Who Grand Hyatt Shanghai suits — our verdict first
Grand Hyatt Shanghai is the hotel for people who want Shanghai’s vertical modern face, not its waterfront heritage face. You check in on the 54th floor of Jin Mao Tower and sleep between floors 56 and 87 — high enough that the Bund’s colonial line reads as a postcard across the river. The Sky Pool and Club Oasis complex are the lifestyle hooks; the Lujiazui address is the practical one for finance-district days.
It is a large five-star (548 rooms) with the polish and restaurant count that scale implies. If you want boutique quirk or Nanjing Road doorstep shopping, look at Hotel Indigo or Fairmont Peace on the Puxi bank instead.
Getting there from PVG and SHA
Pudong Airport pairs naturally with this hotel: Maglev to Longyang Road, then Metro Line 2 one stretch to Lujiazui, or a single taxi/Didi when you have luggage. Allow 45–60 minutes in normal conditions. Hongqiao arrivals ride Line 2 east across the city — slower than it looks on a map at rush hour, so leave buffer before evening meetings.
Tower logistics matter: you are not dropping bags at a street-level porte-cochère in the suburban-resort sense. Follow Grand Hyatt signage inside Jin Mao; first-timers should budget a few extra minutes on arrival day.
Where it sits: Lujiazui and Jin Mao Tower
Lujiazui is Shanghai’s purpose-built financial tip on the Pudong side of the Huangpu — Oriental Pearl, Shanghai Tower, SWFC and Jin Mao form the skyline postcard. Grand Hyatt’s position inside Jin Mao puts IFC Mall, Super Brand Mall and the riverside promenades in short walking range, while the Bund is a Metro, tunnel or taxi hop away rather than a stroll from the lobby.
That geography is the whole decision. Sightseeing days that start at Yu Garden or Nanjing Road cost a river crossing; days that start at observation decks and Pudong malls cost a lift ride.

Rooms, Sky Pool and Club Oasis
Rooms are classic Grand Hyatt: generous by Shanghai tower standards, marble bathrooms, and the view hierarchy (river/Bund vs city) drives price more than square metres alone. Club rooms unlock lounge access; confirm whether breakfast is in the lounge or a restaurant on your rate.
Club Oasis bundles the gym, spa treatments and the Sky Pool — the pool’s glass-walled city outlook is the amenity most guests remember. Peak evening hours get busy; morning swims are quieter if you are sensitive to crowds.
Eating in the tower and in Lujiazui
The hotel’s restaurant row covers Shanghainese, Cantonese, Japanese, Italian and grill options — enough that bad-weather nights never force you outdoors. Outside, Lujiazui’s malls hold every international chain and a deep Chinese restaurant stack within a covered walk.
For classic Bund neon, you still cross the river. Many guests do one Puxi evening for the promenade, then retreat to Pudong for the rest of the stay.
How it compares with our other Shanghai picks
Pudong Shangri-La is the other big Lujiazui luxury play — more sprawling riverside campus, larger room count, Chi spa. Fairmont Peace is the Bund heritage counterweight. Hotel Indigo is smaller and design-led on the southern Bund.
Grand Hyatt wins when you specifically want the Jin Mao high-rise experience and Hyatt ecosystem. If riverfront gardens and a broader resort footprint matter more than sleeping inside the spire, Shangri-La is the closer sibling.
Booking notes and practical tips
Always state view preference (Bund/river vs city). Chinese public holidays and major exhibitions fill Lujiazui five-stars early. Typical nights often fall roughly in the £180–£350 band — indicative only; check the live partner rate on this page.
Elevators and peak checkout queues are part of tower life — leave extra time for morning Maglev connections to PVG.

Check live rates & availability*Frequently asked questions
Which floor is Grand Hyatt Shanghai on?
Guest rooms occupy floors 56–87 of Jin Mao Tower, with check-in on the 54th floor. Follow Grand Hyatt signs in the tower lobby.
How many rooms does Grand Hyatt Shanghai have?
548 rooms and suites across the upper floors of Jin Mao Tower, plus Club Oasis leisure facilities and multiple restaurants.
Does Grand Hyatt Shanghai have a pool?
Yes — the hotel’s Sky Pool is part of the Club Oasis offering and is known for its high-floor glass-walled city views. Confirm current opening hours when you stay.
How far is Grand Hyatt Shanghai from the Bund?
Across the Huangpu River — a short Metro, Bund tunnel or taxi hop rather than a comfortable walk from the lobby. Room views often face the Bund even when the promenade itself is not doorstep-walkable.
Grand Hyatt Shanghai vs Pudong Shangri-La?
Both are five-star Lujiazui stays. Grand Hyatt is the high-rise Jin Mao experience; Shangri-La is a larger two-tower riverside property with a broader resort footprint and Chi spa.
How do I get from PVG to Grand Hyatt Shanghai?
Maglev to Longyang Road then Metro Line 2 to Lujiazui, or a taxi/Didi in about 40–55 minutes outside rush hour. Allow 45–60 minutes by rail.
Is Lujiazui a good area for first-time visitors?
Grand Hyatt Shanghai suits travellers who want the Pudong skyline experience from inside a landmark tower. Skip it if you are among guests who dislike lifts and high-rise hotels — check-in alone is on floor 54. Lujiazui only pays off when that area matches most of your evenings — not when it is merely the cheapest night.
What time is check-in at Grand Hyatt Shanghai?
From 15:00, with check-out by 12:00 on standard rates. Early check-in depends on availability — request it when booking if your flight lands early.
