A wide staircase and elevators are near the entrance, just past the concierge. When you get up to the first floor, you will find the door to the club by one corner.

The new "corporate" renaming of room/suites catagories has hit PLG.

My booking for prestige suite has changed to "1 KING bed 1 bedroom suite with balcony"

It does sounds rather clinical

Yes it is generally locked and you have to knock or ring the bell. That's a good thing as the old club used to have a lot of people wandering in thinking it was free for everyone.

Maybe but as you can’t see in it’s a bit disconcerting the first time , I was walking back to the lift when it was opened 😂

Lol. They introduced a new room type below a classic room.

The cosy room.

If you're lucky you will be upgraded to classic.

I think the New cosy room is the old standard, as it seems the cosy is 20m2, Classic is 26 m2 (Old superior) and Premium is the old Excecutive 34m2

I just saw that my room description has been updated from Club room and is now listed as a King bed premium room, which is fine, but there is no mention of lounge access in the new booking - oh well I still have a e-mail where the room is listed as a club room, so I guess we will be fine.

Love2travel73 : You should be ok,
We have a club room booked aswell and due to the expected AMB upgrade, the room type was changed to a placeholder roomtype losing the club benefits description.

On another side note,

1) The sunday brunches are back and also the festive Easter brunch returns:
https://www.cafedelapaix.fr/en/news/
https://parislegrand.intercontinenta.../happy-easter/

2) it is going to be a busy Easter holiday at the hotel:
i checked the availability at the hotel for rooms, seems that from Thu 14 untill Sat 16 April it will be a full house:

A busy morning,
Packing stuff for Paris hoping to get advantage of predicted sunshine.

Yesterday the restaurant Foutaine Gallion called me to apologise for cancelling our Monday dinner reservation.
I made an alternative booking at restaurant Drouant as it seemed across the street, so nearby.

Checking the IHG app:
- our orginal club room had switched to executive twin and now to 2 twin bed classic!

But

- our orginal prestige suite -> renamed 1 King 1 bedroom suite with balcony -> upgraded to ambassador suite !

You can all expect a thorough review!
Although it is Easter / Pesach|Passover i am quite excited to get this unexpected surprise
