Project follows 113 Park Hyatt residences at Hanazono

PCPD completed 113 Park Hyatt Niseko Hanazono residences during the 2019–20 winter season. They were the first Park Hyatt-branded residences in Japan.

By July 2025, 111 of the residences had been sold or reserved. The resort also contains the 100-room Park Hyatt Niseko Hanazono hotel, including 28 suites, which opened in 2020.

The new scheme introduces a limited collection of individually separated homes managed and serviced by the hotel team.
