I completed another stay in November in this Sofitel. Another very good stay. The hotel looked very busy, full of French people
I used SNUs for this stay to book a Junior Suite but was upgraded (again) to Opéra suite. The room I got was exactly the same as in the previous review I did in this thread (feb 2020, just before the beginning of the pandemic), so I won't post again pictures of the room. So they still treat Diamond members very well in this lovely Sofitel.





Great to enjoy this nice pool coming from Paris starting to be rainy & cold in November






Regarding the Club Millésime, it is still at the same place but the place is not anymore exclusively the lounge during Covid times (due to lower number of eligible guests). It is also an apero bar & restaurant. Happy hour for lounge is 6 to 8 pm and you have access to a limited selection of canapés (see picture below). They could do better on this for a Sofitel IMO. But service was very attentive at the "lounge". For breakfast, you can take it at the lounge but they open only from 9 am, and before you have to go to the main restaurant where an impressive buffet is served. The 2 first pictures below are the main restaurant, the next ones is the place used for the lounge.







I got a late checkout at 6 pm and was allowed to benefit from the lounge & happy hour afterwards.
In conclusion, another very good stay.
