In May 2024, the Park Hyatt Tokyo closed, so that it could undergo a major renovation. There’s now an exciting update, as the hotel has just started accepting reservations again, for its opening as of December 2025.
Park Hyatt Tokyo reopening December 9, 2025
The Park Hyatt Tokyo is expected to reopen as of December 9, 2025, with reservations now being available.
Since the spring of 2024, the hotel has been undergoing a full renovation, including of public areas and guest rooms. The hotel first opened in 1994, so this renovation coincides with the property’s 30th anniversary. The hotel has 200 accommodations, including 177 rooms and 23 suites.
Design agency Jouin Manku has been leading this projected, and released the following statement when work on the property began:
“We are sincerely grateful that our studio has been given the rare opportunity to renovate Park Hyatt Tokyo and set the stage for this prestigious hotel’s much-anticipated future. We are excited to work with the hotel team to create a uniquely elegant design experience for guests, all in keeping with John Morford’s original vision. We thank the Park Hyatt Tokyo team for the trust they have placed in us.”
The Park Hyatt Tokyo has been pretty tight-lipped about what we can expect with the renovations, with the first pictures of the refreshed property having just been released within the past week. For example, below are the first pictures of the new deluxe room, which is a spacious 484 square feet (45 square meters)…
And below are the first pictures of a standard suite, which measures 915 square feet (85 square meters).
Park Hyatt Tokyo rates & points requirements
With the Park Hyatt Tokyo now being bookable, what are rates like? For those redeeming points, this is a Category 8 World of Hyatt property, meaning a free night redemption in a standard room costs 35,000-45,000 points per night. Meanwhile a free night redemption in a standard suite costs 56,000-66,000 points per night.
Cash rates at the Park Hyatt Tokyo currently start at around 120,000 JPY (800 USD) per night, and that’s before taxes and fees. However, there’s quite a bit of seasonal variation, and as you’d expect, rates are highest in the spring and fall, with the lowest rates being in the winter.
If you are looking to book a cash stay here, I’d recommend doing so through the Hyatt Privé program, which offers extra perks like room upgrades, complimentary breakfast, and a hotel credit.
I can’t wait to return to the Park Hyatt Tokyo!
The Park Hyatt Tokyo is an iconic hotel, in particular because it appeared in many scenes of the movie “Lost in Translation.” However, before undergoing a renovation, there’s no denying that the hotel was a bit past its prime, including with things like in-room technology.
It’s a shame that the hotel didn’t take the opportunity to undergo a renovation during the peak of the pandemic, when Japan’s borders were mostly closed to foreigners. Rather, it has been happening at a time when Japan is seeing a huge number of visitors.
Admittedly a lot of businesses have had the same issue — they just didn’t know how the pandemic would play out, and/or didn’t have the money (or didn’t want to spend the money) to make major changes.
I can’t wait to stay at this hotel again when it reopens. Based on the pictures of the updated property, it looks like they’ve done a good job maintaining the essence of the hotel, while making it more modern. I’m not sure I love the beige colors based on the pictures, but maybe they look nicer in person. I’m just happy they didn’t go for some super modern, generic design, since that wouldn’t have fit with this property’s vibe.
Bottom line
The Park Hyatt Tokyo is expected to reopen in December 2025, after a renovation of around 19 months, and it’s now accepting reservations. I look forward to this property reopening, as it’s truly such an incredible, unique hotel. There’s something about the vibe of this place that can’t otherwise be described and that’s unmatched, which makes it among my favorite in the world.
Anyone else excited about the Park Hyatt Tokyo reopening?
