CDG Hilton: gold treatment/ twin room?
I am confused by the description of the room at the CDG Hilton. Here is what it says:
TWIN HILTON GUESTROOM
LARGE ROOM. TEA COFFEE FACILITIES. MODEM LINE
LARGE DESK. SEPERATE BATH AND SHOWER.
So is that two Twin beds? I need a room with two beds and i did select two beds when I searched.
Have any Golds stayed here? I am looking at the cheap 99 euro rate. Will I get a room upgrade or at least lounge access?
Thanks!

Can't help with the upgrade question but a twin room means two twin beds. In Europe a single is usually one single (twin bed), a twin is two twin beds. Hope this helps.

Anyone else have comments on gold? Lounge access and breakfast maybe? Thanks.

Showers?
Anyone know if they rent shower facilities or have hourly rates for rooms? I have a 12-hour layover after my arrival tomorrow morning and would like to freshen up.

The phone is right by the shuttle stop and it is free.

Old thread, but something for future searchers...
Stayed the at the CDG Hilton last weekend and found it to be a top-flight property in every respect -- just as it was five years ago. I posted a review at:
http://www.igougo.com/planning/journ...p?EntryID=2065
There are some pics that include the pool, club room, restaurant and guest room.
If you have a reason to stay near the airport, the Hilton CDG is an outstanding choice. The RER station is a quick walk across the parking lot from the hotel (CDG1 stop). Hilton Gold status produced an upgrade to a very nice executive room, robes, slippers, access to a decent club lounge that overlooks the atrium and a complimentary bottle of the "wine of the month" with dinner if you chose to have it there. (There was a very nice buffet at 35 Euros or there is a full menu). But wait, there's more! There was a weekend rate of 94 Euros/night that included an excellent breakfast buffet. To top it off, there was a 2,000 HH point bonus for taking the package.

Thanks for the info! I had booked the Hilton but ended up at the Sofitel (long story) so it is good to know the hotel is worthwhile next time I need to stay near the airport.

I booked the Hilton CDG on the 99 Euro pre-paid rate for a stay in late June. At time of booking I requested upgrade as HHonors Gold and the next time I checked my reservation on-line the room was upgraded to an Exec. room!! Very nice!!
It sounds like a great hotel and I am looking forward to my stay.

Breakfast was very un-impressive, boiled bacon, scrambled eggs that were really boiled eggs run through a food processor, muslix cereal mix (which I don't care for). Great breads, fruits and pastries though.
hors d'oeuvres & dessert in the early evening was an excellent start before heading into Paris for the night where we would do dinner around 9 or 10 PM.
Look for the under counter coolers, plenty of drinks (sodas and water) to stock up on.
