Afternoon tea with a view

I’m told that in the housing market there are three things that are important to buyers — location, location, and location. Well, in the afternoon tea market, there are also three things that are important — view, view, and view.

Yesterday I met a blog reader and in addition to exploring the city for a while, we had afternoon tea in the 87th floor lobby lounge at the Park Hyatt Shanghai.

While afternoon tea was rather expensive (not as bad as at the Burj Al Arab, but still), it was well worth it given the panoramic views of Shanghai from the lounge. To say the views were heavenly would be an understatement. Here are just a few pictures:

You get what you pay for. Clear day forecast room rates are $400+

The problems with tall hotels in China/HK/etc. is that you do very often lose the view. But Shanghai and Beijing are particularly bad. I sometimes giggle whenever I see the Ritz in HK shrouded in fog/smog/cloud.... which is just about half the year!

It's more smog than fog unfortunately. First time I went I was wheezing for 2 weeks straight. Now I always bring an inhaler.
