Park Hyatt Tokyo Reopens Following Major 19-Month Restoration

Park Hyatt Tokyo has reopened after a 19-month, property-wide restoration – the most comprehensive overhaul of the iconic hotel in its more than 30-year history. 

Led by Paris-based design studio Jouin Manku, planning took about four years, and construction lasted just over a year and a half. Now, Park Hyatt Tokyo boasts 171 completely redesigned guestrooms, restored public spaces, and new and elevated dining venues. 

“Our approach to Park Hyatt Tokyo was not to ask what should change, but to listen to what time had already revealed,” said Patrick Jouin, co-founding principal of Studio Jouin Manku. “Some elements needed to remain untouched, others elevated or softened—always with the gentleness owed to a place that listens and breathes.”   

Park Hyatt Tokyo first opened in 1994 as the first-ever Park Hyatt in Asia and helped redefine luxury in the city, occupying the upper 14 floors (39–52) of Shinjuku Park Tower, with its soaring glass atriums, intimate residential interiors, and sweeping views of Tokyo and Mt. Fuji. 

The renovations have thoughtfully reimagined all guest rooms and suites and brought them to the modern era. All accommodations have fluid layouts, tactile materials, and seamless wet-room bathrooms, as well as custom furnishings, magnolia leaf decoration, and Isamu Noguchi’s iconic washi lamps. 

Notably, Park Hyatt Tokyo now has a new Park Suite that features sizable its living and dining spaces, walk-in closets, and views of Harajuku, Shibuya, Meiji Shrine, and Yoyogi Park. It has also redesigned its Diplomat, Tokyo, Governor’s, and Presidential Suites. 

Included in the reopening is also the debut of a new restaurant, Girandole by Alain Ducasse, a partnership with Ducasse Paris Group and helmed by Chef de Cuisine Kojiro Tsutsumi, which will blend French and Japanese cooking styles. 

Other dining venues have been both elevated and restored: The Peak Lounge & Bar has new cocktail offerings, New York Grill & Bar has been renovated, and Delicatessen & Pastry Boutique will reopen in March 2026.  

“We have long looked forward to this moment, and now that it has arrived, we cannot help but to feel both humbled and incredibly proud,” said Fredrik Harfors, the hotel’s general manager. “For more than three decades, Park Hyatt Tokyo has held a special place in the hearts of guests … This restoration honors that legacy while looking ahead— warmer light, quieter forms, and thoughtfully revitalized dining, wellness, and social spaces that deepen the sense of calm and understated luxury the hotel is known for.”
