Looking down on the Jin Mao Atrium

One of the centrepieces of Shanghai’s Pudong skyline, the Jin Mao Tower (meaning ‘Golden Prosperity Building’) is an 88-storey skyscraper that is home to the Grand Hyatt hotel and a number of shops, restaurants, nightclubs and offices. The Hyatt’s barrel-vaulted atrium is a spectacle for newcomers to the city, stretching from the hotel’s 56th floor and extending to the 87th. For a top-down view of the atrium, take the hotel elevator to the 85th floor or visit the Skywalk—an indoor admission-only observation deck on the 88th floor. The observation deck offers great views of Shanghai as well. The Hyatt also features a jazz club—Piano Bar—on the 53rd floor, a high-end Cantonese restaurant—Canton—on the 55th floor and a number of restaurants on the 56th floor. The base of the atrium offers the same stunning view of the spiral atrium, but from the bottom.
