Thanks so much for the help!
Going to hit the Arrival's Lounge, meet my friend and then take the Roissy Bus to the Hyatt Vendome which is apparently close to where the bus lets off...

If your friend's flight arrives late or it takes time to get through immigration/customs/baggage claim, then have a plan for when the lounge closes (which is 2 p.m. IIRC but used to be earlier).

I've booked my parents at the PH for their anniversary. Currently, they're booked into a suite (w/ my points). Does the hotel do anything special for wedding anniversaries, or would anybody have an email address of somebody I can contact to advise them of the occasion?

I had many wonderful stays here on FFN and points since 2003 or 2004 while I was Hyatt Diamond and had always been given the full diamond amenities of breakfast, internet, welcome amenity, etc.
Now that I am only a lowly plat reserving on points, what are my chances of getting breakfast and/or internet? Seen mixed feedback about other plats.
I had originally reserved the passport escape for 5 nights but need to drop the number of nights to 3 due to work and my friend might not make it... Might have to pay for dinner at PUR myself.

Also, does anyone know if the Diplomat Suite is one king and a bedroom with two twin beds or another king or queen bed?

The Diplmoatic Suite has one bedroom that is a king-bedded bedroom and one bedroom that has two twin beds. This is not a standard suite at this property.
An actual suite or a "junior suite" that is more or less an oversized guest room with a sofa in it? Expectations need to be set properly. The "Park Suites" are not suites with a bedroom separated by a wall from living room -- they are just oversized rooms with a sofa in it where the bed is entirely visible from the sofa.

Just booked our first award stay at PH Vendome for next June. Four of us (Mom & Dad, 2 kids) in 2 rooms for 4 nights. Only standard room were Queens but hoping for adjoining Queen/Twin upon check-in. Is it worth emailing the hotel about this now or should I sti tight and email closer to our arrival? Oh, and REALLY hoping this lowly Plat gets breakfast, it would make our first family Paris stay that much more enjoyable. But if we don't, our stay at the Vendome should be a memorable one!

When I called back GP customer service regarding something .. Long story but had to do with my 10 year old GP number got changed due to some issues they had and the number may have been compromised.
I was told that the passport escape is ending? That it might have ended on Sept 26, 2012 but they will honor ones already booked. I still see it on the awards page though?
