Portman Ritz Carlton sits in an upscale Nanjing Road location with many dining and shopping options in walking distance.

If you travel by metro from PVG or SHA this hotel is between Nanjing Road West and Jing'an Temple metro stops, so you can get off any stop and either take a taxi or just walk with light luggage. Hotel check-in is inconveniently located at the very end of the hotel. I have stayed at a few Ritz Carlton locations worldwide and would rate this one as an average one, it looks like the hotel is lost in the middle of shops, doesn't have its own character. Rooms are ok and need upgrade, lobby is small and shared with multiple high end shops.
Breakfast options are good and staff is very helpful specially Bob in the breakfast area who got me a special vegetarian option as soon as he realized I was a vegetarian.
Overall, stay at this hotel for good location and not for the brand. This is not a Ritz. Attaching a few images, please check out.
