The Park Hyatt Tokyo’s re-opening is official. Free award nights are avialable, and so are confirmed suites.

I have long loved, loved loved this property despite its somewhat inconvenient location and aging interiors. I’m excited to see the refresh in person.

Park Hyatt Tokyo re‑opens Tue, Decemeber 9, 2025. And it’s now open for booking after a long closure for property‑wide refresh that was led by Studio Jouin Manku. The design intent was to preserve John Morford’s “bones” while modernizing materials, layouts, and lighting. The hotel’s room count was reduced from 177 to 171.

New York Grill & Bar and Kozue are restored to their original designs. Both were outstanding venues.

New York Bar is where Scarlett Johansson and Bill Murray meet in Lost In Translation. He’s in Tokyo to endorse Suntory whiskey, and “the good news is, the whiskey works.”

I first visited Kozue 20 years ago as a ‘splurge’ at lunch. I had one of the best steaks in my life at New York Grill, dining there only because I needed to eat something and not go to bed early and jetlagged after a wonderful lunch at Jiro Roppongi.

The Library and Club On The Park also return. Girandole returns under Alain Ducasse and The Peak Lounge & Bar has been updated.

You’ll find entry rates around $800++ with a lot of seasonal variance. For opening night it’s much higher! But what’s great is that awards are much easier to come by right now, without meaningful forward bookings to speak of. The property is an award Category 8.

• Standard rooms price at 35,000, 40,000, and 45,000 points per night for off‑peak, standard, and peak.
  
• Standard suite awards price at 56,000, 61,000, and 66,000 points per night for off‑peak, standard, and peak.
  
• Premium suite awards price at 70,000, 80,000, and 90,000 points per night for off‑peak, standard, and peak.

You won’t see a lot of award availability in December, but starting to open up come mid-January. Starting at the end of that month, though, and out through end of booking window a year from now, you’ll find plenty of standard room awards including during peak times.

Confirmed Suite Upgrade Awards are booking into the Park Deluxe Suite. This appears to be the old Park Suite and is listed at 1,022 square feet. There’s also a new “Park Suite” category that appears to combine what were once two standard rooms and is about 5% larger.

Watch out for cancellation rules. Some dates appear to have a 14-day cancellation policy, and those apply on points just like they would paid rates.

The hotel occupies the 39th – 52nd floors of Kenzo Tange’s Shinjuku Park Tower, with horizon Mt. Fuji and skyline views when the air cooperates. Even in entry categories rooms are larger than average for the city, and modernized these should be fantastic.

Just go in knowing that the hotel is in west Shinjuku – a good walk to Shinjuku Station. It’s a quiet office building complex and not walk straight out into Tokyo’s hustle and bustle either, which has its upsides but isn’t as convenient as some properties especially for first-time tourists.

There aren’t a lot of properties I’m genuinely excited for, especially city hotels, but the Park Hyatt Tokyo is an exception. I’ve always found saying goodbye to the Park Hyatt Tokyo to be bittersweet. And with confirmed suite upgrades as well as a fantastic breakfast, it’s a fortunate place for World of Hyatt Globalists to stay while in Tokyo.
