China's first Ritz-Carlton is truly a wonderful place to stay!

🏨Name: The Portman Ritz-Carlton, Shanghai 🏨 Opened in 1998, the hotel was the first Ritz-Carlton in China and is Shanghai's only "Platinum Five-Star Hotel." The building has a unique "mountain" shape, and the interior blends the archways of old Shanghai alleyways with the red-lacquered pillars of Chinese palace architecture, creating a seamless fusion of East and West. 🛏️ The rooms are spacious and comfortable, exquisitely decorated, and fully equipped. Outside the window, the bustling streets of Shanghai showcase the city's vibrancy. The full set of diptyque toiletries in the bathroom provides a luxurious experience. 🍽️ The hotel's dining experience is unforgettable. Portman's buffet lunch features fresh ingredients and a wide variety of dishes, including seafood, sashimi, grilled meats, Chinese hot dishes, and desserts… each one a masterpiece. We especially recommend their seafood selection area, with shrimp, mussels, and jade whelks bursting with freshness. The desserts, both beautiful and delicious, are so exquisite that you'll almost hate to eat them. 🥂 Afternoon tea at the Ritz Lounge is another must-try experience. On a warm afternoon, enjoy a leisurely time with friends, savoring delicate pastries and sipping aromatic coffee or tea. The pastries include not only classic Western styles but also creative options incorporating local Shanghai flavors, such as the Peony Pastry and the Black Glutinous Rice Mascarpone Hemisphere, offering unique and unforgettable tastes. 🏊‍♀️ The fitness center is fully equipped with both indoor and outdoor swimming pools for your choice. Maintain your workout routine even during a busy trip, allowing your body and mind to relax. 💁‍♀️ The service is impeccable. From the moment you step into the hotel, you can feel the warmth and professionalism of the staff. They are always attentive to every guest's needs, making you feel at home.
