The award-winning hotel has accommodated numerous presidents and head of states, including President Obama, US Secretary of States - Hillary Clinton, President Lee Myung Bak…During Obama’s Shanghai visit, the security was understandably tight as it was his first time state visit in China and the trip has attracted lots of media reporting in China and all over the world. Since Obama’s security contingent and staff comprised a huge number, a lot of rooms in the hotel were booked. The National Security Bureau also requested an extremely tight X-Ray security check for all the people who work in the hotel and all other hotel guests.
The 500 square meters Ritz-Carlton Suite, where the president stayed, is the largest presidential suite in the city, making it the accommodation of choice to host royalty, heads of state, celebrities, heads of multi-national corporations and their accompanying entourage.
