Shanghai opens world’s highest hotel – Roya News English

The world's highest luxury hotel, boasting a restaurant on the 120th floor and 24-hour personal butler service, has opened in Shanghai to guests with deep pockets and a head for heights.

Elevators whizz guests up the intimidating spiral-like skyscraper at ear-popping speeds of 18 meters per second to the J Hotel's 165 opulent rooms.

The hotel occupies the top floors of the 632-meter Shanghai Tower in the city's financial district, the second-tallest building in the world after Dubai's Burj Khalifa.
