Park Hyatt Shanghai

"This high-ceilinged room with full-length windows affords panoramic river views, while the home-style furniture, warm lighting and booth seating make for a cosy feel. On the menu, Jiangzhe classics meet creative recipes that are rarely found elsewhere, such as steamed belt fish with fermented grains. Nicely pleated xiao long bao with umami-loaded soupy filling are simply unmissable – as are the appetisers." - Michelin Inspector

"The tallest hotel in mainland China occupies floors 79 to 93 of the Shanghai World Financial Center, the 101-story skyscraper made by Mori Building, developer of Tokyo ’s Roppongi Hills complex. As expected, any room or public area in the property likely has jaw-dropping views. Interiors mirror the aesthetics of a cultured modern Chinese residence, with sequences of gates, halls, and chambers as thoroughfares, and earth tones complementing natural materials. Monochromatic rooms have walls finished in linen, lacquer, and slatted-wood panels, with generous daybeds, 24-hour butler service, and plasma televisions embedded in the bathrooms’ vanity mirrors. But really, no amenity can top the incredible views."

The Best Restaurants in Shanghai

"Asia's second most vertiginous hotel is on floors 79 through 93 of the Shanghai World Financial Center, in the Pudong district. All 174 generous-sized rooms provide jaw-dropping Shanghai or Pudong panoramas, cloud-like bedding, and cashmere-soft carpets, and come with extra touches such as diagrams to explain the light switches and even motion sensor-operated heated commode seats. Owner Minoru Mori, who built Toyko's groundbreaking Roppongi Hills complex, influenced the art here, which includes hundreds of kitsch ceramics by Liu Jianhua hanging from the ceiling of 100 Century Avenue, a highly recommended showplace restaurant on the ninety-first floor. Two additional restaurants and 12 elegant private dining rooms offer everything from comfort food such as soup dumplings to formal banquets."

"No matter how long your trip is, book your stay at the Park Hyatt Shanghai: one of Asia's tallest hotels, it has spectacular panoramic views of the city, and comfortable rooms that will welcome you after a long day spent exploring."
