The Park Hyatt Tokyo is, as Coppola has described it, a quiet floating island 39 floors above the cacophony and chaos of Shinjuku. Occupying the top 14 floors of the 52-story Shinjuku Park Tower, the hotel exudes an aura of calm and comfort that has induced many CEOs and celebrities -- including Coppola and her more famous father, Francis -- to become repeat visitors.
However, with three employees for every guest, the hotel's ambience is hardly effortless. The solicitousness that greets Bill Murray's character every time he enters or exits the hotel -- a line of black-clad attendants opening doors and holding elevators -- is evident to even the casual visitor. (And if you want the full experience firsthand, you can even sign up for a "Lost in Translation" package that the hotel is offering.)
Murray spends a lot of screen-time looking a little lost and at the mercy of his handlers, but in reality the hotel tries to make sure VIPs feel comfortable by providing the most exclusive of services: a butler.
