Park Hyatt Tokyo - Renovation

[redleader74]

Hello again!

I subscribe to a Monocle magazine and in my most recent issue there is an article about the Park Hyatt Tokyo including some history and stories and how it was closed this year for a major renovation job, reopening again late 2025. Included in the article are some fantastic photos. Due to the relatively low size limitations on photo/file attachments, i'm only able to attach here the first page of the article.

Wow did not know about that! Good thing I didn't plan for a trip there during this time. Also didn't know about this magazine. Will have to check it out.
Also I don't know why I didn't get a notice about the post, I'm subscribed.
But anyway thanks for trying to upload. I went into the board settings and changed the file size max to 5mb. If you are able to scan it again and maybe more see if that works!

Yes, Monocle is a fantastic magazine on world culture, arts, travel, etc. Great articles with just as great photos. However, it is kind of expensive at ~$12 USD per issue (probably more now). I'd love to share all the pages from that article at a legible resolution, but I know this site has size limitations. Is there another way to do it, like linking from other photo site or something like that?

Ok if 5mb is not enough then you can link from an external site and embed or just a link to the external site, thanks!

Ok, I've scanned the entire article. Its actually more photos than it is text. I use Flickr for my photos, so here's a private link to the album:

Please let me know if it doesn't work. The magazine uses very high quality glossy paper, however, my scanner is pretty old so the images don't truly capture the stunning beauty of both the images and the quality of the printed pages. Enjoy!

P.S. By the way, on the home page of my Flickr account, you'll notice that the photo banner at the top is, of course, of the New York Bar at the Park Hyatt. This was during my first visit to Japan in 2016 and my first and only ever stay at the hotel. Of our four night stay, three were spent in that bar, indulging in all that it had to offer. This was in early december. By our third and final night in the bar, a Christmas tree had gone up next to the band. Everytime I think of this I am reminded of the scene where a new band takes over in the bar, more or less signfying it was time for Bob to go home.
