Asia Pacific’s First Hyatt Centric Hotel Opens in Tokyo, Japan

Hyatt has expanded its portfolio of hotels in Japan with the opening of the Hyatt Centric Ginza Tokyo, the first Hyatt Centric hotel in the Asia Pacific region.

Located on the fashionable Namiki-dori street in Ginza, the 164-room full-service lifestyle hotel offers travelers a home base in a neighborhood where even the most avid explorers can stay entertained for days on end.

Popular with walkers, Namiki-dori runs parallel to the main Chuo-dori boulevard and provides a perfect launchpad for guests to explore and discover Ginza’s diverse shopping, dining and entertainment offerings. Along with modern-day shops and restaurants, Namiki-dori is dotted with art galleries and small studio offices reminiscent of an earlier time.

“We are excited to introduce the Hyatt Centric brand to the Asia-Pacific region, and particularly to Ginza, Tokyo – a destination in itself and in the heart of Japan’s vibrant capital,” said Sam Sakamura, vice president of Hyatt – Japan and Micronesia. “Hyatt Centric Ginza Tokyo is the nineteenth addition to the brand’s worldwide portfolio, and as the brand’s first hotel in Asia-Pacific – it marks a significant milestone for both the Hyatt Centric brand and Hyatt. As we celebrate this expansion, we look forward to the future growth of the brand.”

Hyatt Centric Ginza Tokyo occupies a 12-story building on the former site of the first Tokyo office of Asahi Shimbun Company, a national newspaper publisher established in 1888.

General Manager, Tadanori Uchiyama, said, “Hyatt Centric Ginza Tokyo makes exploration easy. Our hotel staff are savvy explorers and ready to provide guests with local tips for restaurants, bars, shops, theaters and more. The hotel is designed to make guests feel welcomed in the heart of city. Whether to relax or explore or both, they will find everything they need at our hotel.”

Standard guestrooms are 35 square meters (376 square feet) in size, while Deluxe rooms offer 47 square meters (505 square feet) of space. These rooms are furnished with a multi-function table that transforms the vanity space into a breakfast nook or workstation, maximizing space. King, Twin, and City View suites are all a generous 77 square meters (828 square feet) in size. Each room features environmentally conscious bath products by Beekind, Bluetooth-enabled electronics and salon-grade blowdryers.

Guestrooms on the lower 5th to 8th floors allow daytime views of retro offices, galleries and studios of the neighborhood. From the ninth floor up, the view opens to sky and iconic rooftop scenes.

Guestroom floors also have rotating themes and color schemes, enabling a welcoming entrance each time a guest returns.
