The staff were nothing short of impeccable. Their attention to detail and genuine warmth made me feel like royalty. The check-in process was seamless, and I was escorted to my room with a personal butler who ensured I was well-acquainted with all the amenities and services available. The room itself was a masterpiece of design. Spacious, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering breathtaking views of the city, it was adorned with luxurious linens, a plush king-sized bed, and state-of-the-art technology. The bathroom was equally impressive, featuring a deep soaking tub, a rain shower, and high-end toiletries that left me feeling pampered

...why only almost, more on that a little later. Just entering the foyer on the ground floor is fantastic, fresh, fragrant, beautiful flower bouquets everywhere. Then you can quickly take the express lift to the 101 floor, in less than 1 minute, without the waiting time like with the lifts for the Observatory next door. Once at the top (which is just below the observatory height) an incredible view opens up over Shanghai and the Bund. A very attentive, friendly team welcomes you and after a few minutes you are back at a separate elevator and you either go down a few floors or up. The rooms are very elegantly furnished, very large (minimum 60sqm) and absolutely luxurious. There's nothing to complain about, you have a fantastic view, in our case down to Jin-Mao and the WTC Tower(!). Great, especially in the evening/night. The bar on the 84th floor is also great and what is indescribable is the restaurant Heavenly-Jin on the 125th floor (see my review there). You can eat fantastically there, but not cheaply. But here you sit higher than the observatory in the building and also higher than the observatory in the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. There is a bar in front of the restaurant that also has a fantastic view. Since we didn't have that much time, but our feet hurt from working/sightseeing, we couldn't use the SPA (which is why I don't rate it), but we hoped we could at least relax a bit in the pool. And here's the reason for the "almost" from above: A hotel like this should be ashamed of that, shaded pool with cool water, not even a jacuzzi or anything. Lovely old chairs parked next to a few cheap loungers, no towel service, nothing! Shame on you! Since we were only there for 2 days and then had a great pool area in the W Hotel opposite, that was bearable, but it wasn't meant to be. Conclusion: Any time again, it's a really great hotel! You can rightly charge fantastic prices for this, but then the pool should really fit in with the rest of the hotel...

My visit to the J Hotel Shanghai was absolutely incredible! Outstanding service and staff, gorgeous accommodations, and magnificent restaurants!
Have you ever had dinner in the clouds? Heavenly Jin, the most exquisite restaurant in all of Shanghai, is not to be missed! Located on the 120th floor of the J Hotel in Shanghai Tower, this restaurant was awarded highest restaurant in a building in The Guinness Book of World records! From the moment you step foot off the elevator, it feels as if you have transcended into the heavens. The decor is impeccable, the floor and ceiling glistens as you walk throughout this restaurant. The illuminated bar and stunning furniture are just the tip of the iceberg when realizing just how magnificent this restaurant is. The 360-degree panoramic floor to ceiling windows gives you a bird’s eye view of The Bund and beyond! Needless to say, Heavenly Jin spared no expense on creating an unforgettable ambience for their guests.
The service and staff are equally amazing. Their kindness and generosity goes a long way when making sure the needs of their guests are met.
Dinner was utterly delectable! Every dish was flavorsome and mouthwatering! Dinner included: Huaiyang Style Stewed Water Chestnut Meatball Soup, Deep-Fried Crab and Taro Buns in Brown Sauce, Stewed Beef with Ginger, Scallion and Crab Oil, and Braised Prawn with Shredded Tofu and Vegetable Sauce.
I thoroughly enjoy my visit to Heavenly Jin and I sincerely look forward to my next visit. I highly recommend Heavenly Jin for an evening of delicious fare and splendor. It’s worth the splurge and should be experienced at least once while in Shanghai! ✨

I stayed on the 97th floor of J Hotel, and overall, it was a very comfortable experience. The room was spacious with high-quality finishes, including a large dressing area, shower, and bath, which was convenient. The decor was super tasteful, and the bed was comfortable (as you would expect) :-)
The view from the room was stunning. The Wi-Fi worked well, even with a VPN. The gym was well-equipped with Technogym machines and better than most hotel gyms I’ve used.
The breakfast was good, but that is the one area, which might have space for improvement :-)
If you’re looking for a high-end hotel in Shanghai, this one is worth considering.

I have been working in Shanghai for many years, and it was my first time celebrating my birthday in such a luxurious hotel. I was super happy, and the hotel butler was very enthusiastic, even decorating our room and scattering petals on it. Especially like the birthday cake made with the big towel on the bed, the three-layer cake looks particularly beautiful. A great stay experience, you don't have to go to Bulgari on your next anniversary.

Our stay at the J Hotel was a really great memory! The hotel's excellent location not only provides convenient access to major tourist attractions, but also the night view of Shanghai from the upper floors is so beautiful that I have looked out the window many times during my stay.
What impressed me most was the meticulous service of the staff. I am especially grateful to JoeJoe Xu for his thoughtfulness. I had my birthday during my stay, and when I returned to my room, I found a pretty towel cake decoration on the bed and a cute stuffed animal. In addition, there were even handwritten message cards, and I was impressed by their warm hospitality.
Thank you Xu for not telling us about it before the tick-in, but noticing all the details, it was a very memorable birthday 😊
