Base rooms at HdL are 215 sq ft- tiny for me. One category upgrade to view rooms are the same size. King Deluxe is 270 sq ft. Same if king deluxe view or corner. Family suite (without view) is 320 sq ft. Junior suite (with or without view) is 375 sq ft.
Not until you get to a Family suite with view or Executive Suite (430 sq ft) do you get a large room.
Base room at PHV is 323 sq ft, base suite using tsu at least 484 sq ft.
Given I stay for 5-7 days in high season (making upgrades tough), the lack of tsu participation means I’m choosing potentially (likely?) 215 sq ft (or 270 sq ft with luck) vs 484 sq ft for 10k points/night.
If booking cash, you could probably get executive suite at HdL for less than base room at PHV ( about 400 euros less in the random night next November that I checked).
I also don’t one suites in the top floor with slanted roofs (servants quarters back in the day). Both hotels have them.
Note: all sq ft estimates from Hyatt.com
You can also get that information quickly on ChatGPT. I'm not discounting the value your information brings to the group. Just illustrating for many people who don't have the knowledge, experience or time to do the research, ChatGPT can be very useful for travel planning.
If room size is your primary concern and you're deciding between the Park Hyatt Paris-Vendôme and Hôtel du Louvre, here's a comparison:
Room Sizes- Park Hyatt Paris-Vendôme: Standard rooms are approximately 30-40 square meters (323-431 square feet), which is quite spacious for a standard room in Paris.
- Hôtel du Louvre: Standard King rooms are approximately 20-25 square meters (215-270 square feet), which is smaller and more typical of Parisian hotels.
RecommendationThe Park Hyatt Paris-Vendôme would be the better choice if room size is important to you, as their standard rooms are significantly larger and offer a luxurious, spacious environment. Additionally, the Vendôme is known for its modern luxury aesthetic, which complements its generous room sizes.
