The Shinjuku Park Tower (新宿パークタワー, Shinjuku Pāku Tawā) is the second-tallest building in Shinjuku, Tokyo. It was designed by Kenzo Tange and completed in 1994.

Shinjuku Park Tower is a single building consisting of three connected block-shaped elements; S tower, which is 235 m (771 ft) tall with 52 stories, C tower which is 209 m (686 ft) tall with 47 stories and N tower which is 182 m (597 ft) tall with 41 stories. Floors 1 to 8 are occupied by retail stores, floors 9 to 37 are office floors and floors 39 to 52 are occupied by the luxury Park Hyatt Tokyo hotel, which includes a swimming pool with panoramic views on the city.[2][3] The hotel featured prominently in Academy Award-winning film Lost in Translation.[4]

The building is owned and managed by Tokyo Gas Urban Development, a subsidiary of Tokyo Gas,[5] and was constructed on the site of a decommissioned gas storage facility. Tokyo Gas operates a regional cooling center on-site, which provides heating and cooling to the high-rise district of Nishi-Shinjuku, and supplies electricity to the adjacent Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building.[6]
