I just had the chance to spend a couple of nights at the 171-key Park Hyatt Tokyo, a stay I booked at the last minute with World of Hyatt points.
For some background, the Park Hyatt Tokyo is probably the most famous Hyatt property in the world, as it was featured in “Lost in Translation,” and has a bit of a cult following. I’ve loved my stays there in the past, and the hotel has just undergone a 19-month renovation, intended to breathe new life into the property, coinciding with its 30th anniversary.
I couldn’t wait to check out the hotel shortly after its reopening, to see just how significant the changes are. Is the hotel better than ever before, did it lose the old vibe that made it special, or what? While there are a few things I didn’t love (as is the case with any hotel), by and large I think this is an exceptional property that’s absolutely worth staying at, especially if you’re in the Hyatt ecosystem.
While I’ll have a full review soon, in this post I’d like to share some initial thoughts on my stay…
In this post:
Perhaps that’s intentional, so that the rest of the facilities can shine, because otherwise there would’ve been too much going on? I dunno. For what it’s worth, I was in a deluxe room, one level above the entry room category.
The Park Hyatt restaurants and bars are legendary, good as ever
The Park Hyatt Tokyo has an unbelievably strong food & beverage game, and to me, that’s really what sells this place. Yes, of course one doesn’t always want to eat or drink in hotels (especially in Tokyo, probably my favorite food city in the world), but still, there’s something nice about having some spots with a vibe, especially when they’re also frequented by non-guests.
