Skidmore, Owings and Merrill’s 1998 Jin Mao Tower is, quite possibly, the perfect visual symbol of Shanghai, the city some call the New York of the next century. Rising some 88 stories above the new development in Pudong, it’s utterly futuristic, yet at the same time Art Deco-inspired, the ideal metaphor for Shanghai itself, a city at once forward-looking and mindful of its Thirties golden age.

No shrinking violet, Pudong’s Grand Hyatt hotel occupies the most ostentatious spot in town—floors 54 through 87 of the Jin Mao Tower. Views, naturally, are extraordinary, whether the sweeping panoramas of the city and the Huangpu river or the dizzying heights of the 33-story central atrium. And if it’s Guinness-book one-upmanship you’re after, the Grand Hyatt has that too; how about the world’s highest swimming pool, or the world’s only 88-story laundry chute.

The guest rooms mix Art Deco-inflected modern design and classical Chinese styles in varying measures, with dark wood paneling and trim alongside sleek, slightly retro furniture and vast beds as white as clouds—though, in the prevailing Asian style, not quite as soft as clouds. High-tech amenities abound, from web-enabled televisions to the by now familiar bedside control panels, and the bathrooms are a sight to behold, with clear glass sinks and heated mirrors inside the three-headed showers.

Services are over-the-top, in keeping with the general theme, and there are too many restaurants and bars to list—just remember Cloud 9, the 87th-floor lounge, for cocktails and Asian tapas with an extraordinary view. That “world’s highest pool” is something to see as well, stretching from window to window of the 57th floor.

The only drawback, for tourists at least, is the location—many find the Puxi side of the river more convenient, but a hotel like this needs its space. A short taxi trip, though, will take you into old Shanghai, and the Bund is an easy subway ride away.
