I find portman old. It is also a nightmare to get a taxi. Absolute nightmare. I try never to go to Portman for meetings because of zoo atmosphere (they also barely have parking because it was built before people had cars) so one had to park at Plats 66 and will over. Very inconvenient.
JW is convenient and great lounge. Rooms a little amall but overall a fabulous property. I might even prefer their lounge breakfast to main breakfast
Sure it's old, and doesn't have views of the Bund, but it's in Jing'an, which is much nicer than People's Square.
