I'd be extremely wary of pushing IC-PLG pre-arrival to guarantee +2cat on RA upgrade to Royal, as then IC-PLG may forced to react by simply adding these great rooms to the t+c exclusion list nder each hotels name, which is not in our interest
I don't ever remember seeing this general exclusion of Presidential Suites that you speak of.
And I already asked the hotel about pre-upgrading my reservation. Given the rate I booked, and the RA status to boot, I don't think it's a lot to ask. What happens because of it is not my problem. If they say no, that it can't be guaranteed until check-in, I will monitor availability online. If I see those room types disappear I will cancel my €850 per night reservation and book the cheapest available and hope for a good upgrade. I could book a €350 per night reservation and get upgraded to the same €850 room I would get stuck paying for if there aren't better suites available. Doesn't sound like a gamble I'm willing to take, hence the email to the property.
