How did it strike you on arrival?
Hotel aficionados drool over Park Hyatt Tokyo; it’s not the newest, nor splashiest, but it’s among the more rarified originals to which other hotels aspire. Rising through the 39th and 52nd floors of a glassy skyscraper in Shinjuku, the hotel quickly eases into the space with soft lights and handsome interiors that, although it opened over two decades ago, feel timeless.

What’s the crowd like?
Fans of Park Hyatt alongside romanced first-timers (plus, anyone who’s seen Lost in Translation).

The good stuff: Tell us about your room.
Born in the '90s, the style is immaculately maintained. Deluxe rooms are spacious with neutral, textured wallpaper, soft wall-to-wall turquoise-green carpet, and panoramic windows framing a scintillating Shinjuku (or, with luck, Mount Fuji on the horizon). The decor is clean-edged, and an upholstered bed frame—matching the carpet—is bookended with electric paper lanterns, all refreshingly spare.

We’re craving some deep, restorative sleep. They got us?
Extra-wide beds, tucked with ironed sheets, can seem hilariously large—though no one is complaining.

Please tell us the bathroom won’t let us down.
The aroma of parsley seed, rosemary leaf, and bergamot mint refresh the bathrooms thanks to Aesop toiletries. There are shiny surfaces all-around, from granite tiled stand-up showers to the mirrors surrounding the sink, but there are eclectic touch-ups, too: Framed art hangs above the tub, and gold and white checkered floors are a pure novelty.

Maybe the most important topic of all: Wi-Fi. What’s the word?
Wi-Fi is everywhere and anywhere it’s needed (at no extra cost).

Room service: Worth it?
Room service is available, at the price you might expect at a five-star hotel, but why aren't you eating at one of the hotel’s brilliant restaurants?

Anything stand out about other services and features? Whether it’s childcare, gyms, spas, even parking—whatever stuck with you.
The fare at the high-up New York Grill is so rich and so worth it, and yes, it’s the same venue famously featured in Lost in Translation.

Bottom line: worth it, and why?
Unless you're looking for contemporary with a capital C, it's worth every dime to stay at this handsome classic.
