One of the Hyatt on the Bund's strongest marketing tools is its spectacular views. Its vantage point allows for an unparalleled sight of the grandeur of the Puxi Bund and the spectacular skyscrapers in Pudong.

Hosting dinner at home can be great -- you get to set the menu, you get to entertain with your tales of holidaying in the Bahamas, and best of all, you get to avoid the din of rowdy restaurants.

On the other hand, not every one is blessed with advanced culinary skills. As delicious at that Sunday paper recipe looked, recreating the same magic is a little bit beyond the average Joe. Not to mention the hassle of cleaning up after your guests leave after all your best pal's husband spills wine on your living room couch, maybe hosting dinner parties isn't such a great idea after all.

Hyatt on the Bund has a solution for your private dining needs. The Vue restaurant on the 30th floor is already set up to look like a private residence, but just one floor up large groups can enjoy a room all to themselves. These rooms can accommodate a minimum of eight people and the largest can comfortably seat 16 guests. Of course, about 20 could fit if push came to shove (pun fully intended).

One of the hotel's strongest marketing tools is its spectacular views. Its vantage point allows for an unparalleled sight of the grandeur of the Puxi Bund and the spectacular skyscrapers in Pudong. While there are those who love one or the other, this is something for everyone here.

The food at the Super Potato-designed restaurant has always been focused on classical European fare, and the set menus for the private dining rooms are the same. The Huangpu Road property is currently featuring Wagyu beef from Australia in a promotion with Elder's.

Wagyu refers to several breeds of cattle whose meat is intensely marbled and produces a high percentage of unsaturated fat. This marbling varies widely from cow to cow, so the meat is graded on a scale of 1 to 11. The two topmost grades are usually snapped up by Japanese consumers, which means that local food lovers have to be content with the already superb 9.
