The Shanghai Portman Ritz-Carlton, located on Nanjing West Road in Shanghai, sits near Jing’an Temple and stands as the centerpiece of the Shanghai Center complex. Surrounded by a myriad of dining options, shanghai escorts bars, and shopping venues, it occupies a prestigious position within Shanghai’s commercial and residential districts. Facing the Shanghai Exhibition Center, the hotel offers panoramic views of the city, though perhaps not as iconic as those of the Bund, with select rooms boasting skyline vistas.
Access to the hotel is convenient, with approximately a 30-minute drive from Hongqiao International Airport and 60 minutes from Pudong International Airport. However, due to its prime business district location, parking can be challenging, requiring self-parking with payment at the Shanghai Center, with no valet service available.
Despite its bustling surroundings, the hotel exudes a serene ambiance, with calmness and orderliness pervading its every corner. The 486 guestrooms, primarily comprising deluxe, Shanghai-themed, and executive deluxe categories, are modestly sized at 38 square meters each. Offering budget-friendly options, base room rates start at approximately 1500 RMB. Connecting rooms are also available. The 44 suites, each exceeding 79 square meters, include the impressive 501-square-meter Ritz Suite, which was once chosen by former U.S. President Barack Obama during his visit to Shanghai.
Rooms are equipped with Sealy beds, linen bedding, down pillows and shawls, plush carpets, gold curtains, mahogany sliding doors, 37-inch LCD TVs, multimedia Bluetooth speakers, mini alarm clocks, and chargers. However, the number of sockets is insufficient, and some electrical appliances may appear slightly outdated. The marble shanghai escort bathrooms feature Asprey’s exclusive “Purple Water” amenities and deep bathtubs for indulgent soaking. It’s worth noting that due to the hotel’s longevity, some shower facilities may show signs of aging, potentially affecting the overall experience.
Boasting a total area of 5,636 square meters, the Portman Ritz-Carlton houses 13 meeting rooms, 11 unique function rooms, and a 900-square-meter atrium, catering to events ranging from board meetings to product launches and corporate celebrations. A dedicated meetings and catering team, including technical support specialists, ensures personalized service tailored to clients’ needs.
The executive floor offers an array of luxurious guestrooms and suites, including four penthouse suites on the 45th floor and the prestigious Ritz Suite on the 44th floor. These accommodations provide additional personal care products and a range of complimentary services during your stay, such as clothing pressing, itinerary arrangement, theater and restaurant reservations, and local tour planning. The executive lounge, open 24/7, serves exquisite refreshments and snacks in five sessions daily, accompanied by Chinese and English books and international newspapers, creating an ideal setting for business meetings, gatherings, or simply unwinding.
In terms of dining options, the Portman Ritz-Carlton Shanghai might seem limited in scale, featuring solely the Scandinavian-inspired Portman Restaurant and the craft cocktail lounge, Le Bar. The hotel also offers standard Ritz-Carlton amenities such as hydrotherapy massage tubs, steam rooms, and the Ritz Kids Adventure Nights, all of which can be booked in advance.
For fitness and recreation, the hotel boasts comprehensive facilities, including indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a whirlpool, basketball court, trampoline, squash court, and playground. Please note that the swimming pools will undergo maintenance from April 20 to May 6, 2018, and will reopen on May 7. Guests planning to visit these facilities are advised to check before booking.
