I have a simple definition for an extraordinary hotel: you enter it, you are awed by it and you do not want to leave it anymore. The Park Hyatt Hotel in Pudong perfectly fits this definition and so thinks the Wallpaper magazine. It ranked the Park Hyatt Hotel Shanghai as the best business hotel in the world. And I fully agree. The lobby is situated on the 87th floor and therefore higher than the now ten-year old Jin Mao Tower with the Grand Hyatt just across the road. The Park Hyatt is located in the tallest building in Shanghai, towering at 500m. The lobby is discrete with dark wood flooring and a tasteful art collection, all dimly lit for extra privacy. The room has the same cosy atmosphere with very clever use of space. The wooden panelling and flooring goes perfectly with the understated Italian fabrics. The complimentary Nespresso machine and the very cutting-edge Japanese-style heated toilet are the other things that make the Park Hyatt a very special hotel. The Park Hyatt is a hotel that is very discrete and at the same time very welcoming. I can highly recommend the Park Hyatt in Shanghai as well as its famous sister hotel in Japan to all discerning travelers.
PS: The Park Hyatt Hotel also features the fastest elevator in the world. It goes at 10m/s and makes your ears pop in no time.
