Grand Hyatt Hefei

Rooms start on the 43rd floor of a 55-story glass tower in Hefei's business district, so the city skyline and Swan Lake are the view from every direction. The hotel drew its design concept from an ancient Chinese poem about a pastoral utopia, which is either a very long reach or a very good joke, depending on your mood. Four dining venues include Jun House, where Anhui cooking and wood-fired Peking duck share a floor with the same sweeping views.
