Arrow Niepce Paris Hotel, Curio Collection by Hilton {FRA} (France)

For nine months I've had a reservation at the Paris Niepce Curio for a week in the latter part of May using HH points. Today I've received a letter from the "Relocation Team" based in Texas saying the hotel would not open as expected (I thought it opened many months ago?) and they had moved me to the nearest available hotel, the Hilton at Paris CDG airport. They have refunded the surplus points to my account.

This is unacceptable to me - I am not having a week in Paris and commuting daily from CDG. There is availability at the other Hilton Family properties in Paris for my dates but no standard reward availability. Premium reward rooms are available at most hotels including Paris Opera Hilton. Rooms,( but no standard rewards just premium), are also available at the other Curio in Paris, the Maison Astor Paris.

Before I revert to the Relocation Team (or the Diamond Desk?) I'd appreciate any advice as to my options. Of course, hotel costs have escalated since I booked and I could be considerably out of pocket. My feeling is that they should be the ones bearing the cost of this, not me.
