Park Hyatt Hotel, Shanghai
More photosPark Hyatt Shanghai is a sky-high sanctuary occupying the 79th to 93rd floors of the Shanghai World Financial Centre, one of the city’s most iconic skyscrapers. Designed by the renowned New York-based architect Tony Chi, the hotel was envisioned as a sophisticated modern Chinese residence. It masterfully balances minimalist aesthetics with an earthy, warm color palette, utilizing rich woods and stone to create a tranquil escape far above the bustling Lujiazui financial district.
The hotel’s altitude is its most striking feature, offering guests breathtaking, unobstructed views of the Huangpu River and the historic Bund across the water. A unique engineering highlight is the hotel’s infinity pool on the 85th floor, which utilizes massive 150-ton dampers to ensure the water remains perfectly still, even when the building sways slightly in high winds.
Beyond its impressive stature, the hotel serves as a curated art gallery in the sky, featuring an eclectic collection of contemporary sculptures and traditional Chinese-inspired pieces. The “Water’s Edge” spa and the high-altitude dining venues further emphasize the property’s dedication to wellness and refined luxury.
Located in the heart of the Lujiazui district, the hotel is just steps away from major landmarks like the Oriental Pearl Tower and the Shanghai Tower. It also provides easy access to the riverside, where you can take a ferry to explore the historic colonial architecture of the Bund, making it a perfect base for experiencing the seamless blend of futuristic innovation and classic Shanghai charm.
Expert reviews
“The Park Hyatt provides the best angle to view Shanghai: from the top. Occupying the upper part of the 492-meter Shanghai World Financial Center, all 174 rooms enjoy stunning vistas overlooking Lujiazui high-rises, the Huangpu River or the Puxi downtown area.”
“You can’t miss Park Hyatt Shanghai — its towering screwdriver-like structure is the tallest skyscraper in the city. But you won’t find that flash inside the quiet Shanghai hotel, where gray, cream and chocolate-brown hues and dark wood give it a sleek, Zen-like aura.”

Thank you to the receptionist who was kind to give a complimentary upgrade as well as top service from all the staff!

Service can be better. Communication issues.
The location, facilities and room was great.
I forgot my phone in the dining room and called the staff later in the afternoon to inquire. The staff confidently said they didnt find a phone. I search for an hour in the room and then went to the dining area myself to find the phone at the staff desk. I think the staff are not well connected and service can be poor. My battery adapter was delivered at the concierge by Alibaba half an hour before they sent it upstairs after I called and inquired. For such a big hotel they dont even keep spare mac book chargers. Language issues can make communication with staff difficult sometimes.

Life Amongst the Clouds
The Park Hyatt Shanghai is an exceptional hotel 90 stories above Shanghai offering the most spectacular views of this amazing city. The all you can eat breakfast buffet is second to none anywhere in the world in my opinion. The staff are exceptionally helpful and friendly.
It is very pricey, but I honestly can't imagine staying anywhere else once you have been spoilt by the Hyatt. Pudong is a little out of the way in terms of exploring the city, but there are adequate transport links and taxi's although difficult to hail, are cheap.

Life Among the Clouds
The Park Hyatt Shanghai is all about the views. There are few experiences in life quite like waking up to one of the most amazing skylines in the world.
Pudong is a little isolated from the rest of the city, so everything is a taxi ride from the hotel.

Other Shanghai hotels
Bulgari Hotel, Shanghai
The Bulgari Hotel Shanghai is a masterful blend of Italian elegance and Chinese history, located along the scenic banks of Suzhou Creek. The property features a contemporary 48-story tower that sits alongside the beautifully restored Chamber of Commerce building, a landmark dating back to 1916. The architectural firm Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel spent eight years meticulously renovating this heritage site, ensuring the hotel feels like a seamless bridge between Shanghai’s glamorous past and its modern future.
CN Traveler + 1 more“Bulgari stands out for its ability to channel the city vibe without losing a sense of the brand’s Italian DNA. An immaculately choreographed tussle between Italian and Chinese design is enacted in marble and bronze versus silk and lacquer.”

Capella Jian Ye Li, Shanghai
Capella Jian Ye Li is a rare and exquisite urban sanctuary tucked away in Shanghai’s Xuhui District. It is the city’s only all-villa hotel housed within a historic cluster of shikumen—traditional "stone gate" townhouses that define the city’s architectural heritage. Originally built in the 1930s, this complex has been masterfully restored to preserve its original red-brick charm while integrating modern luxury, effectively protecting a fading piece of Shanghai’s cultural history.
New York Times + 2 more“The long-awaited Capella Shanghai, the Singapore-based luxury chain’s first China property, opened in September in a restored Shanghai shikumen lane complex originally built for French traders in the 1930s. The property features 55 villas set in three-story traditional houses with private courtyards and rooftop balconies.”
Shortlisted in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Shanghai, China.
Waldorf Astoria on The Bund, Shanghai
The Waldorf Astoria Shanghai on the Bund is a spectacular blend of history and modern luxury. The property is uniquely split between a sleek modern tower and the historic Heritage Building, which originally served as the legendary Shanghai Club in 1911. This meticulously restored Neo-Classical gem allows guests to step back into the glamour of the 1920s while enjoying 21st-century amenities.
Forbes + 1 more“The rooms similarly meld old and new with old-fashioned glass candy jars that hold house-made treats like balls of white chocolate-covered Krispies, while the marble bathrooms come with televisions built into the mirrors and electronic Toto toilets loaded with buttons.”
Hotel Equatorial, Shanghai
Hotel Equatorial Shanghai has been a fixture in the city’s skyline since it first opened in 1991. Located at the bustling intersection of Hua Shan Road and Yanan Road West, the hotel serves as a classic choice for travelers looking to be positioned right in the heart of the Puxi central business district.
CNN“One of the first hotels in Shanghai built to receive international travelers after the Chinese economy opened up to world trade, the 520-room, four-star lodging is in the thick of things.”
