Park Hyatt Tokyo has it all – Modern luxury, service, artistic touches, and the views!
When trying to decide where to stay in Tokyo, there are plenty of options – especially with five star hotels. However, after staying at the Park Hyatt Tokyo, it deserves recognition at the top of the list.
Location:
We arrived at NRT airport and took the Narita Express to the Shinjuku station. This is a nice, direct train that takes 75 minutes. When arriving at the station, you walk upstairs to get a taxi to the hotel. This is a 10-minute ride depending on traffic. You can also arrange with the Concierge at the Park Hyatt Tokyo for a luxury bus from the station. This takes a bit longer, as they make a few stops at other nearby hotels. The Park Hyatt is centrally located in an upscale business area. Yoyogi Park and the Meiji Shrine are about 35-minute walk from the hotel entrance. This beautiful park is right in the city.
Rooms:
The rooms and suites are located on the top 14 floors of the 52 story tall building. The rooms are designed to maximize the outstanding views. The small parlor and bedroom area of our room had magnificent views of the city. The design of the room is sleek modern. Our room was beautifully decorated with eclectic touches of art throughout the room. The bed was extremely comfortable and well situated to enjoy the views. There were controls located near the bed for the curtains and lights for those preferring a completely dark room at night. There was also an oversized closet big enough to hold plenty of hanging clothes and situate your suitcase for easy access.
Bathroom:
The bathroom was done in marble and had a sink with plenty of counter space. There was a small TV situated next to the sink. Our oversized soaking tub had a wonderful window with views of the Tokyo sky line to enjoy while taking a bath. The toilet with all the controls is always a plus for this traveler as most hotels don’t have them. The separate shower was on the smaller side but had wonderful water pressure which made for a nice shower experience. I also enjoyed the shower features with a couple of different shower nozzles. The bathroom was quite clean and well maintained. The amenities were a special touch which included comb, toothbrush, shaving kit, cotton swabs, nail kit, etc.
Linens:
The linens were what you would expect at the Park Hyatt level. They were plush and luxurious. The comfortable robes, bed linens, and towels were all of a fine quality.
Gym and Spa:
The gym and spa at this hotel are a highlight. The spa area is beautiful. It must be experienced during your stay. It is quite large and the woman’s locker room and sauna area are designed for rest and relaxation. There were plenty of amenities for putting yourself back together after enjoying the spa and gym area. The pool is also a “must see” as it sits under a beautiful window atrium on the 47th floor with amazing views of Tokyo. I didn’t have the time or opportunity to swim in the pool, but it is really elegant at night.
Staff:
The staff were all very polite and extremely helpful and accommodating. We found all interactions with the staff to be pleasant.
Views:
The views from this hotel are fabulous. On the top floor, you must try the New York Bar which is widely known for being featured in the movie “Lost In Translation”. It is a touristy experience as it is quite popular because of this, but still cannot be missed as it has its own charm. The expansive art work and views in the bar and restaurant are really worth seeing.
Final Thoughts:
I found my experience to be of five-star quality. I have seen online that there have been a few complaints about the property needing renovation. I quite honestly couldn’t see this during my stay and felt the rooms and the common areas were all up to date and reflected an understated elegance. I was completely satisfied with my stay and as such will be looking forward to the next opportunity I have to stay here. I feel confident in stating that this is a Five Star property.
5StarTip🌟: For Gold Passport Diamond Members, here is some information for you!
If you are a Gold Passport Diamond member and are wondering about the amenities, the Park Hyatt Tokyo does a nice job of treating their Diamond members very well. We had dedicated staff that escorted us directly to the room. They checked us in from the room which was a nice experience. We were offered a delightful amenity of champagne and chocolates. They were delivered to our room. I appreciated the complimentary drinks and small appetizers at the Peak Bar Lounge for Diamond members. This was offered from 5:00 to 7:30 p.m. This was a great perk and one I hope they will continue, as it made a very positive impression. Also included was a breakfast buffet at the Girandole restaurant. The buffet was a wide assortment of traditional breakfast fare and some local food options as well. You can also order a la carte egg dishes. Diamond members are also granted access to the spa facilities and gym.
Park Hyatt Tokyo rates an Always5Star: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Cheers!
