The long-awaited Park Hyatt Tokyo reopening is finally happening on December 9, 2025 after an extensive renovation that has luxury travelers watching closely. Made famous by Lost in Translation, this is more than just another hotel reopening. For many of us, it’s the return of one of the last truly original hotels in the world.
A Fresh Chapter for a Classic
When the Park Hyatt Tokyo closed in May 2024, Hyatt made it clear this would be a complete renewal. They brought in Studio Jouin Manku, a Paris-based design studio known for artistic, contemporary interiors. Their goal was to modernize the property while keeping the calm, cinematic spirit that made it legendary.
Reservations reopened on September 24, 2025, and rooms can now be booked with both cash and World of Hyatt points. Early rates are starting around USD 800 per night, depending on the season.
What’s New at the Park Hyatt Tokyo
Rooms and Suites
The hotel now has 171 rooms instead of 177, giving each room more space and flow. The new design focuses on natural wood, warm lighting, and wet-room bathrooms that mix marble with soft timber. The result is a more residential look that feels calm and distinctly Japanese.
A new Park Suite category has been added, offering views over Yoyogi Park, Meiji Shrine, and Shibuya. Some top suites include hinoki soaking tubs and steam saunas, perfect for winding down after a day in the city.
Dining
The biggest change with the Park Hyatt Tokyo reopening is Girandole by Alain Ducasse, a French-Japanese brasserie replacing the old Girandole. Longtime favorites like New York Grill & Bar and Kozue will return, refreshed but familiar. The Peak Lounge & Bar will also reopen with its glass atrium and bamboo grove, now lighter and airier.
Wellness
The famous Club on the Park spa and fitness center is being fully upgraded but will keep its incredible skyline views. Expect better facilities, a more refined look, and the same quiet atmosphere that’s made it one of Tokyo’s most relaxing escapes.
What’s Staying the Same
Hyatt knows the Park Hyatt Tokyo is not just another luxury hotel. The New York Grill & Bar will still have its live jazz, panoramic windows, and moody lighting. The public spaces — the library, the lounges, and the bar, will stay familiar, just more polished.
The designers have said they’ve kept the details that gave the hotel its soul, from the dark tones to the lighting and handcrafted accents. Those touches made the hotel feel alive in a way that most modern luxury properties don’t.

Rates for the Park Hyatt Tokyo reopening are starting around USD 800 to 900 per night, higher during cherry blossom season and the holidays.

Why the Park Hyatt Tokyo Reopening Matters
Tokyo has plenty of luxury hotels like Aman, Bulgari, and Four Seasons Otemachi, but none of them have ever felt like the Park Hyatt Tokyo. It had real personality. It was moody, cinematic, and full of quiet confidence.
That’s exactly why this renovation has people nervous. Most hotels today look the same — beige, white, and gray, with furniture that could be anywhere in the world. They photograph beautifully but often feel cold and lifeless in person. The Park Hyatt was never like that. It had warmth, depth, and atmosphere.
The big question now is whether Hyatt has managed to protect that feeling or if it’s been replaced with something more generic.
My Take
The Park Hyatt Tokyo has always been about emotion, not flash. It never tried to impress you with gold fittings or oversized lobbies. It impressed you by how it made you feel — and that’s something money can’t buy.
I’ll be honest, I’m nervous about this renovation. The Park Hyatt Tokyo had a personality that most hotels can only dream of. It wasn’t beige, it wasn’t minimal, and it didn’t chase trends. In a world where so many hotels have gone pale, gray, and soulless, the Park Hyatt still had richness and charm. It had depth, atmosphere, and that quiet mix of calm and melancholy that made it unforgettable.
That’s what people loved about it. It wasn’t perfect, but it was real. My hope is that Hyatt and the designers have been brave enough to keep that spirit alive. If they have, this will be the most meaningful hotel reopening in years — and it will remind everyone what true character in hospitality actually looks like.
