The Nespresso machines that were previously only available in the suites are now in every room! ^

Normally I'd be with you on the big ^, but does that mean the cool little ceramic filter coffee things are gone now?

Update - stayed in a suite early November and the filter coffee is indeed gone, just the Nespresso now.

If no one knows by mid-October, I will be in-house and try to remember to check. I expect the electric hot water carafe will still be there as it is needed to make tea.

Affirmative.

Awesome. That's great to hear of the awesome service you encountered there. I really like the idea about you wanting to learn origami (I'll add that to my list as well ), and them teaching you themselves.

Also, I would agree about the limo bus. For 3,000 JPY and service direct from door-to-door, without having to haul luggage around, what could you really complain about? I see no advantage in arranging for a private car, or limo, other than if the limo bus stopped running due to your arrival time. But, thanks for the report.

In all my stays, I have not taken the shuttle to or from Shinjuku station if I have baggage even though I know where the stop is. I always take a cab. It rarely costs more than the flag drop of Y710. You're staying at a luxury hotel, so gift yourself this one inexpensive additional luxury.

The best way to learn how to find the shuttle stop is to ride it TO the station the first time. It is farther away than I would like but space around Shinjuku station is scarce. The Park Tower building plus the Park Hyatt were late arrivals on the scene, all closer stops had already been snapped up.

I don't find a taxi to be a luxury. Many in Japan have cigarette smoke smell that really bothers me (while smoking - by customers - isn't permitted, many drivers often smoke in the cab with the window down when they have no fare, and I can later smell it). Also, I assemble my roller and backpack and suit bag in such a way that I prefer to just keep it all connected and standing, as I can on a bus or shuttle or train, versus taking it all apart and putting it in the trunk of a taxi.

Still, I appreciate your point in your post (and always appreciate the information of your posts)... but just wanted to comment that it's not a matter of a luxury.

Here is a potential add to the PHT Wiki about a non-obvious service available to hotel guests:

Calming vistas of the Tokyo skyline are complemented with a combination of aroma oils, tailored for each season and designed to promote circulation, help digestion and relieve the body of stress. Warm herbal tea completes the encompassing experience, softly guiding one to a Good Night Sleep.

I stayed at Park Hyatt for the first time this August. I can say this place is brilliant on so many levels. There are so many things to list... I see what I can remember. I read the not too positive rants about this establishment, lets cut this hotel some slack, it is one of the best hotels in Tokyo and the world right?

1. Park Hyatt Spa. The turkish bath meets Japanese onsen concept totally works and is very original. The spa is better than that at Park Hyatt Seoul. The feel is better with attendant helping you and introducing the Spa. The lounge area is nice to relax.

2. The design is timeless and subtle. I love the use of green cloth lining the corridors and walls. This is a touch which is original and breath-taking cool. It goes very well with the ceiling spotlights.

I have so many photos of this place but I dont think I can link to my tumblr or instagram in my post. You can look for wikichichi.

3. Complimentary Coffee. As a member of the membership club, you get complimentary coffee through the day. We are very particular about coffee. Where we are from, our local coffeeshop roasted coffee is very smooth and flavourful. I just cannot take the nesexpresso coffee and stuff from the little cups. We must have gone through 6 pots of coffee. It ends up that comlimentary coffee is for 1 night stay. The hotel ended charging us for 1 pot instead of the 6 or 7 that we drank through the day. This is a good gesture nonetheless.

ha... this is the mid day room romp? I will imagine that this is something the Japanese "old money" gentleman will take up for a mid day escape with his lovely young girlfriend. In the New York Bar, I saw an old Japanese gentleman, clad in suit with a nice pocket square, bringing a girl out for the night and some cocktails.

Interesting, sounds like they've formalized how they manage to end up with 120% occupancy. I think you misunderstand the situation. You may not know, but in Japan "Take your Daughter to Work" is a big deal, and happens year round. Those Japanese old coots with eye candy aren't what you think, you really should take your mind out of the gutter!

Just had a great stay in Suite 4232 at PH Tokyo.

haha... Thanks for the timely reminder.

I do say that as Asians, from young, we are exposed to how *kinky and *driven Japanese are!! They lead the trends!!

wikichichi

120%!! haha. Its a good strategy.

That being said, I have a feeling Park Hyatt is feeling the heat from the other luxury hotels in Tokyo. IMHO Its location is its disadvantage! What do the seniors in this forum and frequent Tokyo visitors say?
