Prologue:
Let's explain the situation, in China numbers are important for a couple, and 500 days is part of those numbers for a relation, so let's go! We're going to the Ritz-Carlton in Shanghai Pudong to celebrate that on Saturday, June 29 (yes, the YTR is very new!).A couple of days before we arrive, I've received an email from the Assistant Guest Recognition Manager to prepare our arrival, and suggest me to book a taxi for me. I explain them the situation and she replied me that all the staff is looking forward to meeting us.
This is said, let's discover this hotel!
We arrived on this Saturday June 29 at the Ritz Carlton of Shanghai Pudong
The reception desk is located on the 52th floor. When I arrived the staff at the reception desk welcomed me and called the Assistant Guest Recognition Manager. Once she arrived she offered a red rose to my gf and informed us that she upgraded us from a suite with city view to the suite with the Bund view. Then we accompany us to our suite and make the visit.
Our suite is located on the 39th floor
Our room is in the corner with the red point.

I got an issue while writing the report. So here are some additional info: breakfast offer was rich and diversified. It was in the Scena restaurant so you might have recognized the premises. One tiny negative point was that the juice wasn't fresh. We could have expected some fresh pressed fruits juice. You had a large choice of cold/hot dishes, western/asian style, salted and sweet.
Merci pour ce super reportage. Un upgrade fait toujours plaisir. D'autant plus dans cet hotel. La chambre est juste top. Je m'attendais a un buffet pour le pdj un plus plus grand.
Thank you Antoine for this lovely TR.
Congratulations on the upgrade! It sets the tone for a really enjoyable stay.
The room is amazing and I love the hardwood floor. It gives an elegant feeling and the WC is truly well appointed.
I'm surprised that for a suite and a hotel of that category the drinks are not free. What is the cost for those drinks? I'm sure it is minimal compared to the positive impression that the hotel would generate if they were offered for free. They should think of it as "marketing" spending.
The gym and facilities look wonderful and I'm sure it was needed after all the indulgences. ;)
I don't think it is unrealistic to expect freshly squeezed juice for breakfast.
Indeed, when the stay starts with an upgrade everything can only go well!
For the snacks and beverage in the room, the price was quite high, e.g. 5USD for a coke... I agree with you that it should be complementary (Bulgari hotel does that), especially when you know the price of the room (the original price of that room was 900USD if I'm correct).
For the breakfast, Renaissance hotel in HK (also belonging to Marriott group) does have some freshly squeezed juice. However, the hotel is not defined as luxury but only premium.
Franchement, il y a bien pire !!!!!! Merci pour m'avoir fait rêver le temps d'un instant !!!
