I am staying here right now, i haven't stayed here b4 so im not certain what was change other than signage. The rooms look as pictured on hyatt.com. Not really impressed with this place at all, but i do believe you get what you pay for here at least in Japan.

Hotel room was pretty average but I could not get over what an incredible value the hotel is for Tokyo. The room reminds of some of the U.S. Hyatts before the were renovated however the bedding was firm but new which is most important to me (I would prefer soft however). RC is fairly spacious and they offer a few very light appts. in the evening. Enough to lightly sample a few different things but not even close to enough to skip dinner. Don't expect to get full in the RC but I guess that is not really the point of a RC now is it? Stop into the RC during the afternoon and they offer some delicious pastries and light treats.
Now the area right around the hotel during the day drove us crazy. It was surreal - like invasion of the body snatchers or something. Hundreds of Japanese ALL dressed exactly the same in suits walked around like drones. Very interesting but extremely uncomfortable but I guess how can I criticize thousands of years of Japanese tradition. I use to prefer the interesting area around the Shinjuku train station but it has become so pushy with people trying to sell strip shows etc. that I don't like it anymore. They don't take no for an answer and follow you up the street. I must look like some sex starved American or something but I truely have no interest but they don't seem to believe me. I was amazed at how good the area around the Grand Hyatt Tokyo has become, even in the last year, and will probably choose that in the future.

Stayed here last week.

A few of the restaurants are undergoing renovations and will be shut down until the end of March 2008. The Chinese restaurant (Jade Garden) although not under renovation could certainly do with one!

Open weekends too ... But it's not the tallest building in Japan.... not even the tallest in Tokyo. (It's #7 in Japan and #2 in Tokyo).

How is the renovation at the Hyatt Tokyo? Will be in town for 3 days. Thanks.

Greetings from Tokyo.
Although all restaurants and bars have been resumed its operations, the hotel started a extensive guest room renovation, meaning you may hear some noise. If you are a Gold Passport member, be sure to provide your membership number when making reservations and you will be automatically assigned, when available but in most cases, a room on the renovated GP floors on level 21 to 25. Diamond members will be upgraded, if available and sometimes upon request, to the renovated Regency Club floors on level 6 to 9.

GP floor rooms feature some upgraded in-room amenities like bathrobes and personal slippers, and better view. Also, there is a GP breakfast lounge on level 6 serving coffee/tea and some bread during the breakfast hours, and "working rooms" are available on level 24/25 with a small meeting table and a complimentary copy machine and basic office supply.

Enjoy your stay in Tokyo!

I stayed at this property before the renovations and am in the property now, after. The skeleton keys have been replaced with plastic keys with magnetic strips. The rooms are updated. As a Diamond I was upgraded to a Regency Club room. For Tokyo they seem quite spacious. Besides a very large bed there is also a work desk, coffee table, sofa and chair.

The 9th floor Regency Club lounge is open. It is pretty large with three main sitting areas. The drink selection during the cocktail hours is pretty good. Champagne, wine, Campari, Cassis and some other liquors. The hor d'oeuvres are ok but not sufficient to be considered a replacement for dinner. Looking forward to seeing how breakfast compares to breakfast during the previous stay.

I've got an upcoming lengthy stay here in a week; I've stayed here many times pre-renovation, and just realized that this might affect me. Anyone stayed there recently have any comments on how much disturbance there is? Is the RC still open? As a Diamond, any tips on which are now the "best available" rooms to ask for given the renovations are in progress?

Also, anyone know what the e-mail address is for this hotel? The [email protected] which is on their website keeps getting rejected:

The lounge was just renovated so you shouldn't have a problem. Can't help you with the rooms.

I got a regular, half-renovated room, whatever that means. But at least I have access to RC.

Free internet in rooms though ! ^

Last night I found out that all the restaurants except the Coffee House close at 930pm !

Letter from management advises that major renovation will take place on floors 6-9 which will be closed off from Jan - Mar 2009. Which means no RC Lounge.

I've stayed here and also in the Royal Park at Suitengumae. Both had free Internet! ^

While I was there all the restaurants were closed by the health department. There is a Denny's nearby.

Since you are there, can you verify that the lounge will not be accessible? If this is the case I'll likely stay elsewhere during this period.

Guy Betsy

Well, that's what the front desk was trying to tell me which I found odd since its still december! I'll find out which outlet you can use when I return to the HR in 10 days'.

I just finished my stay here, overall it was very nice and on-par with previous visits. I received a Diamond upgrade to an RC room on the 7th floor with a pretty poor view. One thing I was wondering is why, as part of the renovations, they don't move the club and RC rooms to the top floors (which are now considered "Gold Passport" floors)? Then they'd be able to improve upon the club and also offer a seamless transition without downtime. In any case, the rooms are still pre-renovation. In fact, the only main differences I noticed were in the lobby so far.

On check-in, I did get a letter about the renovations. Here's an excerpt (emphasis mine):
I'm curious what type of 'alternate arrangements' will be made for RC guests/diamonds during this timeframe. FWIW, the proper e-mail address for the hotel is [email protected]; the one on the website doesn't seem to work.

Has anyone stayed at this property during this phase of the renovations? Is the RC actually closed?
