Hyatt Regency Hotel Shinjuku Tokyo

The Hyatt Regency Hotel is like a home away from homes for me. I visit Tokyo 3 – 4 times a year and spend several weeks at a time staying at the Hyatt Regency. I have also stayed directly across the road at the Hilton Hotel which is only around $20 per night more expensive but I prefer staying at the Hyatt Regency.

The Hyatt Regency Hotel is located in Nishi-Shinjuku (West Shinjuku) in what is refered to as the Skyscraper district. It is around a 12 minute walk to Shinjuku train station though there is also a shuttle bus Hyatt provides to get to and from the station. There is also a subway station almost directly below the Hyatt, The Tochomae Station which goes directly to Roppongi station.
