【Best Value Choice|Park Hyatt Tokyo】Classics Never Go Out of Style


In Asia, the consensus seems to be "stay in new hotels, not old ones," but Park Hyatt Tokyo is a notable exception. Just days before it temporarily closed for renovation last year, I flew from Beijing to Tokyo for a short vacation. The British guy at the front desk took me through a large area to the check-in spot, chatting extensively about the renovation schedule and work arrangements. The entire process showed none of the fatigue often seen in Japan’s service industry post-pandemic.

💛 Although it has been open for thirty years, the hotel’s guest rooms and public areas are exceptionally well maintained. True luxury lies not in piling up hardware but in the meticulous craftsmanship and sincere service of the hotel staff. Classics don’t need to chase trends because Park Hyatt Tokyo is the trend itself.

💚 In the afternoon, a steady stream of Tokyo’s elite ladies and old money enjoy the Harry Winston collaboration afternoon tea at the Lounge bar. Holding the complimentary drink voucher from the hotel, having a couple of drinks with friends at this time is quite pleasant, then heading to the reserved restaurant for dinner later.

💙 As night falls, returning to the hotel to rest. Park Hyatt Tokyo is serene amidst the dazzling neon lights of Shinjuku. Amid the shifting lights and shadows, the laughter and joy at the New York bar make it feel like time has reversed to the Showa era of Japan’s rapid economic growth.

💜 The next morning, a Japanese breakfast is delivered to the room by a server pushing a cart. Drawing back the curtains, the view of Mount Fuji unfolds before your eyes, refreshing the spirit. The meal itself isn’t particularly spectacular, but the view of Mount Fuji outside more than makes up for it.

💕 In a few months, Park Hyatt Tokyo will be reborn as C8. The value of a hotel has never been about "new or old," but whether it can become a coordinate in time and space. After renovation, the brand-new Park Hyatt will carry new stories, the unique atmosphere of that era, and will forever be etched in the memories of its guests. #ParkHyatt #TokyoHotel #TokyoGuide
