How to Book Park Hyatt Tokyo with Points

Considered one of the best hotels in the world under the Park Hyatt brand, the Park Hyatt Tokyo has become massively popular among travelers in the United States looking to experience the elegance and culture of Japan. This hotel offers excellent customer service and incorporates centuries-old architectural concepts in its design that are guaranteed to give you a sense of tranquility and respite from the bustling city outside.

Another major reason that U.S. travelers are so interested in booking the Park Hyatt Tokyo is that it’s known to provide outstanding value per point. Most people value Hyatt points at between 1.5 and 2 cents per point. However, by booking the Park Hyatt Tokyo, you can sometimes find redemptions that offer triple that value or more, making this one of the best hotels in the World of Hyatt program to book with points.

Unfortunately, the amazing experience provided by the Park Hyatt Tokyo as well as the excellent value per point that it provides has made this hotel a hot ticket. Thus, finding award availability at this location has become very difficult, even during off-peak season.

However, as a 10xTravel reader, we’re going to give you the inside scoop on the best ways to book the Park Hyatt Tokyo with points. Of course, we can’t guarantee that you’ll be able to book an award stay at this incredible hotel. But, by using the tips and tricks in this article, you’ll certainly give yourself the best chance.

How Many Points Per Night Is the Park Hyatt Tokyo?

Before you try to book a stay at the Park Hyatt Tokyo, you’ll need to make sure that you have enough points in your World of Hyatt account to pay for your stay. Like all other hotels in the World of Hyatt program, a standard room at the Park Hyatt Tokyo is priced according to the following award chart:

Since the Park Hyatt Tokyo is currently considered a Category 7 hotel, a stay in a standard room at this hotel would cost 25,000 points during off-peak season, 30,000 points during standard season and 35,000 points during peak season.

At the time of writing, the Park Hyatt Tokyo is closed due to a comprehensive restoration to celebrate its 30th anniversary. The hotel is expected to reopen in October 2025. This means, however, that there is currently no published points calendar to tell you which dates are considered off-peak, standard and peak season at the Park Hyatt Tokyo.

Once the Park Hyatt Tokyo has reopened, you’ll be able to view its points calendar by visiting the hotel’s page on the World of Hyatt website and clicking the “Points Calendar” hyperlink, which you’ll find just below the hotel’s title and address.

So, if you wish to know the total price of a potential stay at the Park Hyatt Tokyo in Hyatt points, you can find out whether your potential dates are off-peak, standard or peak season and then multiply the applicable nightly rate by the number of days that you want to stay. For example, if you wanted to stay four nights in standard season, it would cost 120,000 points (30,000 points per night x 4 nights = 120,000 points). Or, if you wanted to stay three nights during peak season, it would cost you 105,000 points (35,000 points per night x 3 nights = 105,000 points).

Best Ways To Earn Hyatt Points

If you’re new to the World of Hyatt program, you may not be familiar with the best ways to earn Hyatt points. There are many different ways to earn points through the World of Hyatt program that can all help you save up for your stay at the Park Hyatt Tokyo. However, if you want to save up enough points as quickly as possible, there are certain methods of earning points that are more effective than others.

Let’s look at a few of the best ways to quickly rack up enough World of Hyatt points to book a stay at the Park Hyatt Tokyo.

Transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards Points

For many consumers, the best way to earn Hyatt points (without having to make any major commitment to the World of Hyatt program) is to transfer points from the Chase Ultimate Rewards program to World of Hyatt. Chase points transfer at a 1:1 ratio, transfers process almost instantaneously and there’s no fee to make a transfer. Plus, transferring points to World of Hyatt is generally considered to be one of the best ways to use Chase points.

For instance, if you had Chase Ultimate Rewards points in your account, which you could earn from the welcome bonus from the Chase Sapphire Reserve® or the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card, you could transfer those points to the World of Hyatt program and receive the equivalent Hyatt points instantly, enough for two nights at the Park Hyatt Tokyo during off-peak or standard season.

