Grand Hyatt

Shanghai

LoginSave

This classy 548-room hotel, spanning the top 34 floors of the majestic Jinmao Tower, remains one of Shanghai’s finest. The neck-craning 33-storey atrium is astonishing, while drinking and dining options, including On 56 and Canton, are outstanding. Tang dynasty poems are inscribed in gold above lovely beds, and espresso machines, smart tan-leather desks and inviting bathrooms (some with bathtub views) add to the luxury.

Corner rooms are coveted, views are stratospheric and service remains highly attentive.
