We were there for my nephew's wedding. the chinese chef is amazong. but the room and hotel are very average for the price we paid.

The rooms are very spacious and clean. The breakfast is great. Views from the hotel are beautiful. Not all the staff are fluent in English but most are. The area is a bit secluded but nice.

The Okura is the other side of the coin, and equally essential. Where the Park Hyatt is vertical drama, the Okura is horizontal calm. The 1962 original building is a masterpiece of mid-century Japanese design and the restoration preserved it perfectly: the lantern lobby, the geometric screens, the low ceilings that make you feel held rather than dwarfed. The Prestige Tower rooms are some of the most considered spaces in Tokyo. The Orchid Bar is a time capsule in the best sense, quiet, precise, perfectly made drinks. Service here has an older-school formality to it that feels increasingly rare. If the Park Hyatt is Tokyo now, the Okura is Tokyo as it always should have been.

Somehow I always meet the most pretentious, snobby, arrogant and self-important service staff here, unlike anywhere else in Japan. This place is truly a hierarchical nightmare. If you’re not a VIP (e.g. president of a certain country) or a local veteran guest/businessman, they will not respect you.
