Hyatt Regency Tokyo has commenced a major renovation project.
This marks the largest construction effort since its opening, planned to be carried out in phases over a year, with a completion target set for June 2025. The lobby will be revamped to include a lobby lounge and bar, alongside an all-day dining cafe. The Regency Club Lounge will also undergo renovations. The hotel will continue to operate during the renovation period, gradually reopening refurbished areas.
The guest room interiors have been designed by Nao Taniyama of NAO Taniyama & Associates, specialists in global luxury hotels. The interior decor employs gentle shades of blue, grey, and aqua to symbolize the sparkling waters of the Kanda River, bringing the beauty of nature into the rooms. Seventeen family studios accommodating four guests and seventeen corner deluxe rooms will be added, along with studio couches usable as beds for three guests. Following the renovations, the hotel will offer a total of 712 rooms, including 18 suites.
The lobby features marble floors and retains its classic elements with three chandeliers adorned with approximately 115,000 Swarovski crystals, suspended in a 28-meter-high atrium that extends up to the eighth floor. Adrian Currie of G.A. Group, a hospitality interior design firm, undertook the design, incorporating studded leather and velvet furniture, marble tabletops, and floral decorations to enhance the lobby’s color scheme, harmonized with premium wood finishes. A clock reminiscent of Shinjuku Station is placed above the bar.
Noise-producing construction work will be conducted from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays. Construction noises may also occur intermittently outside these hours. Some facilities will operate in alternative locations or with changes in service offerings during this period.
Hyatt Regency Tokyo, the first Hyatt hotel in Japan, opened in 1980. Odakyu Electric Railway, the previous owner, transferred its ownership of the Odakyu Century Building and all shares of Hotel Odakyu to a special purpose company funded by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts (KKR) and Go Capital Partners in March 2023.
