Option 1: 3 Nights Conrad & 1 Night PHT
1 night @ 38,000 HHonors + 19,782 JPY
2 nights using HHonors certs
1 night at PHT using Hyatt cert
Option 2: 4 Nights PHT
2 nights @ 32010 JPY/nt + DSU (got a great rate with a BRG)
1 night using Hyatt cert
1 night using 24,000 Gold Passport Points (After accounting for 20% Chase Visa rebate

)
My HHonors certificates expire at the end of August and I do not have plans for any further international travel besides this trip. Is it worth foregoing the excellent opportunity to use my HHonors certs for 4 nights at the PHT?
I'd go for the PHT. The suite is killer, and the PHT base room you'll get as a Diamond (usually Park Deluxe at minimum, and possible even Park View if they are light occupancy) will beat the Conrad room you get as a Gold (city view, not the money bay/Rainbow Bridge view).
