Shanghai`s Jin Jiang to Build World`s Highest Hotel, Displacing Hong Kong

Write: Jonie [2011-05-20]
SHANGHAI Jin Jiang International Hotels Group Co. plans to build the world`s highest hotel in the Chinese city that will displace the neighboring Park Hyatt and the Ritz-Carlton that will open in Hong Kong in March.
The venture with Shanghai Tower Development Co. will develop the 258-room Shanghai Tower J-Hotel, which will occupy the 84th to the 110th floors of the 121-story building. The 632- meter Shanghai Tower in the Pudong business hub is set to be the world`s second-tallest building when it`s completed in 2014.
China`s richest city also accelerated its expansion of the subway system to more than 400 kilometers (248 miles) to cater to the influx of visitors, making it the biggest city transport underground network in the country.
