What they say
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
Starting on the 53rd floor of the 88-story Jin Mao Tower, this property has views of the Huangpu River and the city beyond.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set along Century Avenue in Lujiazui, the tower rises amidst Pudong financial towers directly across the river from the Bund.
The rooms
Art Deco touches meet traditional Chinese calligraphy and floor-to-ceiling glass framing river traffic along the Huangpu.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Heated under an illuminated curved canopy on the 57th floor, the indoor pool looks straight out over Pudong.
The spa
Private treatment suites at Club Oasis Spa face the night skyline, accompanied by a sauna, steam room, and whirlpool.
At the table
Cloud 9 serves cocktails directly beneath the tower spire, and Club Jin Mao prepares Shanghainese dishes on the 86th floor.
How it began
SOM designed the 88-story Jin Mao Tower to evoke a tiered pagoda, proportioned around setbacks inspired by the number eight.
