Jinmao Tower (Jinmao Dasha)
Jinmao Tower (Jinmao Dasha) Review
This gorgeous 88-floor (8 being the Chinese number implying wealth and prosperity), industrial, art-deco pagoda houses what is currently the highest hotel in the world—the Grand Hyatt Shanghai takes up the 53rd to 87th floors. The 88th-floor observation deck, reached in 45 seconds by two high-speed elevators, offers a 360-degree view of the city. The Jinmao combines the classic 13-tier Buddhist pagoda design with postmodern steel and glass. Check out the Hyatt's dramatic 33-story atrium or the Cloud Nine bar on the 87th floor.
