As a Diamond, I've only had experience at the Madeleine. I was on a cheap weekend rate, but was upgraded to the top floor facing the Rue Madeleine with lovely french doors opening out to 2 very small balconies. The room itself was not large, and I couldn't imagine having another bed in it. It was furnished nicely and the bath was beautiful with a deep soaking tub and large separate shower. My rate included a bottle of champagne (which arrived not iced, but as just wrapped in a napkin), and a box of sugar candies from one of the elegant shoppes nearby--I believe the latter was my amenity. I would stay there again, although I'd like to try out the new Vendome property if prices drop somewhat. Others on FT have rave reviews of this property, so you may want to do a search.
PS- what kind of severe rate? My 'cheap' rate was upwards of 330 euros, both Paris Hyatts are pretty expensive.
