The 'J Hotel', part of Jin Jiang International Hotels, opened for guests on Thursday. It was set to open earlier but was delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic in the world. The hotel has more than 160 rooms and occupies the top floors of the 632-metre Shanghai Tower in the city's financial district. After Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the Shanghai Tower is the second tallest building in the world.

It also houses seven restaurants, multiple bars, a spa, and all the other usual trappings of top-grade hotels. It also has a swimming pool on the 84th-floor. Guests are whizzed up in the blink of an eye as the elevators run at the ear-popping speeds of 18 metres per second.

To celebrate the hotel's opening, it is offering a "special experience rate" of 3,088 yuan ($450) a night and prices for its 34 suites are further up. A night in a "J Suite", complete with crystal chandeliers and sauna, this past Saturday costs over 67,000 yuan ($10,362).

"Of course this is very encouraging to all of us, but at the same time, we are committed to making sure that all our guests are well taken care of," Wu also said.
