This is going to be amazing for a certain subset of you. The Grand Hyatt Tokyo has special “Pokémon Sleep” rooms for a limited time, July 1 through September 1, 2024.
Your stay will integrate an immersive adventure inspired by the Pokémon game with options for a standard room or suite styled after the game’s Greengrass Isle, features a grass-like carpet, plants, and a small tent.
It will be adorned with a near life-sized Snorlax plush and other Pokémon-themed decorations such as Pikachu. While these decorative items aren’t for keeps, guests take amenities including a backpack, a large T-shirt, a mini wellness bag with herbal tea and bath salts, and a mini bottle. Rooms include four types of “Chewy Plush Pokémon Sleep” toys.

The standard room features a giant Snorlax towel blanket on the bed and a peaceful sleeping Pikachu, alongside a tote bag and big T-shirt. Guests in this room can also enjoy breakfast in the hotel’s French kitchen, which includes a buffet with pancakes branded with Snorlax and Pikachu.

The Pokémon Sleep experience at Grand Hyatt Tokyo is either the most amazing – or creepy – thing that I’ve ever seen. Which side you come down on says a lot about you, I think?
I just messaged my daughter and asked if she wanted me to book her a room for a night since she lives in Tokyo. From what I see on the website it’s about $2k for a suite. She was into Pokémon growing up. We used to drop her off at a game shop on Saturdays where they would meet up and play. She kept talking about a group of guys she made friends with so one Saturday I went in to meet them expecting a gathering of nerds. They were three guys from the 160th (Night Stalkers) out of Ft. Campbell. Not what I was expecting.
Sorry to say this is ” sleep experience ” is my nightmare.
I’m not into Pokémon but I am into other fictional things like American Psycho.
I would be thrilled with a hotel room adorned with water activated gel cleaners, honey almond body scrubs, and aftershave lotions with no alcohol. The room should include a dinner reservation at the city’s most coveted restaurant. The room rate should also include the price of 2 escorts, a foam axe, several pints of fake blood, and waived incidental damage fees.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to return some videotapes.
Do you get to keep the blush Pokemon, or are they like pillows that you’re supposed to leave for the next customer behind you?
