As Diamond, I was upgraded to the Executive Floor. The staff was very helpful. the lobby has a display of several aircraft models, including a superb AIr France Constellation on a 50s Globe base. They went out of their way to arrange Fedex shipping to the US.
It's true that the area around the airport isn't particulalry interesting, but the hotel is a block away from the RERl and even after RER hours, there is a night bus that shuttles between rue de Rivoli and the hotel.

I stayed there one night last September and had a great stay. I had a nice upgrade to a large executive room with a huge bathroom and great walk-in shower. The lounge was very nice and had a good selection for breakfast. I'd definitely stay there again, especially for a last night in the Paris area before flying home from CDG the next morning.

What's up with Hilton Charles de Gaulle, starting Feb. 09?
I've been looking into room availability for the Hilton Charles de Gaulle Airport. Until the end of January 2009, a variety of rooms and prices are available; starting February 2009 (and continuing for at least the next few months ), only Junior Suites at 450+ euro show. Of course, no award availability either. I called the Diamond Desk, and all they say is that regular rooms are not available for one or two particular dates in February that I provided them with. Does anyone have any inside scoop on this? In light of the Paris Hilton sale there may be other changes for Hilton France.

It would be a pity if that hotel were to leave the Hilton group as it is one of my favorite airport hotels, i just love the exec lounge where you can have breakfast while surfing FT and watching aircraft taxi by (and Concorde of course).
When AF botches up my connection I always ask for the Hilton instead of the Pullman or whatever.

I was wondering if anyone could share some recent experiences at this property, i.e. the current condition of the Executive Lounge (service/offerings) and any recent experiences with room upgrades for Diamond? Do they still offer a choice of restaurant breakfast?

Returning from a family reunion in Dublin, planning on overnighting at CDG for early flight to US. All reviews on the place look good (as well as the rate -- I think it's still E103 advanced purchase), but I'm wondering if the 'new rules' for Diamonds will affect ug/lounge access/etc.

Aug was after the new system was in place, as a Plat (BTW it was on pts) I was told at check-in welcome Mr Craz i see you are a Diamond so let me Upgrade you, then he saw I had chosen the 1000pts so no Upgrade,I really didnt need it. He did make a pt to let me know my key was coded so that I could access the Lounge^^. seems this Hotel offers access no matter what they said to Diamonds (dont know if they will to Golds as well)
cant tell ya if they are still doing so, but I can tell you I got my 1000pts , No Upgrade and did have Lounge Access
having been upgraded back in May the room I had in Aug was slightly smaller then the Upgraded room in May. if I wa sto go back tonight I still would take the 1000 pts as long as I can get Lounge access anyway

CDG Hilton Off Site Dining Options
What are the off-site dining options for the CDG Hilton? Anything within walking distance? We usually stay at the Marriott and there are a few small decent restaurants in the area, but looking at the map, I don't see much for the Hilton.
Alternatively, any recommendations on the on-site dining? Looking for something casual and non-pretentious. The trip is for my parents who are connecting at CDG, so going to town is not an option.
