Unhappy A night in Paris

I tried to find where this belong so if it has to be moved so be it. Here's my situation and it's giving me a headache so I'm looking for some educated advice. I'm a HH diamond hyatt PLAT .Wife is hyatt platinum. We are arriving in Paris on a 7am flight into CDG . I have never been to Paris either has wife we also are traveling with two small girls aged 4 and 2. Our connecting flight departs the next day 4pm so we have a little over 24hours to spend in Paris.

Now the hotel options are crazy. I went with the hyatt CDG first because it's 125euro and I can use a diamond suite upgrade I have left over . Reasoning because it's close to the airport we will get access to the lounge and hyatt always delievers for us. The I stated to look into the ICH using the points/cash option for $240US that's a nice property but no access to the lounge add 90euro now it's getting too pricey so I had a look at the Hilton ADT. Ideal location i can use some points 50k for 300euro a night room so sightly less than 1cent per point which I read is good/medium. Or I can go the best the PH for 22k which I have a total of 30k in my account and was going to save it for the PH Milan two week later.

So I have a lot of options but which is best. I was thinking I wanted to stay close to the airport I didn't want to miss our connecting flight and be lost in paris yet I want to see the sights I have my doubts about ever returning to pairs also the expense travelling to paris from CDG needs to be taken into account as well. If its 20euro pp it would be cheaper to stay closer to the city.

So which property and why would you take,

Thanks
Shane.
