Park Hyatt Tokyo Returns This Year with New Guestrooms, Dining by Alain Ducasse and Signature Spaces Intact

Few hotels carry the same mystique for luxury travelers, cinephiles, and yours truly alike as Park Hyatt Tokyo, the Shinjuku landmark made famous by “Lost in Translation.”

After closing in May 2024 for a comprehensive property-wide refinement, the first Park Hyatt in Asia will officially reopen on December 9, 2025, with reservations opening September 24.

Occupying the top floors of Shinjuku Park Tower, the 171-room hotel has reduced its key count from 177 and introduced a new Park Suite category. The refresh includes redesigned guestrooms and suites, restored public spaces and enhanced dining venues. Signature outlets such as New York Grill & Bar, Kozue, and Club On The Park spa return intact, while the newly introduced Girandole by Alain Ducasse brings a Parisian brasserie sensibility to Tokyo.

“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,” said General Manager Fredrik Harfors in a statement. “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.”

Design Evolution

Led by Paris-based Studio Jouin Manku, the redesign builds upon John Morford’s original interiors with custom furnishings, softened layouts, and lighter tones of the hotel’s signature green carpet. Bathrooms now resemble Japanese wet rooms, blending marble and wood, while suites feature amenities such as hinoki soaking tubs, steam saunas, and entertainment-ready living spaces.

“We hope that when guests return, they will feel at ease and recognize the hotel’s spirit, while also sensing a renewed energy,” said Patrick Jouin, designer and co-owner of Studio Jouin Manku. “It’s like a film remake: the same story, reinterpreted by different generations.”

Culinary and Social Spaces

Girandole by Alain Ducasse will anchor the property’s culinary evolution, serving refined brasserie dishes and a gourmet breakfast in a warm, Parisian-inspired setting accented by walnut, leather banquettes, and Mercer’s iconic photo collage. A new central marble bar will transition from morning service to an evening social hub.

Meanwhile, The Peak Lounge & Bar retains its dramatic glass atrium and bamboo grove while adding warmer tones and expanded sightlines. The space will continue to serve afternoon tea, cocktails, and host live acoustic performances against views of Mt. Fuji by day and Tokyo’s skyline by night.

A Cultural Touchstone Returns

For travelers, Park Hyatt Tokyo’s reopening is more than a luxury debut—it’s the revival of a cultural touchstone. The property’s blend of cinematic aura, timeless design, and new-world luxury ensures it remains one of Tokyo’s most coveted addresses.

Reservations open September 24 at 12 p.m. Japan time.
