Yes, Shangri-la is BY FAR better looking at street level from the Ritz.. not to mention, the Ritz's entrance is AWAY from the street (even the tower is too), i find that pretty weak. They make too huge of a deal with the podium sticking out of the tower like a boot, I much prefer towers that rise atop their podiums ala Shangri-la.

On a positive note, interesting geometry:
