SYD: Park Hyatt, Sheraton on the Park, or Westin?

Arriving in SYD after a long flight from the US, spending 2 days in town before hopping a flight to Cairns.

We are looking for a place to base for Sydney sightseeing. I know the Park Hyatt is generally held in very high esteem, but at 30K/night, I am trying to figure out if it's worth it. Cash price is astronomical and not an option. Have Platinum status with Hyatt through the credit card.

By contrast, the Sheraton on the Park is only 12K Starpoints/night (or $350ish), and the Westin is only 16K Starpoints/night (or $300ish). Currently Gold with SPG but will be Platinum by the time of the trip.

For reference, the Four Seasons and the Langham are both about $275/night, but no status with either of them.

So, is the PH worth the premium? Or am I better off saving the points for 3 nights at the PH Melbourne later in the trip?
