Taj is an interesting group. As you noted, they seem to lack the consistency across it's chain. Plus, it doesn't quite have the global brand name of the FS, RC, or MO. I'm not sure how Campton Place and the Taj Boston (which they bought just a few years back) are.
Agree that Park Hyatt fit into the same category - sometimes bad, sometimes inspired.
Taj took over Campton Place and Boston but have yet to do makeovers. If you look at the Pierre you can see what to expect, though, but sometimes it takes them awhile - not surprising when you see how much they spend.
