Melbourne was in the top spot for me but I may re-think that if the lounge is actually permanently closed. I think I would say Milan, although I get most excited to visit Tokyo.

OTOH - and I know others will disagree - I've had really great experiences at the PH NY. The physical facilities are amazing, the pool/spa area divine, and the breakfast (never had a limit imposed) absolutely delicious. Wonderful upgrades there, as well. Yes, the service isn't that great, but I'd take the PHNY over Vienna any day....

Have only stayed at PH - Chicago, Aviara and Beaver Creek, none of which were very awe inspiring.
I’d consider a follow up stay at Beaver Creek solely due to off season pricing (some nights as low as $150), but it wasn’t anything very special.
Would love to stay at PH NYC and Sydney though.

Interesting. I thought Vienna was very overrated. Yes, a cool building for sure in a great location, but the experience was rather meh... that and the pool was cold, and parts of the spa were in disrepair. We did get a very nice suite for our our upgrade, but also had hot water issues, housekeeping issues, and found the bed hard as a rock. I also thought the breakfast was average.

It is interesting that no one has PH Paris Vendome on their top or wish list. It used to be very desirable when Chase had two free nights at any Hyatt hotels, and it was the best point value to redeem at PH Paris. Also, when the hotel had Blaise Mautin amenities it was much more attractive. I never understood the hype in reviews though, stayed there a few times because of the location and because of the redemption "value". But doesn`t worth paying either 30K or cash price.

Tokyo has a special place in my heart. Had many great meals, drinks and stays there. Also, like Zurich very much.

PH Seoul is just very Gangnam cold. It was a better hotel under Thomas Harlander than the current management. Busan's staff are quite warm and has the best views of any Korean Hyatt. Worth the upcharge for the Executive Marina suite.

Busan? Really? A nice enough hotel, but nothing stood out as special to me.
Siem Reap and Zanzibar are the ones I'd return to. Great hotels, amazing suites and staff.
I also stayed in Buenos Aires at the same time as Mick Jagger. If it's good enough for Mick then who am I to argue...
Tokyo is great, but perhaps hasn't been updated as it should because some people go there because of the movie and want it to look the same.
Milan is also very good. Lovely breakfast IIRC.
