Park Hyatt Tokyo returns with Alain Ducasse restaurant after redesign

The Shinjuku landmark reopens in December 2025 with redesigned rooms and suites, refreshed public spaces and the debut of Girandole by Alain Ducasse

Park Hyatt Tokyo, the brand’s first property in Asia and a Shinjuku landmark since 1994, will reopen on 9 December 2025 following an 18-month property-wide redesign, with reservations now open.

Occupying the upper floors of Kenzo Tange’s Shinjuku Park Tower, the hotel has been reimagined by Paris design studio Jouin Manku, who worked to preserve John Morford’s original interiors while introducing contemporary touches. The project spans guestrooms and suites, event venues, and dining destinations – including the arrival of Girandole by Alain Ducasse.

“As we celebrate more than three decades of welcoming guests to Park Hyatt Tokyo, this refinement represents both a homecoming and the beginning of a new chapter,” said General Manager Fredrik Harfors.

Rooms and suites

The hotel now offers 171 accommodations, down from 177, creating larger layouts and introducing the new Park Suite category. Interiors are lighter in tone but retain the hotel’s signature anthracite accents and green carpets. Japanese-inspired bathrooms feature marble and wood finishes, deep soaking tubs and walk-in showers. Amenities include Frette linens, Aesop bath products, Dyson hairdryers, Bose soundbars and yukata sleepwear.

Specialty suites, from the 123-square-metre Diplomat Suite to the 290-square-metre Presidential Suite, include features such as hinoki pine soaking tubs, mist saunas and kitchens, alongside panoramic views across the city to Mt Fuji.

Dining

The headline addition is Girandole by Alain Ducasse, a brasserie-style restaurant created in partnership with Ducasse Paris Group. French cooking techniques are paired with lighter, health-focused preparation, while the design features a new central red marble culinary bar and Bordeaux-toned interiors. Vera Mercer’s double-height collage of 144 black-and-white photographs remains as a focal point.

Other dining venues return with refreshed interiors: New York Grill & Bar, Kozue for modern Japanese, and The Peak Lounge & Bar, set within a two-storey glass atrium and bamboo grove with views to Mt Fuji and the Tokyo skyline.

Public spaces and wellness

Event venues, The Library and Club On The Park spa have been restored and updated, while Club On The Park continues to offer a pool, gym and holistic spa treatments on the upper floors with expansive city views.
