The area around the Westin Paris is super nice - Rue du Faubourg St Honoree and Place Vendome are the epitome of Parisian chic - so you and your daughter will have a lot of enjoyable things to do, merely by strolling those fabled streets.

I would take the $700 that you will not spend on the upgrade and book a table at Jules Verne, the Michelin one-star restaurant on top of the Eiffel Tower for a nice dinner. Now, THAT would be a memorable evening and a good use of your $700 - you will need every penny of it since the bill will be a shocker when you receive it

Start with a nice bottle of Champagne, then their ecrevisses and oysters, and go from there...
