Departments are not communication between each other. The only saving grace might be the Concierge. Imagine - all their restaurants except the Michelin (Pur) are sharing the same, limited menu. I wonder how they can get away with this.
Yes you can book PH Vendome with points. Even though they are playing games with inventory, you can still manage to book it. But it might be part of the problem.
Definitely "luxury is personal" went out the window ages ago at this PH and many others in my experience. Tokyo stopped their complimentary fresh coffee via room service for Explorists and above.
It's heinous that a Palace hotel does premixed drinks and fee choices for dining.
Funny how my main complaint with Vendome before the cuts/changes was the concierge.
