Agree completely that FSGV is not the be-all, end-all, and that service is not always prefect.
I am very excited about trying the Peninsula, but am a bit worried about its size. I have heard that it has a lot of public event space, which might make it less intimate of a property.
For Hyatt Diamonds, I think PH Vendome is the best value proposition it town.
