Lonely Planet review

An elegant and bustling hotel inside the futuristic Canal City shopping and entertainment complex. There are great views, especially from the private rooftop garden, and the modern rooms combine hi-tech amenities with delicate shoji (sliding screen) touches.

The Grand Hyatt anchors ultra-modern Canal City, and the hotel lobby is a throbbing hub of activity with guests and visitors coming and going. Massive columns and rising squares of windows give it a space-station-with-clerks feeling, all overlooking the fountains outside. Rooms are large and smartly modern with recessed lighting, blond furnishings, striking artwork and spacious marble baths. Dine at one of three classy restaurants - Japanese, Chinese or European. A lobby bar overlooks the canal, and a cool jazz piano spot called Bar Fizz gets going after dark in the basement. To keep fit, check out the 25m (82ft) indoor swimming pool with skylight overhead, or fitness centre with Jacuzzi, massage and other spa essentials.
