Asian reception quality, most recent technologies, the decoration worthy a New York superb penthouse and breathtaking views are the main assets of one of preferred hotels for stars, politics and demanding travelers coming to the city.

John Morford, American interior designer based in Hong Kong, is the Park Hyatt Tokyo designer. He has printed here the contemporary elegance and intimacy of a private residence into the impressive glass and granite creation that the Tange is. The hotel is full of curiosities and ingenuity. For instance, at the ground floor, when the elevator doors are closing, the light is declining. Then, while going through the floors, the light is increasing. Finally, on the 41th floor, the light becomes bright and the travelers then reach the shining lobby.

Soft lines are drawn with green marble shadows, brown and gray granites and glass and mirrors abundance. The spectacular effect resulting of this is high tech and warm. The warm side that balances this effect is brought by the delicate woodwork, luxurious woven carpet and some walls dressed with natural fibers sheets.
