Frommer's Review

Located in West Shinjuku on the 39th to 52nd floors of Kenzo Tange's granite-and-glass Shinjuku Park Tower, the Park Hyatt has spurred lots of imitators since its 1994 opening, yet it remains among the most gorgeous and sophisticated hotels in Japan, a perfect reflection of high-tech, avant-garde Tokyo in the 21st century. If you can afford it, stay here. Check-in, on the 41st floor, is comfortably accomplished at one of three sit-down desks. Elevators reserved only for the guest-room floors offer privacy; if you do see other guests, they're likely to be celebs, fashion designers, or CEOs. Though it doesn't attract as much off-the-street foot traffic as Shinjuku's other hotels, the Park Hyatt's debut in Lost in Translation assures a steady stream of curious fans to its lounges and restaurants. Be sure to book early, therefore, for the 52nd-floor New York Grill, one of Tokyo's best restaurants, offering a spectacular setting. All rooms average at least 45 sq. m (484 sq. ft.) and have original artwork, stunning and expansive views (including Mt. Fuji on clear days), bathrooms to die for with deep tubs (plus separate showers), walk-in closets, remote-control curtains, and even Japanese/English dictionaries. Despite the competition posed by newer hotels such as the Mandarin Oriental and Ritz-Carlton, this hotel isn't worried, as it considers itself in a class of its own.

Facilities: 3 restaurants; 2 bars; lounge; health club w/fitness room and dramatic 20m. indoor swimming pool w/great views; spa (entrance fee: ¥4,200/$35/£18); concierge; free shuttle service to Shinjuku Station up to 3 times an hour; 24-hr. business center; salon; 24-hr. room service; in-room massage; babysitting; same-day laundry/dry-cleaning service; nonsmoking rooms; complimentary shoeshine; CD and book libraries.

In Rooms: A/C, wide-screen plasma TV w/cable and on-demand pay movies, CD/DVD player (w/free rentals), fax/printer, free wireless/dataport, minibar, hot-water pot w/tea and coffee, hair dryer, safe.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
