The Ritz's renovation was centered on the lobby, restaurant, and bar areas. My understanding is that only a few rooms were touched. However, any room on the premier floor, or anything that's an executive suite or higher, is going to be just fine. Peninsula standard rooms are larger, but the Ritz has huge variation in its suites and executive suites and they've always been exceptionally liberal with me regarding upgrades (and other guests as well, as noted on this forum).

Park Hyatt's new renovation is stunning, but the service remains a notch below five-star.
