Review: Park Hyatt Shanghai (Park King Room)
Perched on floors 79–93 of the Shanghai World Financial Centre, the Park Hyatt Shanghai delivers luxury living above the clouds with jaw-dropping Bund views.
Location
The Park Hyatt Shanghai occupies the upper floors of the Shanghai World Financial Centre (SWFC) in Lujiazui, Pudong’s financial district. Situated across the Huangpu River from the historic Bund, the hotel commands some of the most dramatic urban views on the planet. The Lujiazui metro station provides direct access to the rest of Shanghai, and the Bund is a short taxi or metro ride away.

The Property
Starting on the 79th floor and ascending to the 93rd, the Park Hyatt Shanghai was once the world’s highest hotel. The sense of elevation permeates every experience — from check-in to breakfast, you’re constantly aware of the extraordinary vantage point. The design is elegant and contemporary, with floor-to-ceiling windows throughout that maximize the panoramic views. The infinity pool and spa facilities are similarly perched in the clouds, creating a genuinely unique wellness experience.
Park King Room
The rooms are spacious and beautifully designed with quality materials and contemporary Chinese design elements. The star attraction is obviously the view — whether you face the Bund, the Pudong skyline, or the city sprawl below, the perspective is unlike anything most hotels can offer. Bedding is exceptional, and the rooms show some character from their years of operation but remain well-maintained.
Bathroom
Generous and well-appointed with premium fixtures, luxury bath products, and that same sense of soaring elevation. The bathtub positions near the window are particularly popular for obvious reasons. A proper Park Hyatt bathroom experience.
Restaurants & Bars
Dining Room (Breakfast)
Breakfast on the 91st floor with panoramic Shanghai views is an unforgettable experience. The quality matches the setting, with a well-curated mix of Western and Chinese breakfast options. Watching the city wake up from this altitude while enjoying excellent coffee and pastries is one of those hotel experiences that stays with you.
Bottom Line
The Park Hyatt Shanghai trades on its extraordinary location — and rightfully so. There are few hotels anywhere in the world that can match the sheer drama of its setting. Beyond the views, this is a well-executed Park Hyatt with strong service, quality rooms, and excellent dining. Some furnishings show their age, which is the only real criticism. For anyone visiting Shanghai, a stay here is an experience that transcends typical hotel accommodation.
Value
Cash rates typically range from $200–500 per night. As a Category 5 World of Hyatt property, award nights run 17,000–26,000 points.
At 20,000 points against a $350 cash rate, you’re looking at approximately 1.75 cents per point — near the 1.8 cpp sweet spot. For a Park Hyatt at this price point, the value is outstanding. This is widely considered one of the best Category 5 values in the entire World of Hyatt portfolio.
