Lost in Translation Bar Reborn: Park Hyatt Tokyo's Iconic Watering Hole Refreshed

In December 2025, the Park Hyatt Tokyo will reopen its doors after a 17-month renovation, and the hotel's crown jewel, the New York Grill & Bar, will once again captivate visitors. The iconic New York Bar, which gained global recognition as the setting for the 2003 film Lost in Translation, has remained steadfastly true to its original spirit, with its soulful design and live jazz performances.

However, the bar's cocktail program has undergone a refreshing transformation, blending Japanese and American influences to pay homage to the film's delicate tone. Highlights include the Jet City, an homage to Seattle, and the Lost in Translation, or L.I.T., a pink-hued elixir that combines sake, cherry blossom liqueur, peach liqueur, cranberry juice, and lime.

The hotel's renovation has also introduced a new Park Suite category, offering guests up to 915 square feet of living space with separate living rooms and bedrooms, as well as specialty suites with up to 3,100 square feet of space, complete with kitchens, entertainment areas, and cinematic skyline views.

As the Park Hyatt Tokyo celebrates its 30th anniversary, the hotel's designers, Jouin Manku, have aimed to strike a balance between the property's iconic spirit and a renewed energy, ensuring that the hotel remains relevant for generations to come.
