I booked these rooms with cash + points back in September. After about 10 days I finally had someone at Hyatt confirm that the hotel was indeed closed and I had no rooms. They basically forgot to tell me. I talked to a supervisor's supervisor who opened up a case. She was very helpful, but couldn't do anything without giving the hotel a chance to re-accommodate me. She said if they hotel didn't make it right, to call back in 48 hours. I got an initial email from the hotel apologizing for forgetting to contact me and offered several unsatisfactory options. I immediately called the hotel and the very nice woman said to give her a few days as they were working on 3 options. In the end I was moved to the Madeleine without the co-pay portion of the rooms, which came out to roughly $2300 w/ conversion. Although the Hotel du Louvre was a perfect location for our plans, I thought this was a fair trade-off. She offered a couple other options but the Madeline made the most sense for us.
One of the best lessons I've learned from Flyertalk is to babysit all reservations. In my case, I had three rooms that still showed as confirmed even though the hotel was closed. If something seems off it's always better to call and double or triple check. I can't imagine what I would have done if I walked up the hotel at 5pm expecting to check in and find the hotel to be completely closed.

When this place opens back up, how many points is it for a room in august for 2 adults, or 2 adults and a three year old? You cant get that info from the hyatt site right now because of the reno, and Ive seen anywhere from 12k to 35k in various forums. At least, how many points per night was it when it closed?

Hotel du Louvre was 20K points per night. I saw points up to 30K for certain dates in March '19 (probably Paris Fashion Week),
I am not seeing availability for most of my searches. I wouldn't count on this hotel open by August.

I have a stay booked for Jan 2019. It looks ok on line except for room size only 15-18 sqm!)
Can I expect an upgrade to a bigger room on 1/2 (for a week)?

Hyatt Paris Madeleine: 215-269 sf
HR Etoile: 22sqm (236 sf)
Heck, even the Park Hyatt only has 26-30 sqm rooms (280-320 sf)
As for your question, for my general guess is that if you have globalist status on a non-peak timeperiod, you should be upgraded from a standard room to at least a view room (15-25 sqm). As it gets closer, you can check to see if they're still selling rooms of those types to give you a better idea. It's still not likely to be a large room, but perhaps a little larger.

Thanks for the response.
i personally find the difference between 15-18 sqm (161-193 feet) to be significantly smaller than those other room sizes.

The closure has been extended, and I don't see a new date. "In an effort to achieve the renovation as soon as possible and because of unforeseen structural constraints, the Hotel du Louvre is forced to extend its temporarily closure after Sep 14th, 2018." Working w/them to get my res changed to Hyatt Etoile. UPDATE: Your hotel is undergoing a major makeover to be completed early 2019.

I just stayed at PHV during fashion week for 30,000 points and got a nice suite upgrade. YMMV.

Please keep us posted, especially on whether they were open to changing it to the PH. I wasn't all that fond of the Madelaine when I went (I was in a standard room) and I really wanted to be at the Hotel du Louvre location (Place Vendome where the PH is would also work).
