Park Hyatt Shanghai

Park Hyatt Shanghai I finally got to experience the Park Hyatt Shanghai. I'd heard it was an older hotel, but after staying there, I didn't find it dated at all; it's still fantastic overall. The Park Hyatt Shanghai was designed by Tony Chi. The lobby isn't overtly luxurious but uses a blend of wood, stone, artwork, and Eastern elements to create a tranquil yet sophisticated sense of space. Even after many years, this design remains timeless. The Park Hyatt has been around for two decades. You pass through a bamboo grove to reach the hotel entrance, then through multiple doorways and a high-ceilinged, spacious corridor to find the elevators to the lobby. As you delve deeper, the city's noise gradually fades until you arrive at the sky lobby on the 87th floor, where the view dramatically opens up, offering panoramic vistas of Lujiazui. This time, I booked an Oriental Pearl Tower River View King Room, specifically room 8402. The floor-to-ceiling windows directly face the Jin Mao Tower and the Oriental Pearl Tower, and you can even glimpse the Bund. The charm of the Park Hyatt Shanghai's Oriental Pearl Tower view rooms isn't just the city skyline outside; it's also the interior space itself. The room continues the Park Hyatt's consistent understated aesthetic, never overtly flashy with luxury, yet full of thoughtful details. Centered on modern Eastern aesthetics, it eschews the elaborate decorations of traditional luxury hotels, making extensive use of dark wood veneers, natural stone, leather, and art pieces to create a subdued and refined atmosphere. Warm lighting, a restrained color palette, and clean lines give the entire room a sense of tranquility and relaxation beyond the high-altitude views, allowing you to experience Shanghai's unique urban aesthetic among the clouds. The room slippers were incredibly comfortable. The bathrobe felt a bit rough after putting it on. The toiletries were Le Labo Bergamote 22, and a Dyson hairdryer was provided. The minibar in the room is chargeable, but the butler delivered welcome desserts and fruit, and a bottle of champagne arrived after check-in. Sipping champagne while gazing at the view outside truly elevated the experience. The breakfast restaurant is Century 100, located on the 91st floor, offering a semi-buffet and à la carte options. The beef noodles, eggs Benedict, and waffles were excellent, and the breakfast quality overall was very good with well-prepared dishes. Having stayed in many city hotels, the Park Hyatt Shanghai gave me a feeling of being economically prosperous. The service, as expected from Park Hyatt, was consistently excellent – not overly zealous, but always meticulous, natural, and just right, making the entire stay very comfortable. Truly sophisticated design is never about that initial 'wow' factor; it's about growing to love it more after you've settled in and finding it more and more enjoyable with each stay. This is what impressed me most about the Park Hyatt Shanghai, and it's why I'd be willing to return for a second visit. Many people find the Park Hyatt Shanghai too minimalistic, but to me, it's a classic and very aesthetically pleasing. Of course, everyone has their own opinion, and hotel experiences are inherently subjective. Finally, I'd like to thank Miumiu and Jerry, as well as Tommy Bao from the concierge on the first floor. Their service was impeccable, and I wouldn't have had such a great experience without them. I hope they receive proper recognition!

Staycation for our anniversary. The front desk lady was super friendly and her service was excellent, highly recommend. The fruit was delicious, and the cake was also very much to our liking, especially the chocolate-flavored cake topped with banana and pistachios – my partner absolutely loved it. It blows other first-tier hotels in Shanghai in the same price range out of the water! Would love to come back again.

Great location! Even though the decor is a bit dated, the facilities are well-maintained. They even surprised us with a birthday cake and a plush toy. This place is perfect for two families traveling together; the two rooms are directly across from each other with a connecting door that can be closed, which is super convenient.

Park Hyatt, as always, offers excellent service and a great environment. They even upgraded my room and gave me a gift.

The room was comfortable and well-designed. I casually mentioned that the key card was unique, and the staff went above and beyond by giving me a whole set of key cards. The service was exceptional.

I booked this room for my partner's birthday and requested one with a sunset view. The scenery was beautiful and the hotel service was good.

I had a slightly disappointing experience at the Park Hyatt Beijing in the past, so I was completely and utterly surprised by the incredible stay I had at the Park Hyatt Shanghai. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to all the hotel staff, from the front desk to housekeeping. Every single person demonstrated admirable professionalism and a meticulous attitude – thoughtful, diligent, and attentive. Every service interaction was flawless. A special shout-out goes to Manager Bai, who not only showed us our suite but also personally gave us a detailed room tour, patiently explaining every design detail and spatial consideration. The suite even featured collectible art books from brands like Chaumet and Prada. Not many people are familiar with Chaumet, so seeing those was a delightful surprise. This really speaks to the curated selection of books and the host's hospitality. What was even more touching was that, simply because I enjoy collecting room keys and postcards, the hotel thoughtfully prepared them in advance in the room. This level of subtle insight and care far exceeded my expectations. Outside the window, the Huangpu River, the Bund, the historic international architecture, and the Lujiazui Three Towers all shimmered together. During our stay, we experienced all sorts of weather, and what was truly special was that I wished for a pink sunset the day before, and then I actually saw one the next day! We were amazed; every type of weather was beautiful and romantic. My visit to Park Hyatt Shanghai was truly unforgettable.

Our room was quiet and the location was excellent. A big thank you to the lovely front desk lady who checked us in on the evening of July 6th. We arrived quite late, and she kindly upgraded us to a room with an Oriental Pearl Tower view, which was a fantastic use of hotel resources and greatly enhanced our experience. The next day, our child wanted to swim, and she also helped us get a late check-out. The front desk staff are flexible and warm; their attention to detail was truly heartwarming. We were very satisfied with this stay and will definitely choose this hotel again next time we're in Shanghai. Highly recommended!

You can tell the hotel puts a lot of thought into things; the view is truly amazing. Another great Park Hyatt experience!
