The Portman Ritz-Carlton, Shanghai, located near Shanghai's Jing'an Temple, is the centerpiece of the Shanghai Centre complex, surrounded by a variety of dining, bars and shopping options, and is one of Shanghai's most prestigious business and accommodation districts. Facing the Shanghai Exhibition Center, the hotel is not as representative of Shanghai as the Bund view, but it can also enjoy the beautiful scenery of Shanghai city, and some rooms can see the Shanghai skyline.
It is about 30 minutes by car from Hongqiao International Airport and 60 minutes by car from Pudong Airport, and the transportation is also convenient. Due to its location in a business district, parking at the hotel is very inconvenient, and self-parking is required at Shanghai Centre, and valet parking is not available.
It is located in a lively part of Shanghai, but everything in the hotel is very calm, quiet and orderly. The 486 guest rooms mainly include Deluxe Rooms, Shanghai Rooms, and Executive Deluxe Rooms, each with a small area of only 38 square meters. The price is cheaper, and the price of the basic room type is only about 1500 yuan. Connecting rooms are available. The 44 suites are all over 79 square meters, of which the Ritz-Carlton Suite is 501 square meters in size, which is also the choice of former US President Barack Obama to Shanghai.
The room is equipped with a Sealy bed, linen bedding, feather pillows and shawls, plush carpets, gold curtains, mahogany sliding doors, 37-inch LCD TV, multimedia Bluetooth speaker, mini alarm clock and charger, but the number of sockets in the room is insufficient, and the electrical equipment is slightly old. The marble bathroom is equipped with Asprey's signature "purple water" bath amenities and a deep soaking tub for a deep soak. Due to the long service life of the hotel, some shower facilities are aging, which may affect the user experience.
The Portman Ritz-Carlton features 13 meeting rooms, 11 unique function rooms, and a 900-square-meter atrium totaling 5,636 square meters for everything from boardrooms to product launches and corporate celebrations. Dedicated conference services and catering teams, including technical support specialists, are available to meet individual customer needs.
The Executive Floor features a wide range of luxurious rooms and suites, including four penthouse suites on the 45th floor of the hotel and the Ritz-Carlton Suite on the 44th floor, which offer additional personal care amenities and exclusive services during your stay, including complimentary pressing of clothes, itinerary arrangements, theatre and restaurant reservations, and local travel itinerary planning. The Executive Lounge is open 24 hours a day, offering fine dining and refreshments at five times a day, with books in English and Chinese and international newspapers and magazines, making it an ideal place for business meetings, gatherings and relaxation.
In terms of size, the Portman Ritz-Carlton, Shanghai has just too few dining options, with just a Scandinavian-style Portman restaurant and a craft cocktail lounge, the Ritz-Carlton. Jacuzzi for men and women, steam rooms, and Ritz-Carlton Kids Wilderness Nights are also standard at The Ritz-Carlton, which can be booked in advance.
Indoor and outdoor swimming pools, whirlpools, basketball courts, trampolines, squash courts and playgrounds are fully equipped with fitness and entertainment facilities, including the swimming pool will be closed from April 20 to May 6, 2018 for scheduled maintenance and will reopen on May 7, 2018.
