I wasn't aware that the Sukhothai could be booked by SLH, so thanks for that intel. It's difficult for me to get excited about that location (one of my favorite lunch spots is really close to it, so I try to go once a week when I'm in town, and then leave immediately after). But, at least it's west of the Huangpu and south of Suzhou Creek. I have to say the Andaz is the better location of the 2, not because of XTD, but because it's easy to get around town from there (again, Line 14 has been a godsend for that area as well as Yuyuan). And, it still has Line 1, which covers the Former French Concession from west to east and People's Square plus points north.