Sign Up for a World of Hyatt Co-Branded Credit Card

Another great way to quickly earn enough Hyatt points for a stay at the Park Hyatt Tokyo is to sign up for one of the two World of Hyatt co-branded credit cards (both of which are issued by Chase). Both of these cards charge an annual fee. However, with the points and benefits that you’ll earn from these cards, you’ll easily recoup that value.

The following chart includes all of the most important information about these two World of Hyatt credit cards:

As you can see, these two credit cards are great for earning Hyatt points on everyday purchases, which can help you quickly earn enough points to book a stay at the Park Hyatt Tokyo. Plus, since both cards offer automatic Discoverist elite status, you’ll be entitled to certain special perks during your stay at the Park Hyatt Tokyo, including preferred room upgrades and late checkout.

In addition to the Hyatt points you can earn from these cards’ regular spending bonuses, both of these cards offer a welcome bonus for new cardmembers that should be enough for a night or two at the Park Hyatt Tokyo. For instance, here’s the welcome bonus currently being offered by The World of Hyatt Credit Card:

It’s worth noting, however, that nearly every major hotel chain has its own co-branded credit card, so you may only want to get a Hyatt co-branded credit card if it’s a hotel chain that you stay with often.

Purchasing Hyatt Points

Since you can earn Hyatt points as a bonus for natural spending, we discourage purchasing points from World of Hyatt (as well as other hotel loyalty programs) most of the time. However, if you are dead-set on booking a stay at the Park Hyatt Tokyo in the near future and you don’t have any Hyatt points in your account, then it can make sense to buy points and use those points to book your stay. This is particularly the case if Hyatt is having a sale on points purchases, as they sometimes do.

For instance, Hyatt has offered as much as a 25% discount on points in the past.

Even at normal rates, purchasing Hyatt points can still be a good idea if you have a specific redemption in mind. A night at the Park Hyatt Tokyo in a standard room costs 35,000 points. However, the cash rate for that same stay will most likely be somewhere around $2,000 or more.

So, instead of paying $2,000 or more in cash for that room, you could check to see if the date that you want to book is available as an award night. If the answer is yes, you could purchase the 35,000 points needed for that award night for $840.

So, if the cash price of that night was $2,000 and you instead purchased enough points to book the same night as an award for $840, you just saved yourself almost $1,200.

It’s worth mentioning, though, that you can purchase a maximum of 55,000 Hyatt points per calendar year, which isn’t enough points for two nights at the Park Hyatt Tokyo unless you’re booking in off-peak season (and most travelers won’t want to spend just a single night).

Also, using this strategy at the Park Hyatt Tokyo is going to be difficult because award availability at this hotel is so scarce. Nonetheless, it’s worth a try and it’s definitely a strategy you can use for other hotels in the World of Hyatt portfolio.

Other Ways To Earn Hyatt Points

There are many other ways to earn points through the World of Hyatt program, the most obvious of which is to book paid stays at participating Hyatt hotels and resorts. World of Hyatt members earn 5X base points on all eligible spending at Hyatt hotels and resorts, and you could earn more points if you’re a Hyatt co-branded cardholder or if you have elite status in the World of Hyatt program. This is a good way to earn Hyatt points if you stay in Hyatt hotels often. However, if you’re trying to earn a lot of points quickly, staying at Hyatt hotels probably isn’t as effective as the earning methods described above.

Other ways to earn Hyatt points include flying with American Airlines, renting cars with Avis, booking experiences and more. And these are worth looking into if you want to pick up some extra Hyatt points here and there. But, once again, if you’re trying to earn points quickly, you should focus on the method described above.

Tips for Booking the Park Hyatt Tokyo With Points

Since the Park Hyatt Tokyo is known to provide an excellent on-site experience as well as amazing value per point on award stays, this location has become rather difficult to book due to its popularity. So, if you want to reserve an award stay at the Park Hyatt Tokyo, you’re going to have to be a savvy award stay booker.

Let’s discuss a few tips and tricks that can increase your chances of finding an award stay at the Park Hyatt Tokyo.

Book as Soon as Availability Is Released

If you’re really dedicated to finding award availability at the Park Hyatt Tokyo, you’ll want to mark your calendar for exactly 13 months (or 395 days) before the date that you want to book your stay. That’s because the World of Hyatt program releases award availability for each location a maximum of 13 months in advance.

For instance, if you wanted to stay at the Park Hyatt Tokyo on July 15, 2026, you’d want to log on to the World of Hyatt website and try to make your booking on June 15, 2025, in order to give yourself the best possible chance of finding award availability.

According to online forums, award space availability opens up for the Park Hyatt Tokyo at midnight Japan Standard Time exactly 395 days in advance. And, because this location is so popular (and will probably be even more popular after its reopening in 2025), it may be necessary to make your award booking just minutes after it becomes available. This is especially true if you’re booking during a popular tourism season in Japan, such as the cherry blossom season from late March to early May.

Of course, not all award availability at the Park Hyatt Tokyo fills up as soon as it’s released. However, if you want to give yourself the best chance of finding award availability on your desired dates, booking as far in advance as possible is the way to go.

Don’t Be Fooled by Fake Availability

One thing to look out for when searching for award availability through the Hyatt website is “fake availability.” Often, when searching for awards, the Hyatt website can make it seem like there’s award availability when there isn’t.

For instance, in the search results, you may see a listing for a stay that says there are “Rates from: 25,000 points” or something along those lines. However, when you actually click on that listing, it says there’s no availability on those dates.

So, before you transfer Chase points to the World of Hyatt program, double-check to make sure that the award space you want to book actually exists. This is particularly relevant when trying to book award stays at popular hotels like the Park Hyatt Tokyo.

Use Third-Party Award Search Tools

While you can find award availability for all World of Hyatt locations by searching on the Hyatt website, you can only check availability for single dates at a time. So, searching for an available date at properties that tend to have very limited availability can take a lot of time and, ultimately, end up being a fruitless endeavor.

If you want to check for award availability across a wide range of dates quickly, the best way to do so is by using a third-party award search tool, such as Rooms.aero and AwardTool. These tools make it much easier to quickly search for award availability at the Park Hyatt Tokyo or any other hotel that you want to book with points.

So, if you have some flexibility with your travel dates, you can use one of these award search tools to search for availability at the Park Hyatt Tokyo over a wide range of dates and give yourself a much better chance of successfully finding availability.

Travel at Off-Peak Times

If you’re simply interested in staying at the Park Hyatt Tokyo but don’t have a particular season in mind, you’ll have a better chance of finding award availability during off-peak travel times. As mentioned above, the season between late March and early May is typically the busiest tourism time in Japan, which makes it very difficult to find award availability during these months.

From December to early March is typically the slowest season for tourism in Japan. So, if you’re looking to find award availability at the Park Hyatt Tokyo, booking during these dates is typically your best bet. The rainy season between June and mid-July is also slow for tourism, so you’ll also have a higher chance of finding availability during these dates.

Of course, the high seasons for tourism are popular for a reason and, if you want to experience the magic of Japan at its fullest, then visiting during these peak seasons could be the best way. But, if you’re interested in finding award availability at Park Hyatt Tokyo, searching during off-peak times gives you the best chance.

Alternatives to the Park Hyatt Tokyo

The sad truth is that, since the Park Hyatt Tokyo is such a popular destination for award travel enthusiasts, there’s a decent chance you won’t be able to find award availability on the dates you plan to travel to Tokyo. Luckily, there are several fine hotels in Japan’s capital city you can book with points through the World of Hyatt program.

So, in case you’re unable to book an award stay at the Park Hyatt Tokyo, we’ve included some alternative Hyatt hotels you can look into.

Grand Hyatt Tokyo

The Grand Hyatt Tokyo is an excellent alternative to the Park Hyatt Tokyo, as both of these hotels are in Category 7, meaning you can expect to pay the same number of points for a stay at the Grand Hyatt Tokyo as you budgeted for a potential stay at the Park Hyatt Tokyo. Plus, while the Park Hyatt Tokyo is located in the Shibuya neighborhood of Tokyo, the Grand Hyatt Tokyo is located just a short drive away in the neighboring area of Minato City.

The Grand Hyatt Tokyo is located near a large shopping mall. So, if you want to do some shopping during your stay, this is an excellent location. However, if you want to get to some of the main attractions of Tokyo, you’ll have to take a short taxi ride.

Inside the Grand Hyatt Tokyo, you can expect excellent customer service. The staff is extremely accommodating and happy to upgrade your room for free if there’s availability. The rooms are classy and comfortable and there are several dining options within the hotel as well as at the mall next door.

Andaz Tokyo Toranomon Hills

Also a Category 7 hotel located in the Minato City neighborhood of Tokyo, the Andaz Tokyo Toranomon Hills is a great alternative to the Park Hyatt Tokyo. Much like the Park Hyatt Tokyo, the Andaz focuses on traditional Japanese architectural design, giving the entire hotel a serene and elegant feel. Plus, this hotel is located right in the heart of Tokyo within walking distance of a ton of restaurants, shops and tourism sites. You can even see the Tokyo Tower from your room if you get a room facing the right direction.

Inside the Andaz Tokyo Toranomon Hills, you’ll find wonderfully decorated rooms that blend modern and traditional Japanese design elements. The Andaz has many amenities, such as a beautiful swimming pool, a fitness room, a spa, a lounge and several on-site dining options.

All in all, the Andaz Tokyo Toranomon Hills provides an experience equal if not superior to the Park Hyatt Tokyo. So, if you’re unable to find award availability at the Park Hyatt Tokyo, this is an excellent place to look.

Hyatt Centric Ginza Tokyo

Another solid alternative to the Park Hyatt Tokyo is the Hyatt Centric Ginza Tokyo, which is located in the Ginza area of Tokyo—the city’s main shopping hub. In this part of the city, you’ll find high-end stores like Prada, Louis Vuitton and more. So, if you’re looking to come away from your trip to Tokyo with some high-end fashion, this could be a great place to stay.

The Hyatt Centric Ginza Tokyo is a Category 6 hotel, meaning you should be able to book it for slightly fewer Hyatt miles than the Park Hyatt Tokyo. The quality of the experience offered by the Hyatt Centric Ginza Tokyo is similar to these other hotels. Plus, this hotel includes modern decor and in-room technology such as a remote-controlled blackout shade and a Bose speaker.

The Hyatt Centric Ginza Tokyo also offers high-quality amenities such as on-site dining (including a delicious breakfast buffet), a fitness room and fast Wi-Fi throughout the property. So, if you’re unable to find award availability at the Park Hyatt Tokyo, the Hyatt Centric Ginza is a great (and even more affordable) option.

The Bottom Line

The Park Hyatt Tokyo has become a favorite among award travel enthusiasts looking to visit the magnificent country of Japan due to the wonderful on-site experience it provides, its location in the Shibuya neighborhood of Tokyo and the opportunity it presents to get excellent value for your Hyatt points.

However, due to its popularity, this hotel has become very difficult to book with points. So, if you wish to book an award stay at the Park Hyatt Tokyo, you’ll have to be proactive and book as soon as award space becomes available. Unfortunately, the Park Hyatt Tokyo is currently closed for renovations. But, when it reopens in October 2025, it’s safe to assume that there will be huge demand for award stays at this location.

Using the tips in this article, you can give yourself the best chance of successfully booking an award stay at the Park Hyatt Tokyo. And, if you’re unsuccessful, we’ve also provided some excellent alternatives for hotels in Tokyo that you can book with Hyatt points.
