I really like the St. Regis chain and I hadnīt have a stay at a Ritz Carlton before, so I wanted to split between them. The location of them in Chengdu seemed the same to me and the St. Regis Shenzhen looked more iconic, so based on pictures and reviews, thatīs how I choose them.
After my stays, I thought the Ritz was excellent, due to the breakfast and an upgrade to a suite and the St. Regis was good but unmemorable.

Thanks, itīs almost as iconic as the old city.
