Frommer's Very Highly Recommended

The second Grand Hyatt to open in Shanghai, this new handsome contemporary hotel boasts a northern Bund address but is actually situated on the western bank of the Huangpu River in Hongkou, and is about a 10-minute walk from the Bund. All luxuriously appointed rooms have flatscreen LCD TVs, DVD players, and iPod docking stations. Floor-to-ceiling windows offer breathtaking views of either the Bund or Pudong, while suites give you the best of both worlds. Staff is exceedingly friendly and helpful and the hotel's restaurants consistently provide quality dining. As Hongkou district and the western shore of the Huangpu River continue to develop, look for this hotel to be much in demand from its river location. For now, travelers can benefit from highly competitive room rates. Facilities: 4 restaurants; 2 lounges; bar; juice bar; indoor pool; 24-hr. health club w/Jacuzzi and sauna; Yuan Spa; concierge; tour desk; 24-hr. business center; salon; 24-hr. room service; babysitting; same-day dry cleaning/laundry; nonsmoking rooms; executive-level rooms
