If I may ask, how much was the paid upgrade per night?

I have a points stay with TSU coming up shortly :-)

Initial offer was 250 euros, I countered with 190 euros which was the difference in standard rates for what I was confirmed into and what I wanted, and they accepted.

I have an upcoming stay with a TSU as well, I opted for the paid upgrade option to an Executive suite(190 Euro per night)

Yup. Completely 100% organically sourced kombucha with a side of subaru.

Thinking of staying here May 18-22. Booked using a free night cert & 90k points. Debating whether to use TSU and an upgrade fee per night (Park Suite isn't available for straight TSU, so I'm looking at burning a TSU plus paying 90 euro minimum/night, or 190 euro/night for an exec suite), or to play the globalist upgrade lottery and see if anything is comped. Leaning towards the latter...

Over the years I have opted for paying the "vig" and getting what I wanted, generally speaking when doing so I have been pleasantly surprised that I am upgraded from that as well. Only once did I not and that was during Victoria Secrets week.

Maybe it's getting older but I opt for the best way to ensure not having to wonder all the way across the pond

I'm paying the "vig" in two weeks because we need a room that accommodates 4. I'll report back on whether or not I'm upgraded from that.

If the occupancy is mild you should be fine, enjoy !

Any recent stays? Some negative recent comments on TA about construction . . . .

Just read the TA reviews and did a dummy booking and there's nothing on the website indicating construction.

I've had this happen at several Hyatt hotels, including on repeat stays. It's completely unacceptable for it not to be listed on the hotel website or during the reservation process.

*wood always had it in both and also in Announcements on the hotel page.

There are also a bunch of fake 5* reviews. Kind of shameful for a property at this level to be engaging in fakery.

You know this property has been in steady decline for many years now even with management change frankly its still going down to the point I am booking else where sad this was a favorite that we stayed at once or twice a year, and always once during the Holiday Seasons.

I've been staying there 10-15 times a year for the last 3 years and never had a problem with renovation (have to say it was always during the week and leaving the room no later than 8amish). Only consequence for me is less room availabilities (keeping in mind Hotel du Louvre is still closed). Only issue last year was the housekeeping strike and demonstrations in front of the hotel but it's now over..
