    The entrance was confusing - no one came up to us to show us the direction of the lobby in spite of many staff waiting around. Normally you would be immediately supporter the moment you walked in. Small thing - but it was a first impression.

    They followed my request for a specific view - and even though this took some time (including a late check-in) they did well in a professional manner.

    Elevated luxury with unforgettable views and exceptional service

    • Skyline Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    On the ground floor outside the building, there was no one present to welcome me or assist with luggage – an unexpected gap in service for a hotel of this level. In the rooms, the building’s double façade creates a gap between the windows and the outer glass wall, making the view slightly less immediate than marketing images suggest; at night, the tinted outer glass significantly darkens the outlook. At the bar, there were no vegetarian snacks available on the menu apart from the complimentary nuts and grissini, which felt like a serious oversight for a hotel of this standard. Background music before the live performance in the bar was oddly mismatched, creating a sleepy atmosphere. The spa was closed for maintenance during my stay.

    The J Hotel Shanghai Tower delivers a truly elevated experience, both literally and figuratively. My upgraded Stateroom was a showcase of refined modern luxury, with a glossy dark floor, cream and gold accents, a superbly comfortable bed, and an elegant bathroom featuring a marble-bench rain shower and sculptural bathtub. Every detail was thoughtfully considered – from the Nespresso machine and premium minibar to whisper-quiet climate control and fully electronic curtains and lighting. The views over the Huangpu River and Shanghai’s skyline, especially by day, were simply breathtaking. Breakfast was outstanding, combining a refined buffet with à la carte options, fresh berries, multiple nut varieties, unsweetened yoghurt, and exceptional service. Staff throughout the stay were attentive without intrusion, anticipating needs before they were voiced. The bar offered spectacular river views, superb cocktails, and a refined atmosphere once the live music began. A takeaway breakfast box prepared for my early departure was beautifully presented and freshly made – a wonderful gesture.

    The restaurants do have service charges, which are hard to see and are usually 15%. They should be more noticeable or mentioned when taking orders.

    The staff were incredible, very friendly, the complimentary food (afternoon tea and breakfast) was top quality.

    The breakfast was excellent. The variety and quality of the food were all exceptional. Only suggestion is I hope there will be oatmeal, although you can order on the spot.

    I stayed in the J hotel for three nights. It was an amazing experience. It exceeds my expectations for a hotel in all aspects. I strongly believe that whoever travels to Shanghai, as long as financially capable, staying in this hotel is a must. Otherwise, the trip to Shanghai would not be considered complete, and you will regret it.

    Nothing. Everything was just perfect

    I simply had an exceptional stay. This hotel deserves more than 5* rates. Attentive, extremely helpful staff, ready to go extra mile to help you. My Thanks also to my personal butler Alex , who always went an extra mile . The Building of J Hotel , The Shanghai Tower speaks for themselves. It’s a piece of art. The Hotel have absolutely everything. Comfort, Clean, Hospitality, Art, Location, Breakfast and Afternoon Tea. The room are so spacious and very modern. I especially want to thank you for the surprise that was waiting for me in my room. A cake with a dedication for my birthday. It made my day even more special.

    All doors of bathroom are transparent, including toilet and shower room, lack of privacy. There is no difference between having a door and without a door.

    J hotel has great location which can overlook whole Shanghai. The hotel offers free afternoon tea that has variety choices. Every room has picture windows from which can see the whole Shanghai. Bed and pillows are soft and comfortable. Breakfast is extraordinary, having both buffet and À la carte choices. The foods have Michelin 3 star quality, tasty and exquisite. I will choose J hotel whenever I go to Shanghai again.
