As I said often before prices went up over the last months. I'm still glad I did my booking in January and saved my incredible "bargain rate" of 2200 € for the Four Seasons suite. Also Ritz at 2100 € (or even 1900??? - not sure) for an Executive Suite (after guaranteed upgrade) would have been good value for a stop on my outward journey, but I didn't book. If you now try to book a suite at one of the top-palaces for 2000 € in July or August whoever you ask can't stop laughing. I don't say prices are appropriate, but it is what you have to pay now. Harper had a voucher for 2 nights at the top-suite of Cour des Vosges for 1500 $, the person who bought it made a real bargain.
