Fodor's Expert Review Hyatt Regency Tokyo

Set amid Shinjuku's skyscrapers, this hotel has the trademark Hyatt atrium-style lobby: seven stories high, with glass elevators soaring upward and three huge chandeliers suspended from above. The rooms are spacious for the price, though somewhat unremarkable in design (crisp white sheets and soft gray carpets are tasteful, if forgettable); the best choices are the Deluxe Rooms, which are larger in size (355 square feet) and overlook Shinjuku Chuo Koen (Shinjuku Central Park) or the skyscrapers. Tocho-mae Station, beneath the hotel, allows swift access to the nightlife in Roppongi and Shiodome's business towers. The nearby park is great for a short morning stroll to temporarily escape the urban crush.
