An elevator whisks you to the 41st floor, where the hotel—immortalized in the 2003 film Lost in Translation—begins with an atrium lounge enclosed on three sides by floor-to-ceiling plate-glass windows. The panorama of Shinjuku, gaudy as it can be in the daytime, spreads out in front. Check-in formalities take place at sit-down desks, reached by a pleasant walk through an extensive library. Service is efficient and personal, and the mood of the hotel is contemporary and understated to give a home-away-from-home feel. King-size beds have Egyptian-cotton sheets and down-feather duvets; other appointments include an in-bath TV visible from the tub, black-lacquer cabinets, and huge plasma-screen TVs. Among the hotel's several restaurants is the popular New York Grill, with its open kitchen and steak-and-seafood menu.

This is one special place. Have stayed at this property for meetings, and mid-to-late January has always been a particularly special time : never too terribly crowded and on certain days, such clear, crisp views. ... And, the hotel's 'spa' has always been most accommodating with arranging for in-room massage treatments. Much appreciated after a long flight (ideally, with those sensational Singapore Girls); advance booking advised. ... Thank you, Park Hyatt staff; you - are wonderful.
