THE Grand Hyatt Tokyo, in the Roppongi district of central Tokyo, has completed a major renovation of its events venues.

Part of a broader drive by the hotel chain to enhance its MICE capabilities throughout Asia, Grand Hyatt Tokyo’s renovation focused on unifying the second floor of the hotel with a cohesive residential design, and expanding and enhancing the Thyme banquet room on the fourth floor. A Poggenpohl show kitchen was also added.

Moreover, there is now direct access to the property’s outdoor garden, while facilities have been spruced up with new technology such as SiliconCore’s high-resolution 192-inch LED display screens. This cutting-edge technology prevents day-time screen glare, making the Coriander room an ideal venue for day-time events and meetings.

“As the host country of the 2020 Olympics and Paralympics, Japan will draw attention from around the world and international visitors will continue to increase,” said Hiroyuki Yamada, director of event sales.

“This means that as we get closer to the Olympics, demand for leisure, MICE and onsite visits of corporations will increase as well,” he told TTmice e-Weekly.

“This is a great opportunity and we hope to see a positive impact on the hotel business and the overall economy.”

The Grand Hyatt Tokyo has hosted events ranging from large-scale movie premieres and financial conferences to luxury car shows and press events.

“Hyatt as a group has a tremendous commitment to MICE. In the past 13 years that we have been in the business, we have been able to consistently renovate our facilities to adapt to the trends and ever-changing demands,” Yamada said, stressing that the hotel intends to “aggressively grow MICE bookings” in the future.

“Our team travels strategically to different parts of the world to generate new business, and we work with Roppongi Hills and local organisations – such as Destination Marketing Roppongi – to achieve a common goal of increasing our MICE business on a larger scale,” he added.

Yamada concluded: “We have had a lot of interest from companies coming to Japan and we would like to establish our position as a leading hotel that can constantly offer creative, innovative and unique personal experiences.”
