"During the May Day holiday, I took my granddaughter on a little getaway. Since all the tourist spots were packed, we decided to stay in Shanghai and find a hotel with a pool where we could just relax. After comparing several five-star hotels, I ultimately chose the Grand Hyatt Shanghai. I booked a family twin room with two queen-sized beds (1.5m each), and upon arrival, they upgraded me to a river view room. Stepping into the lobby on the 54th floor, the Lujiazui skyline immediately came into view. Our room, on a higher floor (70-80th floor), had floor-to-ceiling windows directly facing the Huangpu River and the Bund's historic buildings – the night view was truly stunning, like a painting.
The heated indoor pool on the 24th floor offers breathtaking views of the Pudong skyline while you swim, creating an amazing 'in the clouds' workout experience, though the water temperature was a bit on the cool side.
The room itself was spacious with a grand layout, blending modern design with subtle Chinese details, giving it a premium feel.
Breakfast on the 57th floor: The selection was extensive, allowing us to leisurely enjoy our meal until nearly noon. The high-altitude dining atmosphere was absolutely fantastic.
Check-in and check-out at the front desk were quick, and the staff were friendly.
The location is superb and incredibly convenient. Situated in the heart of Lujiazui, it's within walking distance of the Oriental Pearl TV Tower and IFC Mall, and has direct underground access to the Shanghai Tower. It's also just a 10-minute drive to the Bund and Yu Garden, easily accessible by subway or taxi, making it ideal for both business and leisure travelers."
