The Portman Ritz-Carlton, Shanghai

Opened in 1998, this is the first Ritz-Carlton hotel in China. It has been renovated, but you can still feel the old-time atmosphere. Fortunately, it is well maintained, so it is not uncomfortable despite being old. It has a classic old-money style. The hotel service is still great. You can stay for around CNY 1,300, but you cannot enjoy Marriott executive benefits. The hotel is in a great location. There is a large shopping mall downstairs, and the Kerry Center is very close. There are many stylish coffee shops around. In addition, the name Portman is interesting. It is the name of the designer and also the owner of the hotel.
