World's Best Hotel Beds
by Josey Miller
From such great heights: Each guest room on the 88th floor of the Park Hyatt Shanghai boasts the highest hotel bed in the world—and the view to prove it. Talk about bragging rights.
Snooze factor: Way up there. If you're looking for calm in this chaotic city setting, dream on; despite the sleek and sophisticated decor, the hotel is surrounded by Shanghai's frenzied Lujiazui financial district. But once the workday is done, you can escape to the Park Hyatt's Tai Chi courtyard, the Water's Edge Spa—or your private room. Besides sweeping views of the Bund or the Huangpu River, 88th-floor guest rooms feature a bathing area with a heated floor and a rain shower that streams water down from—surprise, surprise—unusually high 12-foot ceilings. Now that's uplifting.
Who goes there: Needless to say, a sky-scraping bed 1,279 feet above street level is not intended for the acrophobic. But if you're a thrill-seeker with an appetite for power and the "Vertical City" is just the first stop in your plot to conquer the world, this is the bed for you.
Undercover info: Want to get really high? Take the elevator to the 100 Century Avenue bar on the 92nd floor for another moment of Zen: sipping sparkling wine while listening to live jazz and watching the sun set through floor-to-ceiling windows.
