- Completion was timed to China's National Day, 1 October 2003, at the western end of the Nanjing Road pedestrian corridor.
- Architectural sources cite a reading room on one of the highest public floors as among the world's highest libraries.
History
JW Marriott Hotel Shanghai at Tomorrow Square occupies the upper 23 floors of a 60-storey, 285-metre tower at 399 West Nanjing Road, designed by John Portman & Associates and completed on 1 October 2003. The square plan rotates 45 degrees at the 37th floor to create a crystalline peak above People's Square, the site of the Shanghai International Settlement's former racecourse.
The setting
JW Marriott Hotel Shanghai at Tomorrow Square rises sixty stories above 399 West Nanjing Road at People's Square, Huangpu — where the city's grand cultural institutions converge around the plaza that once hosted the International Settlement's racecourse. The Shanghai Museum, housing one of the world's preeminent collections of Chinese bronzes and ceramics, is a sixteen-minute walk south. The hotel's tower anchors the western end of the Nanjing Road pedestrian corridor — Asia's most famous shopping street — placing guests at the geographic and commercial centre of Puxi. 2 km from Bund.
