IMHO, I would start with PH Tokyo.
Family & I love visiting both Tokyo & Kyoto.
If you have no need leaving the hotel, PH Tokyo is an outstanding choice. High rise views from your room, great F&B, wonderful Pool & Gym with a view, Spa is amazing. I understand the comments of rooms being outdated, but the service from staff has always made up for that. Always keeping us happy.
We stayed at PH Kyoto at the beginning of the pandemic, with many restrictions in place, making the F&B experience nice, but subpar. Our view from the room, towards the Pagoda, was wonderful and the staff was exceptional, even being more personal in their style to our liking. If a spa is a part of your expectations, PH Kyoto will disappoint. My Family still ranks this as one the best stays ever.
PH Paris is also on my bucket list.
I hope you get a chance to experience all three properties!

As an aside, I really want to check out Niseko both to ski Japow and check out the PH there (the architecture looks amazing). Can't quite convince my wife to fly to the opposite side of the world to ski just yet.

Just completed my first PH stay since 2019 yesterday at at the PH in Washington DC in a Georgetown Suite. I was quickly reminded how much I like the brand. Such a timeless, comfortable residential style.
I fear the day this hotel gets a major renovation.

I've stayed at the PHs in Tokyo, Sydney, Saigon, NYC, Shanghai and Paris. My favorites have been Tokyo and Saigon for the service and breakfasts, Shanghai for the view and Sydney for the Opera House view and location. I liked the breakfasts in Paris a lot, but beyond that consider both it and NYC to be somewhat over-rated properties that benefit from their hype rather than substance.

I think that's true of hotels in general. You had Holiday Inns and Fairfield Inns in other parts of the world that would outshine 99% of the Hyatt Regencies in the US.
And with the pandemic I feel staff quality in the rest of the world hasn't degraded as much as it has in the US (though admittedly I haven't travelled literally the rest of the world).

I've stayed at the PH Sydney, Melbourne, Istanbul, Jeddah, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Paris, Tokyo, Maldives, NYC, DC, Milan, Saigon, Bangkok and the Hyatt Hotel Canberra. PH is one of my favourite brands alongside St Regis and FS.
Of these I would say my favourites are:
1) PH SYD - The Rooftop Suite and Sydney Harbour are spectacular
2) PH Maldives - It gives the essence and soul of the Maldives without being over the top. Also for the house reef which beds the Red Sea and GBR.
3) PH SGN - Absolutely stunning and spectacular service.
4) PH AUH - The Prince Villa with private pool is the epitome of personal luxury.
5) PH IST - The Diplomatic Suite Istanbul was special.
6) PH NYC - We received two West Side Suites during UN GA and felt ultra modern.
I was underwhelmed by Tokyo and CBR remains poorly maintained. PH BKK is all style abs no substance, checked out after one night and will never return.

PH Shanghai & Sydney.
Paris would have been there but my recent experience was less than stellar. And, y'all know the saying, you can do 99 good things for someone but if you mess up #100, that's what they'll remember--you're only as good as your last at bat.

I'm surprised to see so many people mention the PH Shanghai. In my opinion, the PH Beijing has views that are just as good, but it is in a better location, has far superior suites, and a better pool (for swimming). I've also found elite and repeat guest recognition to be better.
Have the PH Shanghai fans not stayed at the PH Beijing or what's the reason for the frequent mentions?
