, reinterpreted by different generations. The deeper you explore, the more you will notice a thoughtful balance — refined in a way that will remain relevant for another 30 years."
And trust us, as one of the most anticipated hotel openings of the year, we can't wait to see the film these teams have been working on.
