Located in Shinjuku, center of the megalopolis Tokyo, the Hyatt Regency Tokyo is a luxury hotel that attracts visitors from around the world. This 744-room hotel boasts its gorgeous architecture and interior -- from strass beads chandeliers imported from Austria and a see-through elevator to a spacious atrium lobby. In addition to the existing seven restaurants/bars, new caffé just opened in the lobby in April this year.

 

“Spa + Wellness Joule” is the penthouse (hotel’s top floor – 27-28F) wellness sanctuary with the spa, pool, hinoki Jacuzzi, and latest fitness zones.   The spa has eight treatment rooms, some featuring a Vichy shower, a mist sauna, and Sitz bath for ladies (45cm depth bath to relax your hip).

Rest at their Power Boosting area where comfortable spacious sofa chairs align facing the large windows. The view from there is breathtaking (especially at night) – a perfect spot to relax and absorb the energy of Tokyo.   Yes, the spa’s focus is to boost your ENERGY. (In fact, “Joule” is the unit for measuring energy levels…). For body care treatments, specific oil will be selected among five different energy essences (balancing, vitality, loving, purifying, and spiritual) – depending on the individual’s mood, current energy level, and health & skin conditions.

 

Try the “Body Balancing” which includes a foot bath and energy work addressing Qi flow to awaken your five senses and elevate your energy. The therapist’s gentle hand touch takes you to heaven.

The “Joule Spa Ritual” with mud wrap of Australian organic clay and French-style “Guerande Sea Salt Glow” are great, too!
