Jetsetter.com Sale
Starting 12/17 at 3pm EST
At the Grand Hyatt Shanghai, guests feel like they’re on top of the world in this exuberantly designed skyscraper, looking down on Shanghai’s changing-by-the-minute skyline and the historic buildings of the riverfront. With six restaurants that span cuisines of the world and three bars (all with those up-in-the-clouds views), you never need to leave the hotel. But when you do, Shanghai’s dynamic restaurant/club/cultural scene is just a short underwater metro ride across the Huangpu River.

Just bought a night off the jetsetter.com sale for this Hyatt to give it a try - It seems that my room isn't going to be a riverview one since it was such a good deal. Any idea if Hyatt will let me pay to upgrade when I check-in and what it would cost?
Cheers

upgrade question
I just booked a 3 night stay at GH Shanghai and confirmed a Grand King Suite using diamond upgrade cert. My question is will they give a river view suite as a Dia member? or can I use pts to upgrade to view suite or higher? Any experience? Thanks! BP

It's been a while since I've stayed at this hotel (moved to PH) but I didn't always get a river view. Some of the times I got a river view but it was not of the Bund area. The club, however, has an outstanding Bund view and that made up for it for me.

I was there in a suite 2 weeks and got a view of the Park Hyatt.

I am thinking of switching to PH, although it's more expensive. I learned from the other thread a FTer using DIA upg cert was given a diplomatic Suite at PH. At least PH doesn't have such view/non-view discrepancy, so there is better chance I can request a suite with good view.

That was what they gave me when I stayed there on the PVG-LAX mistake fare run I did. The standard suite upgrade gives you a city view, but they were nice enough (unprompted by me) to give me a river view upgrade on the 61st floor. Very nice it was too.

Can anyone comment on success with asked / not asked complimentary upgrades from rack rate to suites for Diamonds?
Thanks.
Thanks.

I think that's very unlikely to happen. If you are paying the prevailing rate, you might as well use 6000 points for 4 night suite ugrpade.
