Hyatt on the Bund: Luxury on the Bund

Spectacular views sum up Hyatt on the Bund, Shanghai's waterfront member of the Hyatt group.

The hotel takes its views very seriously, angling the rooms to ensures that the maximum number of guest rooms can "ooh" and "aah" over the views of Pudong and the Bund.

Inside, the rooms are so sleek you almost miss the tech perks like the flat-screen TV and iPod docking stations.

The room design is the definition of streamlined, so be wary of whom you’re sharing a room with: the hotel’s "open bathroom concept" includes many glass doors.

Be sure to check out Vue Restaurant and VUE Bar with striking, well, views. And, try the oolong tea foot soak and massage at the hotel’s Asian-inspired Yuan Spa.
