Sleeping on the 85th Floor of Jinmao Tower at Grand Hyatt Shanghai
Check in on the 85th floor and you are sleeping more than 300 metres above Shanghai. That is the whole point of the Grand Hyatt Shanghai, which occupies the upper storeys of Jinmao Tower rather than sitting beside it.
One visitor described the night in a single line: check in at 85, sleep 300-plus metres up in the air. That is the shape of the stay — you ride up, the city drops away, and the room is where the view is.
What the height actually buys you is orientation. From up there the Huangpu, the Bund curve and the Pudong towers are all laid out under the window instead of around you, and at night it is lit.
If you want the tower itself rather than a view of it, this is the way to get it. Rooms at this altitude are the scarce part of the Shanghai market, so it is worth compare all before you fix a date.
