What to expect from the world's tallest hotel
The highest hotel in the world offers four types of suites. The most luxurious (and expensive) is the Shanghai Suite, which measures an impressive 380 square meters and-in addition to the bedroom-includes a living room, study, kitchen, massage area and walk-in closet. Its price? Strictly top secret. Known prices, however, range from €403 per night for the least expensive rooms to nearly €7,600 for the J Suite.
On the dining front, the J Hotel Shanghai Tower offers. seven different restaurants: the Cantonese Heavenly Jin on the 120th floor, Japanese and Italian restaurants, and tea rooms. But it is the whole location that is extraordinary. Located in the heart of Lujiazui, Shanghai's financial center, it occupies the 84th to 105th full of the Shanghai Tower, in addition to the 120th (reserved for the restaurant). The views take your breath away: that of the spa (located on the 84th and 85th floors), the bedrooms, and the restaurants with their open kitchens.

The height, then, is record-breaking. And to think that, in 2018, the Guinness World Record certified Dubai's Gevora Hotel (which measures "only" 356 meters) as the world's tallest hotel.
