Concierge "This twin-towered property doesn't get the 'Grand' title because there's already a Grand Hyatt nearby, however it's certainly of Grand Hyatt standard, but with a more contemporary deluxe style."
Fodor's "Near the banks of Suzhou Creek, the Hyatt on the Bund offers beautifully appointed rooms in an airy and modern building." Full review

Travel + Leisure "Relax in bed and enjoy the views of Shanghai's incredible skyline and the Bund from the floor-to-ceiling windows...step outside the hotel's front doors to go for a stroll along the Huangpu River"
