Tea ceremony in Tokyo at Chinzanso

A historic Tokyo tea house in Tokyo

A traditional Japanese tea ceremony in a historic Tokyo tea house offers more than cultural insight. At Hotel Chinzanso, the Omotesenke ceremony unfolds inside a heritage tea house, blending centuries-old ritual, refined design, and the art of slowing down in modern Tokyo.

Guests gather beneath the glass atrium during the Park Hyatt Tokyo reopening party, surrounded by candlelit tables and a freshly replanted bamboo garden that symbolizes renewal and quiet luxury above the Shinjuku skyline.

The Park Hyatt Tokyo Reopens — Same Soul, New Light

At the party for the reopening of the Park Hyatt Tokyo, we found the hotel refreshed yet unchanged — from its marble halls to the whimsical elevator sculptures. Even Girandole, now under Alain Ducasse, felt eternal. A beloved icon reborn above Shinjuku, timeless as ever.

The Lost in Translation suite of the Park Hyatt Tokyo

Revisiting the Lost in Translation hotel suite of the Park Hyatt Tokyo

With the Park Hyatt Tokyo reopening in December 2025, the city’s most cinematic room—the Lost in Translation Suite—is once again in the spotlight. Immortalized by Sofia Coppola’s Oscar-winning film, this elegant corner suite blends modern design, quiet luxury, and the timeless allure of Tokyo’s skyline. During my stay, I watched Lost in Translation from the very room where it was filmed—an unforgettable experience that blurred the line between cinema and real life.
