Shanghai Tower is the second-tallest building in the world after Dubai’s Burj Khalifa. But on the 120th floor, the skyscraper boasts a restaurant in the world’s highest luxury hotel – “J Hotel”. Located in the city’s financial district, the hotel occupies the top floors of the 632-metre (2,073 feet) mega tall building. It has 165 opulent rooms and elevators that whizz at ear-popping 18 metres per second (65-kilometre per hour).
The J Hotel, part of Jin Jiang International Hotels, opened for guests on Saturday (June 19) after an earlier scheduled opening was delayed due to Coronavirus pandemic that hit the world. Besides 24-hour personal butler service, the world’s highest hotel also houses seven restaurants, multiple bars, a spa, and all the other usual bells and whistles of top-grade hotels.
Occupying the top 26 floors of the Shanghai Tower, J Hotel also has a swimming pool on the 84th floor. Obviously this hotel isn’t for those who need to consider the prices of the menu before ordering food and beverage. To celebrate its opening, however, the hotel is offering a “special experience rate” of 3,088 Yuan (US$477) a night. But prices for its 34 suites are skyrocketing expensive.
A night in “J Suite”, for example, will make you 67,000 Yuan (US$10,360) poorer. The 195-square-metre suite nevertheless comes with crystal chandeliers, a panoramic living room, a dining room for 8 persons, a bedroom, a bathroom, a dressing room, a well-equipped kitchen and a sauna room. If this fails to satisfy your appetite, there’re more suites to pamper you.
The “Jinjiang Suite”, a 210-square-metre suite, allows quests to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Shanghai with its 180-degree view design. The suite has a separate living room, bedroom, dressing room, dining room, study and guest washroom to ensure privacy. The Jinjiang Suite is connected to two prevailing guest rooms, allowing for further expansion of living space based on guest needs.
The “Shanghai Suite” is the highest-end suite at J Hotel. Boasting a jaw-dropping 380-square-metre space, the suite located on 98th floor is an integrated residence – offering a separate parlor, bedroom, dressing room, study, kitchen and even physiotherapy area. Guests are greeted by a luxurious Chinese phoenix and peony embroidery on the calfskin wall at the entrance.
The previous highest hotel in the world was the Rosewood Guangzhou, which occupies a 530-metre, 108-story CTF Finance Centre in Guangzhou, China. Situated on the top 39 floors of the building, Rosewood Guangzhou earned the status as the world’s tallest five-star hotel in 2019. Besides restaurants on the 107th floor, the hotel also boasts the world’s fastest elevator – travelling almost 70 feet (21 metres) per second.
Founded in 1996, Jin Jiang International Hotels, a major Chinese state-owned group, engage in hotel services, hotel management services, food and beverage services and goods supplies. It also operates Peace Hotel, Park Hotel, and Metropole Hotel. It acquired Europe’s Groupe du Louvre for €1.21 billion from U.S. investment firm Starwood Capital Group back in January 2015.
Four years after acquiring the French hotel chain Louvre Hotels Group, Jin Jiang splashed US$2 billion in February 2019 to acquire 51.15% of Stockholm-listed Radisson Hospitality AB, Radisson’s subsidiary in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. That made Jin Jiang the third-largest hotel chain in Africa, behind France’s Accor and Marriott International.
In October 2019, armed with 10,000 hotels and 1 million guest rooms in 120 countries, American hotel magazine HOTELS reported that Jin Jiang International Hotels Group has become the world’s second biggest hotel group. Listed in both Shanghai Stock Exchange and Hong Kong Stock Exchange, Jin Jiang generated revenue of 21 billion Yuan in 2019 and has a market capitalization of 52.4 billion Yuan.

Not surprised at all what Ketuanan Cina can do – and do it in grand style.
Call it capitalism or call it communism, any ism with Chinese characteristics works, and works blooming marvellous and world class, if not out of this world! I’ll settle for the Chinese ability to perform miracles after miracles Ketuanan Cina. What other way to describe supremacy that delivers and delivers magic – as opposed to any other ketuanan that’s just chest-thumping and tiny raisin testicle swinging that are acts to hide inadequacy, inferiority complex, and insecurities. While, of course, grossly incapable of boasting manhood but only seething jealousy.
Every since the Snake Pharaoh Dr Monster had his wet dreams of giant phalluses, created world’s longest flagpole, twin towering buildings… Malaysia had looked every bit a tiny dick glorified kampong headed forward to the past “Vision 2020” turned “Vision 2030” going boldly forward in order to get fcuking backward, Malaysiaboleh!
I once, and only once visited the yet other phallic wonder, the wan you pay to view the glory that is supposedly every town in Malaysia. I saw only fcuking haze from Indonesia caused by Malaysian-owned plantations. What else I was privileged to see were rusty brown tin roofs.
The J should be called Jingo China, it’s yet another of China’s many many fine hotels only possible through the practice of the highly successful Chinese ketuanan. If only our wretched and crap ketuanan were 5% as good, we would have climbed one rung up the ladder of civilisation. As it is, Malaysia is like those properly fcuked up origami coffins on four cheap tyres called Protons trying to drive a little bit further downhill without falling apart or repeatedly conking out – before getting passengers nowhere.
Thank Allah and Tuapekong, someone from Ketuanan Cina saved the day, took over the forever and ever massive loss-maker, turned it into a success. What’s more, the Chinese Uncle New owner even taught Malaysians how to cook a Malaysian veg kangkong. So talented Uncle taught our grandma’s how to suck eggs. So long as that doesn’t teach our thieving political monkeys how to siphon our money, all would theoretically be fine.
All would be “blue skies” if we go wan little step further, let Ketuanan Cina take over our country, since the last six decades our arseh*le retard political monkeys have done nothing than most giftedly fcuk up the country. Soon there will be nothing left in Malaysia to fcuk up.
Think of it this way, if Ketuanan Cina rules us, it will be very easy for us to visit the Motherland, check into the J. Our monkeys only need to work super hard, have nearly no holidays, stay awake and alive during work hours, work long hours, be enthusiastic about work, etc etc.
Maybe I should stop here, I don’t see much hope for Ketuanan Malaysia, just let the Indons, Banglas, and Pakees take over, I doubt Ketuanan Cina would give the blessed shiite about Malaysia, anyway, why would Ketuanan Cina want to be the supplier of infinite free dedak to braindead, excessively thick, lazy slaves?
And if our monkeys visit their J Hotel, them Chinese can be guaranteed the magnificent palace would turn into a dump – and smell like any Malaysian public toilet.
Now get back to sleep, you stupid monkeys.
And dream of our collection of giant phalluses, Alhamdulilah!
