Park Hyatt Shanghai claims the distinction as the world's highest hotel, occupying floors 79-93 of the Shanghai World Financial Center at 1,614 feet above the city. Tony Chi's design transforms 174 rooms and suites into a modern Chinese residence concept, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame spectacular Huangpu River views while multiple dining venues and an infinity pool create an unparalleled luxury experience suspended in the clouds.
Soaring above Shanghai's glittering skyline from the 79th to 93rd floors of the iconic Shanghai World Financial Center, Park Hyatt Shanghai redefines luxury hospitality as the world's highest hotel. This architectural marvel transforms the concept of urban retreat, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame the sprawling metropolis 1,614 feet below, creating an unparalleled sanctuary in the clouds.
Designed by renowned New York-based interior designer Tony Chi, this Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star property opened as Hyatt's flagship in China, embodying the essence of a modern Chinese residence. Chi's masterful vision draws inspiration from traditional Suzhou mansions and classical Chinese gardens, weaving together contemporary sophistication with cultural heritage. The interiors showcase a serene palette of gray, cream, and chocolate-brown hues complemented by dark wood, plush leathers, and natural materials, while playful artistic touches—including Beijing artist Gao Xiaowu's welcoming porcelain figures—add unexpected delight to the minimalist aesthetic.
The hotel's 174 meticulously crafted rooms and suites maximize every inch of space with intentional design, featuring lacquered walls, marble countertops, and contemporary artwork. Each accommodation offers commanding views through expansive windows overlooking either downtown Shanghai or the dynamic Pudong district, with the Huangpu River creating a dramatic backdrop. The residential-style accommodations emphasize comfort and tranquility, providing a calm counterpoint to the city's relentless energy below.
Culinary experiences reach new heights across multiple floors, with the 87th-floor Dining Room showcasing modern Shanghainese, Zhejiang, and Jiangsu cuisines alongside rare teas and Chinese wines. The 91st floor presents dual dining concepts: 100 Century Avenue Steakhouse on the west side featuring premium beef and proteins, while the east side houses 100 Century Avenue Cantonese, serving authentic dim sum and Lingnan-style specialties. Each venue capitalizes on the hotel's extraordinary elevation with panoramic city vistas.
The 85th-floor Water's Edge wellness sanctuary features a dramatic 20-meter infinity pool that appears to merge with the skyline, complemented by a spa with two treatment rooms and a state-of-the-art fitness center. Daily Tai Chi sessions in the dedicated courtyard offer guests a mindful connection to Chinese wellness traditions while suspended high above the urban landscape.
