The Hyatt is one , but I believe that it is sometimes in the clouds, can any Ftalkers help?

You are correct about the Hyatt. For a very similar view from Pudong across the river to the Bund the place to be is the Shangri-La. I stayed there many times before the telecoms industry slump forced us to use cheaper places. The rooms are good (especially the higher floor, Bund-facing ones) and the service fine. I also like the Japanese restuarant and B.A.T.S, the bar in the basement which had much better live music than is usual in Asia.
