Park Hyatt, Tokyo
For the uninitiated, the Park Hyatt Tokyo is best known as the setting for the Sofia Coppola film starring Bill Murray, featuring sweeping panoramic views of Tokyo. For former guests, the Park Hyatt represents the ultimate in luxurious spaciousness and convenience in the bustling Shinjuku district. Upon check-in on the 41st floor, guests encounter the attentive staff, more than ready to assist with questions related to moving about the city or in arranging specific activities. Once you enter the guest rooms, it becomes abundantly clear why the hotel is such a favorite. The rooms are enormous by any standard, and particularly for Tokyo where space comes at a premium. In addition, the bathrooms are simply wonderful and almost a spa unto themselves. When you are ready to leave your room, it’s an enjoyable move to one of the three acclaimed restaurants, including the New York Grill, featuring world-class fare and entrancing live jazz.
