Peninsula is great, but traditional. Langham and Trump are also great. Park Hyatt, even with Hyatt Diamond, I think is just OK. Waldorf Astoria remains my absolute favorite city hotel for the aesthetics (my priority.) I also think it's the best value if you are looking for a suite and high chance of upgrade to a suite since most of their rooms are suites if this is important to you.
