The J Hotel Shanghai Tower, which opened on June 19, isn't just another high-end property.
It claims to be the highest hotel in the world. The J Hotel occupies the top floors of the Shanghai Tower -- which at 632 meters (about 2,000 feet) is the tallest building in all of China.
Aside from impressive bragging rights, what is the hotel actually like? The J has 165 rooms, of which 34 are suites. There's 24/7 personal butler service, an indoor swimming pool, toiletries by Hermes and Diptyque, magnolia petal-shaped bathtubs, a luxe spa with a focus on Reiki treatments and full Chinese tea sets in every room.
The hotel has four suites, with the most expensive being the 380 square meter Shanghai Suite. Besides the bedroom, this suite includes a parlor, study, kitchen, physiotherapy area and a room just for getting dressed. (The hotel did not reply to CNN Travel's request for a price.)

The least expensive room goes for 3,601 RMB (about $557) per night, while the J Suite -- one notch less posh han the Shanghai Suite -- costs 67,628 RMB per night (about $10,467).
There are also seven different places to eat within the hotel including a Cantonese restaurant called Heavenly Jin on the top (that would be 120th) floor. There are also restaurants offering Japanese food, Italian food and afternoon tea.
The J Hotel is owned by Jin Jiang International. One of China's largest hotel and tourism enterprise groups, it's part of the state-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.
