The hard product is stunning and the soft product was top notch for everyone. However, the Ritz Tokyo has an incredible location for Tokyo imo.
I always got free breakfast on award stays at the RC Kyoto. And some very nice suite upgrades.
The view from RC Tokyo is pretty unbeatable. But overall RC Kyoto is indeed a much nicer hotel.
