View of the Atrium from the Bottom of the Shanghai Grand Hyatt at Jinmao Tower 金茂大厦
Of the numerous photos I have seen of the Jinmao Tower, none can be more memorable than the image of the atrium of the hotel. The hotel which occupies the upper half of the Jinmao Tower is the Shanghai Grand Hyatt. I normally don’t feature commercial establishments except when they are restaurants but this one is quite special. The Shanghai Grand Hyatt occupies the 53rd to the 87th floor. I took a lift all the way up to the 54th floor. The 53rd had some kind of bar, which I don’t think was a good place for me to wander around looking like a tourist.
Band Playing at the Cafe at the Shanghai Grand Hyatt at the Jinmao Tower 金茂大厦
The 54th floor was the hotel lobby and cafe which turned out to be the perfect place for me to do my stuff. It was here where I took photos of Shanghai. However, the main feature here is the cafe and its grand atrium which goes all the way up the 87th floor. It is a truly amazing sight. It counts as one of the worlds highest atria. It would have been interesting to see the view from the top but I wasn’t sure if I would be able to do that. I took some time exploring the rest of the nearby floors where there were restaurants and bars before finally leaving. The Jinmao Tower is truly one of the most beautiful buildings I have even been too, and I was fortunate to have visited it.
