Park Hyatt Tokyo Reopens After a 19-Month Renovation: Here’s Why It’s a Top Hyatt Points Redemption
The iconic Park Hyatt Tokyo has officially reopened after a 19-month, top-to-bottom renovation, restoring one of Tokyo’s most legendary luxury hotels to its former glory, now with a modern refresh.
Famous for its skyline views, serene atmosphere, and its role in Lost in Translation, the hotel’s update focused on elevating guest rooms, public spaces, and dining while preserving the calm, residential feel that made it a classic. Think refreshed interiors, upgraded finishes, and even better views over Shinjuku and Mount Fuji on clear days.
Why This Is an Incredible Use of Hyatt Points
Park Hyatt Tokyo sits at the top tier of Hyatt’s award chart, making it one of the best luxury redemptions in the entire program.
Typical cash rates: Often $900–$1,500+ per night
Points required: 35,000 - 45,000 Hyatt points per night
Value: Easily 2–3+ cents per point on many dates
For Hawaii travelers planning a Japan trip, this is exactly the kind of redemption where points dramatically outperform cash, especially for honeymoons, anniversaries, or once-in-a-lifetime trips.

Scottie’s Take
