About Park Hyatt Shanghai
- The Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong was the specific hotel that eclipsed this title in 2011, inside a 101-storey tower.
- The SWFC's distinctive trapezoidal aperture at the crown, nicknamed 'the bottle opener' by locals, was originally designed as a circular opening that was changed to a rectangle to reduce perceived resemblance to the rising sun on the Japanese flag during the Asian financial crisis that delayed construction.
- The spa sits on the 87th floor and the Dining Room on the 91st floor, making the latter one of only a handful of Michelin-selected restaurants in the world operating above 400 metres.
- Kohn Pedersen Fox designed the tower itself, the Shanghai World Financial Center.
- The Dining Room earned Michelin Guide selection in 2025 and a Black Pearl One Diamond in 2026, anchoring the property's F&B credentials three years after losing the world's-highest-hotel title.
