World's highest hotel likely in Shanghai by 2014

New Delhi, Dec 20 (ANI): China is likely to hold the record of having the 'World's Highest Hotel' when The Shanghai Tower J Hotel completes in 2014.

The new brand of Shanghai Jin Jiang International Hotels (Group) Co Ltd will span the 84th to 110th floors of the Shanghai Tower, which will rise 632 meters, or 121 stories, reports the China Daily.

The hotel, which began construction two years ago, will feature 258 luxury guestrooms and the lobby will be on the 101st floor.

Jin Jiang Hotels said it would be the world's highest luxury hotel when it opens in late 2014 or early 2015, surpassing the Park Hyatt Shanghai, which currently holds the honour.

The Shanghai Tower is located in the central business district of Lujiazui, Pudong district, near the Shanghai World Financial Center and Jin Mao Tower. (ANI)
