Grand Hyatt Opens in Shenzhen, a Stone's Throw from Hong Kong

Where: Shenzhen, China

Are you a business traveler that heads to Southern China quite a bit? Or perhaps you're a tourist looking for a daytrip from visiting Hong Kong, and you just happen to have a Chinese visa in your passport. Whichever you are, you won't be able to miss the newest huge hotel on the block: The Grand Hyatt Shenzhen.

Now you may have already heard us talk about our love of the Hyatts in Shanghai, and of course for like every Hong Kong hotel, but a Grand Hyatt in Shenzhen gets our attention. You see, Shenzhen is China's second largest port after Shanghai, and it's super known for its manufacturing industries and financial powerhouses. Any new, giant luxury hotel means more beds for business travelers dumping capital into the economy. And they will be doing so in style...

The hotel will be attached the city's largest mall (and its Olympic-sized ice rink), for chrissakes, so there will be flash. The 491 rooms (including 48 long-stay apartments) include oversized rain showers with glass doors that automatically frost over when closed, self-contained workstations with WiFi, iPod hook-ups, and views of Shenzhen's downtown, with more of Hong Kong visible in the distance the higher up in the building you go.

Perhaps the highlight of the hotel, however, are its restaurants. We think that the Grand Hyatt is trying to do a foodie thing more than a wining-and-dining business travelers thing, because among their several upscale eateries is a show kitchen. They've also got private dining suites, a rustic pizzeria and a frickin' patisserie! Last time we were in a Grand Hyatt, it didn't feel like it's own little world, but then perhaps that's the route they're now taking with the Shenzhen property.

Rooms start at $115 and can be booked directly on their website.
