Sitting on top of Shinjuku Park Tower, the Park Hyatt Tokyo was the first western luxury hotel to open in Japan in 1994. Since then numerous celebrities have called the Park Hyatt home. Director Sofia Coppola loved the hotel so much that she made it a centerpiece in her award winning film Lost in Translation.
Rooms at the Park Hyatt Tokyo don’t run cheap, with rates during the peak Cherry Blossom season starting at a staggering $1000 a night. Instead I used 30,000 Hyatt Points to book a one night stay for my dad and me at this iconic hotel, with no additional cash payment required.
