Continuing the Summer Luxury Chapter at The Portman Ritz-Carlton

Flipping through the yellowed old photo album, my fingers brush over a slightly wrinkled photo—the small figure standing in the hotel lobby, eyes full of curiosity and excitement, was my first encounter with luxury. More than twenty years ago, The Portman Ritz-Carlton, as Shanghai’s first legendary hotel honored with the title of "Six Stars," deeply imprinted the original image of "top-tier" in my innocent childhood memories.
I still remember the sparkling crystal chandelier behind the revolving door, the warm and polite smiles of the staff, and the faint, enchanting fragrance in the air... These fragmented moments piece together the warmest and most longed-for image of a "home away from home" in my heart, shining brightly through the years.
Two decades have quietly passed, yet the once legendary hotel still shines brilliantly. The familiar doorman, smiling warmly, opens the car door for me. In that instant, the consistently excellent service engraved in time gently pulls me back to those past days like a tender tide.
This time, staying in the carefully crafted Executive Room, looking out the window reveals the bustling city traffic, with noise and vitality rushing in; turning around, the room is a quiet and elegant sanctuary, soothing body and mind. The silky, skin-friendly bedding and thoughtful turndown service silently tell the timeless quality promise of Ritz-Carlton, making it irresistible to indulge in.
When it comes to awakening memories and creating new stories, the taste buds are undoubtedly the most faithful guide. The exquisite dining on the Executive Floor has never disappointed. In the morning, a hearty breakfast awakens vitality; in the afternoon, the blend of savory and sweet afternoon tea brings full healing; by dinner, the signature lobster bisque is unforgettable, each bite filled with respect for a quality life. Even more thoughtful is the exclusive shuttle service, making the ease and comfort of vacation accompany you from the moment you depart, ensuring a seamless and worry-free journey.
The most delightful surprise of this trip was the themed experience event jointly created by the hotel and Turkish Airlines! Stepping into the carefully decorated venue, the rich exotic atmosphere immediately enveloped me. The most unforgettable moment was holding a cup of rich, authentic Turkish coffee in my hands. The unique brewing method let the fragrant aroma linger at my nose, and the slightly grainy texture seemed to instantly transport me to the shores of the Bosphorus Strait. Watching the mysterious patterns formed by the coffee grounds added a touch of fun and romantic imagination to this afternoon moment.
From the fleeting glimpse twenty years ago to today’s warm reunion, The Portman Ritz-Carlton has always been the "home" that carries precious memories and upholds its quality promise. It has long surpassed the simple definition of a hotel, becoming a witness to time, bringing people the ultimate luxurious comfort experience time and again.
This summer, why not slow down your hurried pace? Let the legendary service and exquisite experiences of The Portman Ritz-Carlton open a unique vacation time for you. Whether revisiting old joys or creating new memories, every moment here is worth cherishing, turning into a golden mark shining brightly through the years.
