Shanghai Photo Gallery - J Hotel

J Hotel sits at the top part of China's tallest building, Shanghai Tower. It opened in June 2021 with 165 rooms, including 34 suites.
Shanghai Tower joins many other tall buildings in Lujiazui with observation decks. However, admission prices are not cheap so why not use that for a drink or a snack without having to push through the crowds?
I set my eyes on the hotel's Lobby Lounge at the 101st floor (470m) for a drink. At first, reception on the ground floor informed me due to the pandemic, the restaurants are only open to residents, but upon my insistence, they checked upstairs for a seat and got me a table.
The ground floor lobby already looks grand. You loop around admiring the structure, then go into a dark room with arranged flowers to get into the mood before entering the elevator.

My waitress was very kind and asked whether I mind sitting with the sunset rays beaming against me if I chose a window. There were many empty tables around so they had a lot of choice under the shade as well.

Staff were very friendly and happy to chat. Upon hearing my interest in the view and the food offering, she took me up to the 120th floor where there is a lounge area with even more spectacular views.

Even the bathroom looks quite neat.
