The Grand Hyatt Shanghai Inspires Awe and Headaches
You know the scene. You open the door to your brand new hotel room, run over to the window, open the blinds and bam, you are hit with the anti-view. Maybe you are looking down a dirty alley, witnessing a drug deal, staring at an air shaft in the face, or seeing a brick wall. Whatever you are viewing it is not extremely pleasurable. Help out your fellow hotel mavens by uploading your anti-views to the HotelChatter/Flickr photo pool, or by sending the photo along to us. Remember to tell us the name of the hotel and the room number with the not-so-easy-on-the-eyes view.
This is unpleasant. This will make you dizzy. Therefore, this is an anti-view.
This comes to us via randomwire on Flickr, and it appears to be a shot of the Grand Hyatt Shanghai's rather grand atrium. Perhaps it is the composition of the shot or the way all of this comes together on our screen at such a wee hour on a weekday morning, but it brings pain to the eyes and to the head.
Rooms here start around 1750 CNY (around $255 USD) and offer floor-to-ceiling windows that look out onto the exterior — lovely views of the Pu Dong skyline await you after you've conquered the dizzying view you encounter on your way to your room.
And, um, did we forget to mention that this is sort of an epic architectural achievement that people come to Shanghai to see? The 555-room Hyatt occupies floors 53 to 87 of the landmark Jin Mao Tower, and this is actually a shot of its ultra-famous barrel-vaulted atrium, one of the tallest in the world.
Impressive, we admit — but we're still dizzy, and so this remains anti-view material.
