Suite Talk: The Ritz-Carlton Suite

When the Portman Ritz-Carlton, Jing’an do suites, they do them in style, and their incredible 5382ft Ritz-Carlton Suite, which has previously seen the likes of American President Obama, is the biggest in the city and one of the biggest in the world.

Designed by architects John Portman & Associates of Atlanta, not a detail goes spared in this suite: the décor is modern and fashionable, and yet going with the classic hues and shades that the Ritz Carlton has been known for and loved. At RMB 120,000 a night, a night in this room doesn’t come cheap, but then you’re guaranteed the best night’s sleep you’ve ever had in your life. Imagine the envy on your friends’ faces when you tell them you’ve spent a night there. Personalised concierge service, special in-room amenities including private gym and bar, goose down duvet with 100% Egyptian cotton sheets, as well as one of the biggest bathtubs we’ve ever seen. Not forgetting the fantastic views overlooking central Jing’an, a night in this hotel and you’re guaranteed to remember it for the rest of your life.

Still, if you can’t afford the big one, the standard club suites also provide most of the same excellent facilities, including a private lounge serving six complimentary food and beverage presentations daily, private 24 hour check-in and late check-out, high speed internet access, and use of one of Shanghai’s largest health clubs.
