Nanjing From Above: Skyscraping Icons of Xinjiekou & Beyond
Nanjing is a city of dualities, where ancient city walls embrace soaring glass towers. For the discerning traveler, the best way to appreciate the capital of Jiangsu is from above. Our curated collection focuses on the vertical giants of the city, primarily centered around the bustling Xinjiekou district—the commercial heart of Nanjing—and the futuristic Hexi New Town. Experience the dizzying heights of the InterContinental Nanjing in the Zifeng Tower, the refined elegance of The Ritz-Carlton, Nanjing atop Deji Plaza, and the architectural marvel of Jumeirah Nanjing. Whether gazing upon Xuanwu Lake from The Westin or enjoying the heritage of the Jinling Hotel, these properties offer a window into the soul of a modern metropolis rooted in history.
Why Choose Nanjing for Nanjing From Above: Skyscraping Icons of Xinjiekou?
Nanjing's skyline has undergone a dramatic transformation, evolving into a spectacular forest of skyscrapers that rival Shanghai and Hong Kong. Choosing a high-rise hotel here isn't just about luxury bedding; it's about securing a front-row seat to a visual symphony. Staying in Xinjiekou or Hexi allows guests to witness the sun setting over the Yangtze River or the mist rolling over Purple Mountain from the comfort of their suites. Hotels like the InterContinental Nanjing (located in the 450-meter Zifeng Tower) and the Sofitel Nanjing Galaxy Suning offer unrivaled perspectives that ground-level accommodation simply cannot match. This collection is for those who seek to elevate their travel experience—literally.
Top Areas to Stay for Skyline Views
- Xinjiekou: The absolute center of Nanjing. Home to the Ritz-Carlton and the historic Jinling Hotel, this area is perfect for luxury shoppers and those who want to be in the middle of the action. The night view here is a sea of neon and bustling avenues.
- Gulou / Xuanwu Lake: Dominated by the Zifeng Tower and properties like The Westin Nanjing Xuanwu Lake, this area offers a blend of urban height and natural beauty, providing serene views of the lake and the ancient city wall.
- Hexi New Town: The face of modern Nanjing. Here, architectural masterpieces like Jumeirah Nanjing and Andaz Nanjing Hexi pierce the sky near the Yangtze River, offering a quieter, more futuristic luxury experience.
What to Expect from Nanjing's High-Rise Luxury
Expect world-class amenities paired with floor-to-ceiling windows. The hotels in this collection, such as the Sheraton Nanjing Kingsley Hotel & Towers, prioritize the 'view' as a key amenity.

Service in Nanjing's top-tier hotels is impeccable, blending traditional Chinese hospitality with international standards.
