Fuji Speedway (Unbound Collection ). REVIEW MASTER THREAD
Full press release: https://newsroom.hyatt.com/news-releases?item=123817
CHICAGO (April 3, 2019) - Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H) announced today that a Hyatt affiliate has entered into a management agreement with Towa Real Estate Co. Ltd., an affiliate of TOYOTA Group, to develop a 120-key hotel at the Fuji Speedway, Japan’s historic racing circuit. Slated to open in 2022, the project will be the first in Japan under The Unbound Collection by Hyatt brand and the first hotel in the world to be built by Towa Real Estate.
“We are excited to see The Unbound Collection by Hyatt brand in Japan for the first time with a project at Fuji Speedway, an iconic destination for motorsports fans across the globe seeking a luxury experience,” said David Udell, group president, Asia-Pacific, Hyatt Hotels Corporation. “As we look to expand Hyatt’s brand footprint in Japan, we are excited to be entering into a management agreement with TOYOTA group company, Towa Real Estate, as it builds its first-ever hotel.”
Location
In the foothills of Mount Fuji, the hotel’s Fuji Speedway location will offer guests convenient access to motorsports events and the upcoming Motorsports Village facility, currently under development by Towa Real Estate in concert with the hotel development.
Situated on the grounds of Fuji Speedway, the hotel will offer unsurpassed views of Mount Fuji, in addition to housing a Motorsports Museum. The site’s immediate proximity to the Oyama Parking Area Smart Interchange, scheduled to open in 2021, will make the hotel’s location accessible to guests arriving from remote areas by car.
Guestrooms
The hotel will feature approximately 120 tastefully designed guest rooms and suites of at least 484 square feet (45 square meters) each, a flexible banquet room of 5,381 square feet (500 square meters), and a 2,152 square foot (200 square meter) conference room. These extraordinary facilities will position the hotel as an ideal venue for story-worthy meetings and events.

Are there any driving packages? I would totally go for this. Would be a dream to stay here for a few days and rent/drive a Gr3 (GT300?) car around the track. Hell, I'll even take a Miata, err, Roadster.

They would most likely be Toyotas/Lexus since this hotel is owned by a Toyota affiliate.

We'd also be interested in the driving experience. I know you can do something like that in Abu Dhabi but I did not see anything at the Fuji Speedway

Wow, this property wasn't even on my radar until I went to check the HR Hakone for availability. Booked here for late November between PH Tokyo/Kyoto and used a TSU for a circuit view suite. SO is excited as they are the gearhead between the two of us. We'll be doing Fun2Drive again which is nearby.
No driving experiences/packages through the hotel. There is an 'Opening Offer' that includes a gasoline voucher and entry to the Motorsports Museum.
Fuji Speedway itself does offer riding experiences, though the information appears available only in Japanese. Accessible at the very bottom of their webpage, including option to drive your own car or their GR86. You can even drive a Formula car, but have to meet certain criteria including prior Formula experience or beating a certain track time.

Note that it will be a bit of a pain getting to this hotel.
If using public transportation, you'll need to go to Gotemba Station and then take a taxi to the hotel, which could be 3000 yen or so.
If driving your own car, be aware that, during winter months, you'll either need winter tires or a set of chains to use if necessary.
