Grand Hyatt Shanghai

Grand Hyatt Shanghai occupies floors 53 to 87 of the 88-storey Jin Mao Tower in Lujiazui, Shanghai. You check in well above street level and sleep higher still — every one of the five hundred and forty-eight guest rooms has floor-to-ceiling windows looking out over the city skyline. The rooms combine art deco detailing with classical Chinese design elements, and all include wireless internet access.

Guests who book Grand Club rooms receive a separate lounge — the Grand Club — where breakfast, all-day drinks, private boardrooms, and evening cocktails with small plates are included in the stay.

The hotel runs ten restaurants and bars across its upper floors, each with its own kitchen style and room design. The combination of height and the density of dining options makes food and drink a significant part of staying here rather than an afterthought.

For events, the hotel has two ballrooms and eleven smaller meeting and function rooms — a setup that handles everything from a board meeting to a large conference without sending guests to another building.

Jin Mao Tower stands in Lujiazui, Shanghai's financial district on the east side of the city.
