I am not sure if the opening of the RC and Pen Tokyo will shake things up too too much -- the bar is already high in Tokyo with service levels to match. It will be interesting though.....
For me, I am anxiously awaiting for a couple properties to open:
1. Four Seasons Florence -- from what I hear this will be one spectacular
property which might even overshadow its Milano
sister
2. Shangri-La Vancouver -- the arrival of the Shang, currently being built, will
likely shake things up in Vancouver. The FS is
supposed to renovate fairly soon (according to
Company insiders) which should spur some other
reno projects at the other top hotels.
