Urban dwellers in search of Zen-like tranquility will feel right at home at the Park Hyatt Tokyo.
This sanctuary of understated luxury occupies the top 14 levels of the elegant 52-level Shinjuku Park Tower,
which was designed by the late Dr. Kenzo Tange (1913-2005), an internationally acclaimed architect often
hailed as the father of modern Japanese architecture.
A favorite among film stars, CEOs and sophisticated travelers, this exclusive retreat is often booked several
weeks in advance. While it lies in the heart of Tokyo’s business and entertainment district, it also offers
unparalleled views extending all the way from the Kanto Plains to Mount Fuji – truly spectacular when you’re on
a treadmill at the hotel’s gym.
Another reason for the Park Hyatt Tokyo’s popularity lies in the fact that it’s specially designed to provide a
range of surprising visual experiences. For instance, when a guest enters the elevator at the ground level, the
lights are dim. However, by the time the doors open at the hotel lobby on the 41st level, one is greeted by a
reception area awash with natural light.
Despite the high-tech visual effects however, the hotel décor creates an all-encompassing aura of warmth and peace,
which is heightened by the deep green, brown and grey hues of the furnishings. The fine woodwork, hand-tufted carpets
and natural-fiber woven wall coverings add to its cozy appeal.
