J Hotel Shanghai Tower

Perched atop the clouds, indulge in luxurious art. At J Hotel Shanghai Tower, gaze upon the vibrant Bund from above the clouds, savoring unique oriental aesthetics and impeccable service. Excellent! 👍

I chose J Hotel purely for the height and the dining experience it offered. Driving to the hotel, I went straight into the garage via entrance #2. My luggage was then delivered to my room by hotel staff from the lobby on the first floor. I booked the Xiangyun Family Room for three people. To my surprise, it was a king-size bed with an added smaller bed, which made the room feel a bit cramped and less luxurious than expected. Our room was on the 86th floor, the hotel's lowest floor, but still over 400 meters high. We first went up to the 101st floor for check-in, then took another elevator down to our room. There are several types of elevators inside, designated for different floors, and staff are on hand to guide you, so there's no need to worry about getting lost. The room itself was quite spacious, especially the bathroom, toilet, vanity area, and walk-in closet. Apart from the liquor box and chocolates, everything else in the room was complimentary. The sparkling water was really good. Upon check-in, I asked for the sunrise time. You can go directly to the restaurant on the 120th floor to watch the sunrise, which was indeed beautiful. Breakfast was served on the 101st floor. There was a good variety of options, but nothing particularly stood out. Breakfast was served until 11 am, which was a nice bonus.

Pretty good! My wife insisted on staying here, so we did. First off, free parking is a huge plus – just register with the concierge when you enter or exit. Secondly, the concierge service at the entrance is excellent, even better than the front desk! Room service response was a bit slow, but breakfast service was very good. The common areas here definitely offer a better view than the rooms, especially since there's an outer layer blocking the view from the rooms!

I specifically avoided booking the cheapest room type, but I was still shocked when I arrived at the hotel – the view was terrible... it felt like being in a cage. The views from the 101st and 120th floors weren't good either... the room's view was genuinely awful. I read in the reviews that there was a butler service, but I was never contacted. I did get a small chocolate cake, which was pretty good, by leaving a note through Trip.com's online remarks.

My long-awaited 'trip in the clouds' finally happened! The hotel's location and height are truly unparalleled. But what really stands out about the hotel itself is the service – it's absolutely top-notch! In the lobby on the 101st floor, watching the clouds drift by, boats sailing up and down the Huangpu River, from dusk till night, from sunset to a city ablaze with lights, Shanghai's century-old dream is dreaming again tonight! I love moments like these, simply whiling away the time, drink after drink, sipping Italian sparkling or still water, with the clouds moving beneath my feet and the wind sweeping in from the river. The night passed peacefully. In the morning, raindrops tapped against the window, and 'Magic City' was hidden in the mist, completely out of sight. Someone mentioned the restaurant's breakfast was excellent, and I wholeheartedly agree. Every dish was exquisite and delicious. We enjoyed a long breakfast, from when the restaurant was nearly empty to bustling with people, and then gradually quietening down again. As we left, it started pouring rain outside. Across the street, the cherry blossoms bloomed in an endless, mournful beauty. The doorman held an umbrella for us, escorted us to the car, and helped with our luggage. Until we meet again!

Flawless. This is China's tallest building, with convenient transportation, and IFC is right downstairs. It truly gives you a feeling of 'standing atop the mountain, looking down on all the peaks.' **View:** The room offers an unbeatable view, overlooking all of Lujiazui and Puxi. The night view is especially stunning. **Service:** Butler Eve Xiang provided very responsive service, from check-in to check-out she was polite and highly professional. **Rare Journey:** Promotes traditional Chinese art, a visual feast, absolutely amazing. **Facilities:** The gym and pool are both excellent, with new hardware that is well-maintained. J Hotel isn't just selling a view; they are dedicated to providing exceptional service. Highly recommended for those who appreciate quality and attention to detail.

I originally thought I might see snow on the Shanghai Tower during the cold snap, but it turned out to be a no-show… So, let's talk about the hotel itself. I feel like 1/3 of the room rate goes to the high-altitude view, 1/3 to the breakfast and fitness facilities, and 1/3 to the room itself. [Rose emoji] Perhaps it was because I had seen a lot of negative reviews before, which lowered my expectations, so staying at J Hotel was a pleasant surprise. First of all, the artwork and decor aren't as tacky as some claim; maybe the front desk is a bit questionable, but the entrance and elevator lobbies have a very distinctive Shanghai style. 🏠 The room is huge, and I personally feel the space is a bit wasted. Sixty-something square meters, and it's already a suite configuration. The bathroom is ridiculously large, even having a dedicated vanity table – you could practically wall off another room! There’s a desk in the room, which is super practical for us 'workhorses'. The welcome fruit was also generous; my son said it was the best strawberry he'd ever eaten 🍓. I specifically checked the details and cleanliness, and the overall maintenance is excellent. The 2-meter king bed easily fits three people, but! The bed frame is so high, combined with the mattress, you have to 'climb' into bed, which isn't very friendly for elderly guests or those with mobility issues. 🍞 The breakfast is definitely in the top three of all the hotels I've stayed at. Chinese, Western, and even Japanese options are available, with excellent quality and presentation. The buffet plus à la carte style offers a wide range of choices; you'll want to try everything, but one day isn't enough. Compared to this, the breakfast at Park Hyatt falls a bit short. 🏊🏻♂️ The pool is on the 84th floor. You need to go to the 85th floor to change and then take the elevator down. The facilities are relatively basic – no children's pool, hot tubs, or sauna, and the pool itself isn't standard-sized. Of course, the view is absolutely breathtaking. Compared to the pool, the gym facilities are much better. It's equipped with a full set of Technogym equipment, including stair climbers, ellipticals, rowing machines, and treadmills. Other machines are also comprehensive; it feels like you could train for a Hyrox event here. 🤵🏻♂️ Service: This is the hotel with the highest staff-to-guest ratio I've ever experienced. No matter where you go, you'll see staff members, and they are all very professional. Jinjiang truly has deep pockets. Comparison: The high-altitude hotels in Lujiazui (the 'Lujiazui Three-Piece Suit') actually have pretty similar views. Of course, only at J can you see the World Financial Center like in Picture 1. Waking up and drawing the curtains, you'll definitely get a case of megalophobia [laugh-cry emoji]. J is the newest and most expensive, and its hardware is undoubtedly the strongest – you get what you pay for. Park Hyatt and Grand Hyatt Jin Mao are a bit older. Park Hyatt is more minimalist and elegant, and the rooms are still well-maintained. Grand Hyatt Jin Mao's rooms are slightly cramped, especially the ceiling height, which is a significant drawback. However, if you can get it for around a thousand yuan, it's still worth staying at.

We stayed at this hotel for my mom's birthday. Overall, I was quite satisfied. They gave us a free room upgrade and birthday decorations, and complimentary birthday cake and fruit. The room's environment and facilities were pretty good, and the hotel's lunch and breakfast were also nice.

The room was beautiful and the night view was absolutely stunning. Downstairs, you're right at the Lujiazui 'three-piece suit' (Oriental Pearl, Jin Mao Tower, Shanghai World Financial Center) photo spots. Breakfast was incredibly rich and varied; you could easily spend an hour just posing for pictures. We also had a 'Golden Key' concierge give us a tour and explain the hotel's features, which was a fantastic experience!
