The first Hyatt Centric brand hotel in Asia, the design is bold and daring, with the perfect location in the middle of bustling Ginza.

As someone that has minimal experience with the Hyatt portfolio, except for an one-off Hyatt Regency here and there, I came away from the hotel totally jaw dropped. It seems that the Hyatt Centric is Hyatt’s more refined and polished version of Marriott’s Moxy, albeit at a higher price point.
Prices seem to hover around ¥30,000-60,000 (or HK$2,000-4,000), making World of Hyatt Redemption at Category 5 / 20,000 points seemingly a worthwhile proposition.

Room
Tokyo is a city known for some of the smallest hotel rooms in the world, but this hotel is the complete opposite. In fact there was more space than we knew what to do with! We booked the 1 King Room and were not upgraded, which was fine for me as a lowly Hyatt Globalist. One of the down sides of being in a low-rise building is that the views are not spectacular, unlike at the Park Hyatt Tokyo or the Andaz Tokyo.
Hyatt Centric Ginza Tokyo – Room View
The room is brightly coloured and decorated with traditional Japanese prints from old city scenes. The thing that interest me the most is something you don’t usually see in other hotels: a combined powder room, bathroom sink and minibar, with a separate wet room containing a shower and bathtub, and another separate toilet cubicle. This design was pretty functional and not all form, which I really liked. Regrettably I don’t have a photo of this.
Food & Beverage
Hyatt Centric Ginza Tokyo – NAMIKI667 Breakfast
We only had breakfast during our stay as there’s simply too much to try outside. Breakfast was served at the hotel’s only all-day restaurant, NAMIKI667. Japanese food is amazing hands-down. But 5 star hotels in Japan seriously take it to the next level with the variety and the freshness of the food offered. Expect all your western breakfast options including hot items, pastries, a cook-to-order eggs station (the croissant Eggs Benedict was quite special) as well your traditional Japanese breakfast options.
I’ll let the photo do the talking. One of the cool things was that you could sit on the outdoor terrace every morning to eat your breakfast which looks down to the bustling Namiki Dori street below.
