The Park Hyatt Tokyo is one of the “holy grails” of award travelers. It’s an iconic property in an iconic city, and you can use points to stay there.

However, the hotel was showing its age in a big way, so it closed in early 2024 for a top-to-bottom renovation, which has been going on ever since.

We now know, however, that the hotel plans to be open for guests again in December of this year — here’s everything we know about the opening date and when you can make a reservation.

Park Hyatt Tokyo Will Reopen Before Year-End

According to reporting from LoyaltyLobby, the Park Hyatt Tokyo plans to reopen on December 9, 2025, and reservations will open on September 24. Upgraded Points has reached out to the hotel for confirmation, but we haven’t heard back as of publication time.

The renovation project dovetails with the hotel’s 30th anniversary celebration. First opened in 1994, the hotel boasts 171 guest rooms and 29 suites and is home to the famous New York Bar and Grill. And, of course, it was featured prominently in the 2003 hit film “Lost in Translation,” starring Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson.

It became a hotspot for award travelers, who praised it for its high level of service and “quiet luxury” vibes. However, as we entered the 2020s, it was clear the hotel was outdated and needed to reinvent itself to continue to compete with more modern luxury properties. Thus, it closed for a remodel in 2024.

Some photos of the updated guest rooms are available on the hotel’s website.

It appears that designers have maintained the atmosphere of quiet luxury while fully updating the guest rooms to today’s standards.

The new look of guest room bathrooms reflects a minimalist style that’s both luxurious and promotes a sense of calm.

We also know that the Park Hyatt Tokyo will be moving up from Category 7 to Category 8 in the World of Hyatt award chart. Category 8 is the highest tier on the chain’s award chart, and award nights cost 35,000 points on off-peak nights, 40,000 on standard nights, and 45,000 points on peak nights.

If your balance is lacking, you can earn World of Hyatt points in various ways, though the easiest is likely to transfer them from Chase Ultimate Rewards and/or Bilt Rewards at a 1:1 ratio, along with earning rewards from Hyatt’s co-branded credit cards.

Final Thoughts

The Park Hyatt Tokyo will reopen after many months of renovations in early December. While we don’t know what cash rates will look like just yet, we know that it will become a Category 8 property, so we can expect pricey stays if you’re paying with cash.

We can’t wait to check out the reinvented property for ourselves as soon as possible! The photos look incredible.
