Portable Aircons as a Rule suck!! Had 2 and replaced with Split Units of lower BTU ratings and work a million times better.

Yeah i agree, i have 2 portable aircons that cost a ton and literary make the rooms hotter. U need to get a sortoff sealed outlet valve anyway to the outside. Strongly recommend u get a proper one installed, bout the same price i think. And get a decent brand, e.g. LG or something like that. You get what u pay for....

Problem is that this room is not connected "to the outside"

It is ensconced between other rooms.

Then you wont really be able to use a portable either.
Portables have an "exhaust pipe" that needs to be put out a window to blow out the hot air and condensation.

Then a portable would not work. The exhaust has to go outside else the room will get hotter.

Also agree with Knaterkraker. We had a portable unit at our old office and had a hole cut in the window for the exhaust pipe. Once day I disconnected the pipe to see if it matters and the unit ended up being useless.

So I think ceiling/pedestal fans are going to be your solution.

I already have a ceiling fan , but stilll need more cooling

I was under the impression that there are "stand-alone" ACs ... no need for pipes or access to the outside of the building
