I have a feeling this is also a difference between generations - quite a few people here call LC properties “not luxury” and go crazy over RC or STR.
I'd rather pick LC/W/JW over them..
I hear the same things about the LC that I hear about the Conrad. I'd usually pick either over the RC/StR. I had a terrible stay at the StR Osaka, which I had been looking forward to. It was a real shame, but thankfully followed by a fantastic stay at the Conrad in Tokyo. To date, the latter is one of my favorite hotels of all-time, and I happily choose it whenever I'm in Tokyo.
I decided to dip my toes back into the StR waters in Bangkok, and after an unpromising check-in experience (full of the behavior described earlier in this thread), the rest of the stay was wonderful. With the StR in particular the quality of the Butler staff makes a big difference.
