Bubbles for Brunch -- The Park Hyatt Shinjuku

Still enjoying the popularity gained from the movie Lost in Translation, Tokyo’s most famous luxury hotel is the Park Hyatt in Shinjuku. Perched on the 52nd floor of the hotel, the Park Hyatt’s New York Grill restaurant has been offering a Sunday champagne brunch for 14 years. The Park Hyatt’s brunch, which has a friendly atmosphere (families with children are welcome), is offered on Sundays from 11:30 to 14:30. For ¥6,200 guests are privileged to a glass of Anderson Valley Champagne upon entry and are then free to help themselves to the appetizer buffet featuring a fantastic array of seasonal dishes. Guests can then choose a main meal from a selection of six dishes before heading back to the buffet for dessert.

Besides the impeccable food and service, another unique aspect of the New York Grill is that the space is semi-divided into two areas, granting guests the opportunity of relocating after the main course to witness the live jazz music and sample coffees, desserts and a magnificent view of Tokyo from a different angle. The Park Hyatt also hosts special events on many of the major festivals throughout the year including Christmas Day and Valentine’s Day that have featured exclusive tie-ins with champagne brands such as Cristal.
