I don't know where else to post this, but I figure this is where it fits...

I just went to see the new Austin Powers movie, and part of it was filmed in Tokyo. Some of "Tokyo" is clearly a set, but part of it is the real thing. In particular, I am intrigued by the scene where Austin Powers finds Mini-Me in a hotel room and starts beating him up. They are in some "hotel room". Anybody know where this was filmed? I know it was Tokyo because out the window one can clearly see the Park Hyatt Tokyo. I know they could have just pasted a picture of the building, but why that particular building?

It was also apparently a hotel room because there is a minibar in the room, and the refrigerator is your "typical" Japanese mini-fridge.

From the angle of the window, I'd imagine it was the Century Hyatt or the Hilton, but the rooms looked much nicer than the rooms at either.

Any clues?
