Luxury hotels are constantly striving to outdo each other in terms of height and prestige, and the latest battleground is between Shanghai and Dubai. The competition for the world’s tallest luxury hotel has been fierce, with Dubai’s Gevora Hotel holding the current record at 1,168 feet. However, Shanghai has recently made a splash in the race with the opening of the J Hotel Shanghai Tower.
The J Hotel, built atop the Shanghai Tower, boasts an impressive height of around 2,000 feet. While it doesn’t qualify as the tallest hotel according to Guinness World Records criteria, due to the technicality that the entire building must be a hotel, it does earn the title of the highest hotel in the world. The J Hotel offers 165 rooms, including 34 suites, and features luxurious amenities such as an indoor pool, butler service, a deluxe spa, and multiple dining options.

For those who can afford it, a stay at the J Hotel offers a luxurious experience high above the world, quite literally.
