Park Hyatt Hotel is 492 meters high (101 floors) and is located on the 87th floor of the lobby living room for afternoon tea, known as "afternoon tea in the clouds". If you want to enjoy the beautiful scenery above Shanghai and pick a good weather, the best place to visit is Park Hyatt.
The Park Hyatt afternoon tea area is distributed in a long strip, with plenty of viewing spots. Sitting by the window, the landmark Oriental Pearl and the former tallest building Jin Mao Tower are far away from you, with a panoramic view of the Puxi and Pudong rivers, and the scenery is first-class. Therefore, coming here to drink afternoon tea has become one of the wishes of many tourists. There are usually a lot of guests on weekends, and Park Hyatt does not accept reservations from non-staying guests, so if you want to sit in the window seat smoothly, it is best to come early. The inside position is also comfortable, with plenty of natural light and a great view from the window. Of course, if you have the leisure to stay until nightfall, you can overlook the bustling night scene of the neon lights of Shanghai, and it is not worth the trip.
Park Hyatt supports a la carte dim sum, and the standard three-tier afternoon tea only has one set for two, and the dim sum will be changed from time to time. Similar to Mandarin Oriental, every snack in the Park Hyatt set menu is small, even the most filling scones. The ratio of salty snacks to sweethearts is equal, and it is usually not very full after eating, so there is no need to worry about coming after lunch. However, Park Hyatt's dim sum is not rich enough, the ingredients and shape are half inferior to Mandarin Oriental, and the three-tier shelves are pure white porcelain plates, similar to the light texture of Madeleine's dim sum, which seems a little monotonous, so some guests will think that the cost performance here is low.
The overall taste of the dim sum is not bad, and the dessert is especially popular. For example, raspberry puffs, lemon macarons, vanilla panna cotta, and scones with strawberry jam are all common flavors, which are not easy to make mistakes, and the production is also very stable, and the praise rate is high.
The ingredients used in the salty point are not bad, but the method is not very pleasing. For example, foie gras is not used to make common salty snacks, but to make macarons, and the foie gras is lined with a thick sweet and crispy skin, which is not the macaron flavor that most people love. The burger is seasoned with cuttlefish juice to make a small black burger, which is a little unsuitable in color and fishy when cooled, and the taste is not good. Boston lobster buns and cheese ham croissants play well and taste good.
The only tea in the set is an English black tea, dragon well and coffee, and there are not many choices. If you don't have a particular taste preference, we recommend considering English black tea, which is a traditional accompaniment to English afternoon tea, with sugar and milk, it tastes fragrant and tastes best with dim sum. Park Hyatt Hall also serves Western and Chinese dinners, and you can also order other drinks and Chinese desserts during afternoon tea time, but other drinks are not cost-effective and can be selected according to personal needs.
For hotels with the same level of consumption, Park Hyatt's service performance is mediocre, the response is not timely enough, and there are occasional bad reviews with poor service attitude. Overall, the best thing about the exterior is that if you're very focused on taste and experience, Park Hyatt might disappoint you.
The main entrance on the first floor of Park Hyatt is the entrance to the Tourism Hall, which is crowded with tourists from all over the world. If you want to have afternoon tea directly, enter through the door on the right and go directly to the 87th floor.
