Did they end the Club Life Experience? I'm RA and will stay there on Aug. I booked for the Prestige Suite but it would be sad that if I have to pay for breakfast even I'm staying at suites.

Yep, ended at the 3x Europe IC's.. A few months ago IHG told the three trialling IC's they were no longer allowed to offer the Club Experience as trial period was over.

There are two main components to Club. Breakfast and happy hour. In the past this hotel would give RA's drink coupons for all registered guests in the room. I expect they will return to that and hopefully RA's will have breakfast. I don't have any stays planned here til Autumn. We'll see.

Regarding Club Experience, the trial ended, but they are reviewing the trial data to see how it can be made permanent in some fashion. And as a regular guest here, I still got most elements including breakfast and complimentary drinks each day. And the usual Harbor Privilege Suite upgrade. Always a great stay at this hotel.

I’m looking at this hotel for a trip in March. I’d like an Exec Harbour view with terrace. As a Spire Amb do I need to book an Exec or a Deluxe Harbour view to get upgraded to the harbour view exec? I’d have thought Exec but would they really ‘upgrade’ somebody booking a Deluxe harbour view to an exec without a view?

I had a very nice stay this weekend, however it ended sad as the hotel closed its doors as soon as we checked out yesterday. They are hopeful they will be able to open back up in December but that will depend on the French government and how well they handle COVID.

Well, early August is holiday season and prices in MRS and the coast are cray cray this year. 220-300€ for the Dieu when I checked. During the off or shoulder season the Chase offer makes no sense.

I think my syntax was off. Was looking at August, and IHG wanted 220 EUR and Chase 320.
