P.S. I'm sure there are better hotels out there than SGS - I just haven't stayed in them.
Herein is one of the challenges with FT hype about new properties. You are considering a great four star over your favorite 5 star luxury hotel. If you really like the SGS then that is where you should be. By all means try the FP, but don't compare the experience to the one you know at the SGS. it won't be the same and isn't meant to be the same.
