I didn't realize the FS Mumbai was viewed poorly.
Interesting that Park Hyatt is pushing into India and the RC is opening a property in Bangalore.
On another note, I see they have the FS Hotel Hangzhou at West Lake posted:

...a few of our projects have been frozen [eight according to Vedomosti’s calculations]...
...several of our hotels that were not seriously affected...Paris, Milan, Boston, Washington…
...For the first time in our history we have been forced to cut our expenses and lower prices...For examples, one of our big clients is Goldman Sachs. I offered them a special packet: if one of their employees stays with us for three days, the third night could be free. We have made it possible for our rooms to be booked through web sites such as expedia.com, which we didn’t do before.
...[St. Petersburg is] back on track...when the hotels in St. Petersburg and Moscow open, they will have a big impact on the city because their locations are 100 percent right...
...St. Petersburg...is scheduled for the second quarter, 2011...

To be fair, it was Shangri-La who originally posted the link to the article. Kage posted highlights of it for us so we didn't necessarily have to click on the link. Either way, thank you to both!!
