About J Hotel Shanghai Tower
- Heavenly Jin restaurant on the 120th floor, at 556 metres above ground, holds the Guinness World Record for the highest restaurant located inside a building, higher than any comparable dining venue in Dubai, New York, or Tokyo.
- The hotel's interior design is the final completed project of the late Robert Bilkey, co-founder of Bilkey Llinas Design, who personally participated in the commission before his death; the studio had previously designed the Four Seasons Hangzhou at West Lake.
- Shanghai Tower's double-skin curtain wall twists 120 degrees from base to crown, a design by Gensler that reduces wind loads by 24 percent compared to a conventional rectangular tower and allowed the building to use 32 percent less structural steel.
- The elevators serving the hotel travel at 18 metres per second, among the fastest in the world, ascending from ground level to the lobby on the 101st floor in under a minute.
- J Hotel is owned by Jin Jiang International, the world's second-largest hotel group by room count, which spent a decade developing the brand before opening; the Shanghai Tower commission was conceived as a statement of ambition for China's homegrown luxury hospitality industry.
