We plan to be there end of March. Some convention in town, so no cash + points. 20k for 4 days with 5th free not available as no standard rooms.
The price increased by 1500 points for an executive room = 86k for 4 nights with 5th free.
List price 450 E for each night, so comes to about 560$ value = almost price of 20k points bought from spg at 2.8c each.
So what is really an executive room? Is there a lounge floor at all?
Are there any benefits for Gold in this place?
I am half tempted to go to Nice and stay there for a week and just take cabs here. Of course this is Monaco, a cab is probably a few 100$ each day.

Having just stayed at the empty Palazzo in Vegas, it takes some getting used to, to go to Eu and stay at full price upscale hotels.
