Hyatt Regency first upscale resort on Chongming Island

THE Hyatt Regency Chongming, located on Chongming Island in Shanghai, introduces the Hyatt Regency brand to Shanghai and is the first international upscale resort on the island.

Situated at the mouth of the Yangtze River and the East China Sea, Chongming is the world’s largest alluvial river island. Sparsely developed and dotted with organic farms, rural villages, national parks and wetlands, it is a coveted retreat destination for Shanghai urban dwellers seeking fresh air, nature adventures and excellent dining that uses local ingredients. The island is conveniently linked to the mainland by a tunnel and bridge, and is just a 60-minute drive from downtown Shanghai.

“It is a privilege to unveil the first international upscale hotel on the ecologically rich island of Chongming. As the only resort destination to offer pristine landscapes and nature-based experiences so close to the Shanghai metropolis, we look forward to providing an environment that fosters meaningful relationships and connections. To exceeding the expectations of our business and leisure guests with great facilities, exciting dining options and innovative event venues,” said Douglas Schwab, general manager of Hyatt Regency Chongming.

Hyatt Regency Chongming is set in a beautiful natural environment beside the Dongtan Wetland Park and a migratory bird reserve. The resort’s six buildings are connected by a covered Chinese-style walkway, and extensive gardens are landscaped with flowers, streams and arched bridges.
