Part 7. Tokyo – Park Hyatt Tokyo – Park Suite
After a few days at the Hyatt Regency we moved over to the infamous Park Hyatt Tokyo where I utilized the 2nd diamond suite upgrade. The PHT was kind enough to send over a car to help us move over from the HRT. While it is about a $5 cab fare, it was still a very nice gesture to send over their 745li. It was quite posh.
Upon arrival we were greeted by name and promptly escorted directly to the room for in suite check in. We entered the suite to be greeted by a chilled bottle of Louis Roederer Brut (not quite Dom, but still quite nice), the diamond amenity, and a small bouquet of flowers for my wife. All were very nice personal touches. I’m sure it was a combination of being “diamond” and “on our honeymoon” but YMMV of course.
The room is much nicer in person than they appear in photos. The minimalist décor and understated elegance really shines. This is no Grand Hyatt. The Grand Hyatt Tokyo seemed opulent and fancy, but the PHT exudes class. The suite was also incredibly large.
The service at the PHT is impeccable. IMPECCABLE. Yes it deserved to be repeated. I swear the staff were ninja-like. We never ONCE saw staff or housekeeping in the hallways etc. I believe there are side doors and hallways adjacent to the main hallway, which allows access to the rooms. We had gone for a very short swim, maybe 45 minutes and came back to the room to find it had already been cleaned with no staff in sight again.
There was one gentleman that was spraying each of the plant leaves in the atrium down with water and meticulously wiping down any dust from the leaves. This level of attention to detail was prevalent throughout the hotel.
Breakfast at the restaurant was quite nice, but I absolutely recommend in room breakfast. We had the breakfast delivered one of the mornings just as the sun was rising, and had wonderful views of Mt. Fuji. The croissant was undeniably one of the best I’ve ever eaten. Of all places, in Tokyo!
We spent our last night in Tokyo at the famous NY Bar listening to some jazz and sipping on Dom 2002.
Our last day in Tokyo was spent enjoying afternoon tea just before heading to the airport. The view of the park was nice from the atrium lounge.
Goodbye PHT!
