Two of us stayed five nights at the Renaissance AdT in June, 2012 on points. No room upgrade was given for my Platinum level status, but the hotel was very heavily booked. The room was small and facing the backside and had a very small balcony. A full and very good breakfast buffet was provided for Platinum members. The Ternes Metro station is about two blocks away with good north/south connections. There is an outdoor market and several businesses around the area of the station. The Charles de Gaulle Etoile station is about five blocks away underneath the Arc and has service to several metro lines. The street between the station and hotel is lined with restaurants, bars, and shops. We found the area very convenient and somewhat away from the tourist attractions and crowds. The staff was very friendly and helpful and we had a very enjoyable stay.
