Spanning the 79th to 93rd floors of the towering Shanghai World Financial Center, this soaring hotel sees Pudong’s huge buildings dwarfing into Lego blocks as lobby views graze the tip of the Jinmao Tower. Smaller than the Grand Hyatt, it's a subdued but stylish 174-room affair with a deco slant, high-walled corridors of brown fabric and grey stone textures.
Rooms are luxurious, with nifty features (mist-free bathroom mirror containing a small TV screen, automatically opening toilet seats). All come with huge TVs, deep bathtubs, leather chaise longues, sumptuous beds and outrageously good views. There are a few dining options including 100 Century Avenue with its exceptional views. Access is from the south side of the tower.
