I've stayed at PHV a number of times and in my mind, the alternative wouldn't be MO. I like the Crillon, PdG, Lutecia on the Left Bank, PA, maybe FS, Raffles, etc.
Unless I'm getting status benefits or there's some other specific reason, I don't like the idea of staying in an "Asian" chain in Europe. [I know Raffles would seem to violate this principle, but until they were merged into Accor, I had their top unpublished status.]
