Hyatt Hotels has announced the reopening of Park Hyatt Tokyo following a 19-month restoration, marking the most comprehensive renewal in the landmark’s 30-year history.
Park Hyatt Tokyo opened in July, 1994 as the first Park Hyatt branded hotel in Asia, becoming an immediate landmark in the capital’s skyline. Occupying the upper 14 floors (39–52) of Shinjuku Park Tower, the hotel remains one of Tokyo’s most recognized symbols of modern sophistication. Designed by the late Pritzker Prize laureate Kenzo Tange, the three-tower complex—capped by its distinctive triangular peaks—pioneered the city’s mixed-use high-rise movement. Inside, interior designer John Morford envisioned a refined private residence atop Tange’s architectural masterpiece, combining steel, glass, and wood to create a calm, understated aesthetic.
