Welcome the New Year in the highest dining room in Shanghai, if not China, for a very last time, as that title will pass to the J Hotel next door in the Shanghai Tower when that opens as the country's tallest building in 2016. The Dining Room at Park Hyatt this year has prepared a sumptuous buffet menu featuring extensive seafood selections and a lobster main course for New Year's Eve.
