Summer is always the best of times in Shanghai, when the city really comes to life. And The Portman Rtiz-Carlton, Shanghai has officially opened Terrace 8 to enhance those summer vibes even further.
Located on Level 8 at The Portman Ritz-Carlton, Shanghai under the roof of Shanghai Centre, this beautifully designed outdoor sky lawn overlooks the historic Shanghai Exhibition Centre.
And along with the opening comes the theme of the season – #SIMPLEPLEASURE – a way to encourage guests to pause and appreciate the small things in life.
What does #SIMPLEPLEASURE mean?
Simple pleasures can be defined as the experiences that are positive, brief, and usually emerge in everyday settings.
They are usually accessible to people at little to no cost – some may even refer it as the low-hanging fruit in life; things we can take pleasure in and enjoy without much effort, time, or money.
Simply put, it is anything that brings you joy on a day-to-day basis.
The Top 50 #SIMPLEPLEASURE Guide
To make the whole #SIMPLEPLEASURE experience complete, the team at The Portman Ritz-Carlton, Shanghai has appointed F&B Manager – Evelyn Mu – as a 'Lifestyle Curator.'
Evelyn has put together this Top 50 Simple Pleasure Guide to help get you in the mood for summer!
