For the other properties, the HI Notre Dame is the better choice. They have plenty of good room upgrades for a Platinum. Grand Boulevards rooms are very tiny. They are located in very different parts of Paris though, so maybe choose on location.
IC Paris rates have gone up from this January. Both in terms of $ rates because they have a lot fewer rooms now (refurbishment) Also its a 70k point redemption while I think the Indigo is still 50k. The GM showed me one of the new rooms. They are much nicer but still use the same furniture etc
The indigo is a better bet for a non RA. As i mentioned the rooms are modern and nice, The classic room in the Ic is crap
