Famed as a location for the Lost in Translation movie, the Park Hyatt Tokyo will reopen on December 9, with reservations starting on September 24.
Asia’s first Park Hyatt occupies the 39th to 52nd floors of Shinjuku Park Tower, a modern Japanese architectural masterpiece designed by Pritzker Prize-winner Kenzo Tange. Following a comprehensive property-wide refinement since May 2024, the hotel will unveil newly designed guestrooms and suites, restored public spaces, event venues and enhanced dining destinations, including Girandole by Alain Ducasse and The Peak Lounge & Bar.
The iconic New York Grill & Bar, modern Japanese restaurant Kozue, Club On The Park fitness center and spa and The Library—a curated collection of more than 2,000 books—will be fully restored to their original designs. As part of the project, Park Hyatt Tokyo will reduce the number of rooms and suites from 177 to 171, introducing a new suite category.
General Manager Fredrik Harfors said, “As we celebrate more than three decades of welcoming guests to Park Hyatt Tokyo, this refinement represents both a homecoming and the beginning of a new chapter.”
“We look forward to offering an experience that is refreshed yet familiar – one that resonates with returning guests and invites a new generation to discover Park Hyatt Tokyo as a place to truly reside, find relaxation and feel at home.”
Led by Parisian Studio Jouin Manku, the comprehensive project encompasses guestrooms, suites, The Peak Lounge & Bar and Girandole by Alain Ducasse. Inspired by the original interior DNA by John Morford, Studio Jouin Manku’s new design uses custom-designed furnishings, harmonious materials and spatial layouts to create new atmospheres that evolves Park Hyatt Tokyo’s distinct character.
Patrick Jouin, designer and co-owner, said, “We hope that when guests return, they will feel at ease and recognize the hotel’s spirit, while also sensing a renewed energy.
Sanjit Manku, architect and co-owner, 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.”
Accommodation
Guestrooms and suites underwent the most significant transformation, redesigned to feel more open and elegant, rooted in ease and personalized luxury. While layouts remained, configurations have been softened to enhance room-to-room connection; from entry to bedroom and dressing room to bath. Bathrooms—inspired by traditional Japanese wet rooms where the shower and bathtub share a combined space—now feature a balanced blend of mineral and organic materials such as marble and wood, reflecting both clarity and warmth.
Amenities and technology comprise of Italian Frette linens, towels and bathrobes, Australian luxury skin and haircare brand Aesop, Nespresso coffee machines, Dyson hairdryers, Japanese yukata sleepwear and 55-65in LG televisions equipped with Bose smart ultra-soundbars in suites.
Each room is anchored by custom-designed furnishings, with the iconic black-anthracite tones retained and complemented by a lighter shade of the hotel’s signature green carpet for a contemporary aesthetic. Accommodations range from serene guestrooms to expansive suites, including the introduction of the new Park Suite category (85sqm), featuring one king or two double beds, separate living and sleeping areas, dining tables for two to four guests, generous walk-in closets and views of Harajuku, Shibuya, Meiji Shrine and Yoyogi Park. Deluxe guestrooms (55sqm), located between the 42nd and 51st floors, offer one king or two double beds, walk-in closets, separate showers, deep soaking tubs, daybeds and city or Mt. Fuji views.
Deluxe
Specialty suites, ranging from 377 sqm to 290 sqm, include thoughtful features such as hinoki (cypress) pinewood or marble soaking tubs, steam or mist saunas, kitchens and dedicated entertainment areas. The most exclusive among them—the Tokyo, Diplomat and Presidential Suites—offer panoramic views of the Tokyo skyline, serving as private sanctuaries high above the city.
Girandole by Alain Ducasse
The hotel will introduce Girandole by Alain Ducasse in partnership with Ducasse Paris Group founded by the celebrated Michelin-starred chef and entrepreneur, Alain Ducasse. Brasserie elegance and everyday comfort are combined for a modern interpretation of classic Parisian and brasserie dishes, focusing on healthy cooking techniques. A unique gourmet breakfast will also be served which honors the traditions of French brasserie culture where friendship, connections and flair may be experienced throughout the day.
Upon arrival, guests will be welcomed by a new central culinary bar which is crafted from red Italian marble and black walnut. A versatile console, the bar will serve as an elegant breakfast station in the morning and transition throughout the day as a vibrant social hub offering craft cocktails and fine wines alongside elevated small bites and signature dishes. A warm, Parisian-inspired ambiance will feature white-linen tables, soft lighting, elegant wood accents and plush velvet cushions. Rich Bordeaux tones and warm orange hues set a refined atmosphere, while walnut and leather banquettes add comfort and style. The restaurant will preserve its mirrored walls and the iconic double-level collage of 144 black-and-white photographs by Vera Mercer, celebrating European café life and maintaining its unique character.
The Peak Lounge & Bar
The Peak Lounge & Bar, a serene retreat encased in a two-story soaring glass atrium and surrounded by a lush bamboo grove continues to offer the ideal city escape with an open and sociable setting. By day, it’s a destination for refined afternoon tea. By night, it transforms into a cocktail and lounge escape. With expanded sightlines and bespoke furnishings, the space offers a more intimate connection to Tokyo’s cityscape.
The space has a grounded, earthy feel as it is decorated with a warmer color palette and softer lighting. Subtle ochre and orange hues from the original marble create an ambiance that is intimate and formal—perfect for all occasions. The revitalized space encourages guests to pause and gather, offering stunning urban views and golden sunsets over Mt. Fuji by day. In the evening, the ambiance shifts with Japanese lantern-like lighting, a starlit sky and relaxing live acoustic music performances.
