"Occupying the top fourteen floors of the magnificent Shinjuku Park Tower, Park Hyatt Tokyo boasts relaxing rooms with to-die-for views – those facing Mount Fuji are particularly stunning."

In the heart of Japan’s capital, the magnificent Shinjuku Park Tower soars high above the city streets. Made famous by the movie Lost in Translation, the iconic building (the second tallest in the district it’s named for) is home to the Park Hyatt Tokyo hotel. Taking up the top fourteen floors of the enormous glass tower, this hotel offers to-die-for views in a calm, relaxing environment.

Despite the size of the building it resides within, the hotel has just 177 rooms (23 of which are suites). The rooms are beautiful but not particularly opulent; rather, the luxury stems from their comfort and the stunning views they provide. Accommodations are spacious and decorated with original artwork and a curated assortment of hardcover books. Bathrooms have deep soaking tubs and Aesop toiletries, and all rooms have coffee makers. While you can’t go wrong with a view of the city or Kanto Plain, ask for a Mount Fuji-facing room; on a clear day, the volcanic views are breathtaking.

For dinner and drinks with a dramatic panorama, the hotel’s New York Grill can be found on the 52nd floor. Live jazz plays almost every night, and the food is decadent. Another restaurant, Kozue, has an excellent sake collection and a seasonal menu of hearty dishes that changes every two weeks. Girandole serves brasserie-style French cuisine in addition to a breakfast buffet, the Pastry Boutique offers tempting greats and afternoon tea and cocktails can be enjoyed in the Peak Lounge and bamboo garden.

The sprawling Club on the Park (occupying floors 45 and 47), is the hotel’s destination for all things spa and fitness. There you’ll find a swimming pool with floor-to-ceiling windows, an aerobics studio with a variety of classes, plunge pools, whirlpools and dry and wet saunas. Note that guests have complimentary access to Club on the Park, but using spa facilities incurs additional fees.

Despite its hushed and contemplative atmosphere, the hotel welcomes families and provides amenities for children like pyjamas and toys.

A 12-minute walk from the hotel will get you to the numerous bars, restaurants and shops that surround Shinjuku station. Also within walking distance are the Juniso Kumano Shrine and Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery. If you’re willing to wander a bit further, Tokyo Imperial Palace is just over five miles away; pay it a visit before returning to the tranquillity of the hotel.
