Thanks Goldorak,
To be fair (it's my day defending Accor...
), Sofitel Strasbourg is generally much cheaper than Lyon one. But others hotel are generally in the same range (mercure, novotel...). And Junior suite are generally reasonably priced in Strasbourg (typically same as classic room in Lyon).
So I think we need to consider JS as "superior room", they are 30 sqm wich seems standard for a five star, and they are equiped with nespresso machine
)
That's said, should they rebrand their "classic room" (17 sqm) as "mini room", "rikiki room" or other, probably
...
Why don't they want to reduce room number, I think we all have the answer: because hotel was full... Strasbourg needs more rooms in the upscale market, but we have to wait until the future Radisson (former Mariott project) at the former Police Station.
Same for the Hilton, wich is probably the cheapest one in Europe.
OT: I remember very well a few years ago the NATO summit meeting: Mr Obama had the Hilton "for himself".
Mr Sarkozy took the Sofitel "for himself".
... and the 26 others? ???
