Good choice. I stayed at the HRT last time and we walked over to PHT. I was so sad that I didn't spend the extra points. It's just an experience even just going up to New York Bar. Timeless class. Andaz is like any nice modern hotel with superb Japanese service, but PHT is something unique. We have a hopeful trip planned for late February which includes 3 nights and the start and 2 nights at the end at PHT.
And while HRT and PHT definitely don't have the best location, it's really just a 15 minute walk or 5 minute taxi/shuttle to the station, and 20 minutes to piss alley, so not bad for some very central features. There's also a great couple bars to check out for a nightcap on the way back: Ben Fiddich and Spirits Bar Sunface are both in the same building a floor or two away from one another. They're small and get busy, but we had a great time there.
