Skybar
As it turns out, there actually IS a Park Hyatt in Shinjuku... which explains my confusion at why it wasn't called the CENTURY Hyatt in Lost in Translation. It also explains why, when we went to look for the bar from the movie at the Century Hyatt, it wasn't there. OOPS.
Looks like there's a bloody 2000yen cover charge anyway, so I probably won't be going anytime soon. Bah.
I had a feeling that the Century Hyatt wasn't awesome enough to be the backdrop of Lost in Translation but I still had high hopes, as it's only four blocks from my house. *shrugs* The truth is, I'm quite thrilled to discover that the Park Hyatt is the three-tiered building I've been taking photos of all along. In fact, the Park Hyatt Shinjuku is the primary building in the city view from my home's upstairs balcony.
Maybe I will go back there after all. Just once to say I did.
