Hilton FCO
Award stay
Standard Room
Upgraded to Exec Floor at check in. Just being told so. No request made.
Full lounger access. However it is one of the worst lounges in any chain we have seen in terms of food/drink offerings.
Brekkie at restaurant as lounge closed on Monday morning - a lucky thing because based on previous evening's experience, the foods at lounge would not be any good. Very spacious restaurant. Good but not excellent, breakfast items.

Hilton Lyon
Award stay
Premium Room (on sale and less point cost than Standard Room)
Were told that Upgrade room at Exec floor was not ready at check in. No request made.
We took the non-upgrade room (low floor) but gained lounge access.
Brekkie can be at lounge or restaurant which is wonderful, though the space is somewhat tight.

Hilton CDG
Award stay
Hotel email reminder offered e-upgrade options. Executive room no cost.
Upgrade to runway view at check in. No request made.
Brekkie can be at lounge or restaurant which is very good.

Hilton CDG just moved its lounge from 8th floor to the ground floor. It still has the "newness" smell. They were still putting the final touch on the paint job at the front of the lounge when we were there on 4/17. Lounge is of good size but no window.

Upcoming stay

Conrad Hong Kong
AXON award
Hotel email offered e-upgrade to mountain view room at no cost.
