BlackBook "Luxury hotel in the heart of JingAn District prides itself on offering the best "urban zen" experience in this bustlin' town."

""Within walking distance of the Bund," this geometric tower with a pointed apex has "spacious, elegant" rooms—makore-wood panels, silk-textured wallpaper, jade-colored ceramics." Full review
Star Service "At the far end of Shanghai's waterfront stretch known as The Bund, this sparkling high-rise hotel is the second Shanghai property from Hyatt and the first on the Puxi side of the Huangpu River." Full review

Time Out "With its position in southern Hongkou district, Hyatt on the Bund boasts stunning views south to the Bund and Pudong, especially from Vue Bar on the 32nd floor." Full review
BlackBook "The vast lobby feels a bit like walking into a merchant bank HQ, but the rooms are well-equipped and offer superlative views."
The Telegraph8.0
"Built as a Grand Hyatt but ultimately given a unique (and not quite accurate) title, this buzzy twin-towered hotel offers 620 contemporary rooms 'not far from the Bund'." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "Designed by in-demand Japanese firm Super Potato, Hyatt on the Bund's top-floor lounge bar is exotically styled as an upscale vineyard. Dressed in blond woods, bare bricks, and neon-lit..." 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"
