Grand Hyatt hotel Shanghai
Jumeirah Himalayas Hotel, Shanghai

Kerry Hotel, Shanghai
Park Hyatt hotel Shanghai
At least until Dubai decides otherwise, the new Park Hyatt will be in the record books as the tallest hotel in the world. Occupying floors 79 through 93 in the World Financial Center in Lujiazui, the Park Hyatt completes a trifecta for Hyatt in Shanghai, adding to their pre-existing Grand Hyatt and newly opened Hyatt on the Bund. As one would expect from both the “Park” moniker and a hotel occupying what is without a doubt the city’s most tantalizing real estate, the Hyatt is sparing no expense to impress. The 174 guest rooms, including 34 suites, have all been created by New York-based designer Tony Chi, and attempt to incorporate elements of Chinese tradition. The top three floors will be dedicated to F&B, including a restaurant with 25 meter floor-to-ceiling windows.

Hilton Shanghai hotel
JIA Boutique Hotel, Shanghai

But once you walk in, it’s a completely different world: bold colors, contemporary artworks and über-chic décor make up the boutique hotel JIA Shanghai. The hotel has just 55 rooms (with two penthouses), all with stylish designs that make you feel as if you’ve stepped into a magazine spread.
PuLi Hotel & Spa Shanghai
Pu li” means "beautiful uncut jade." Looking at the design of the PuLi Hotel and Spa, you might be left guessing what the connection is, except for the fact that the 22 floor, 209 room, and 20 suite hotel doesn't fail to impress when it comes to luxury. All of the hotel’s rooms feature flat screen TVs, and DVD players. The 120 seat restaurant serves a Western menu for lunch and dinner, and their first floor bar is adorned with a fireplace.
