Considering the hard product, it really depends on properties :
InterContinental and Ritz Carlton in Osaka or Washington DC are playing in the same league, for example.
Ritz Carlton Vienna is above InterContinental Vienna.
Ritz Carlton Hotel Arts is below InterContinental Barcelona.
But I was never very impressed by service by a Ritz Carlton, which is rarely at the level of Four Seasons or Regent.
