While Heavenly Jin proudly holds the title for the highest restaurant in a building, it is essential to note that the highest restaurant in the world is situated at the Chacaltaya ski resort in Bolivia, reaching an elevation of 5,340 meters (just over 17,500 feet), according to Guinness World Records.
Moreover, Dubai has recently gained recognition for the “world’s largest drinking glass pyramid,” which was erected at Atlantis, The Palm hotel in time for the New Year celebrations of 2022.
