Thanks
You are better at the Grand Hyatt if you are on holiday. I stayed at both the GH and Westin in March on vacation, three nights at Hyatt and 2 at the Westin. There is nothing wrong with the Westin at all, except that the GH is brand new, architecturally amazing and is built in the middle of a huge shopping / restaurant complex. The PH is a business hotel in a business area. Both the PH and Westin are a 10 minute walk from a metro station.

If you do an advanced search under my handle and the keyword Tokyo in this thread and the Hyatt one, you should find my observations.
