Are you sure it wasn't just an Executive room? I don't think there is a classification of Executive Suite here.

Anyone here have an email address for someone in guest relations @ Le Grand?
Taking my mom to Paris for her birthday in 2 weeks, and its her first trip outside of the U.S. so I would like to have them do something special.
Thanks.

Confused me too Stimpy. Booked a JS For a 25th wedding anniversary and communicated that to the hotel. In response the indicated an upgrade to ambassador or Exceutive Suite. Neither are listed on the website. I'll find out in a few hours and report back.

Agreed Exec Suite is one I am not familiar with and have never seen listed. Something like 70 suites all told at PLG, including multiple Ambassador/Royal/Presidenial Suites.
After Junior Suite, Opera View J/S, Prestige Suite, Opera View Prestigue Suite (the highest I upgrade to here), pecking order then goes..... Ambassador One Bedroom (84m)/Royal 2 Two Bedroom(121m)/Presidential Two Bedroom(172m) Suites
Ambassador Suite is a massive 1-cat rate jump something like 700 -> 2100 Euro/night from Opera Prestigue Suite.
Amb Suite
84 sqm in average with separate entertaining area. Two bathrooms high speed internet decoration in second empire style minibar safe air conditioning work desk dual line telephone pay TV satellite dataport one rollaway bed possible custom duvets and upscale linens.

Got the 2 category upgrade to the Ambassador Suite. Wonderful room, separate bedroom and salon connected by small hallway. Perfect for a couple working through different stages of jet lag. Street facing (non opera) 3rd floor suite.Traffic noise not much of an issue for us. PLG is an old, large, beauty. Heightened security features apparent and welcomed by us. Thanks again for the help. Reluctantly accepted a free night certificate for one of our 4 nights. If I had not booked the AMB weekend rate, I would have understood. Seems to be some certificate blocking going on recently. Had a similar issue at the IC Times Square earlier in the month.

He's the GM. Might as well start there. He took VERY good care of my wife and me for a milestone anniversary.

I emailed and his PA replied that they will be providing my mom with a birthday cake and bottle of champagne for her birthday when we arrive on Friday!!!! ^^^
So excited, and I know she will be too!
Booked into a Executive Twin Club Room with 1 paid night, 2 nights with AMB coupon, and an additional 4th night added on with points before the increase due to a schedule change with our Delfa flight home so we scored an extra day in Paris for free.

Sounds very good, based on the reservation system that I studied when I did make my points res too, being Spire. Still having Classic but expecting to see until the last date about any upgrade, otherwise I am eyeing competitive properties too... 60k is much for Classic IMO compared to what you could get elsewhere, but if upgraded to decent room, then I take it any day. Superior Eiffel view sounds good, but then other guys know here a lot more about how those rooms really are. I have never stayed here...would you mind report back how it went ^

I know the breakfast here is about 40EUR per person.
But is the price the same if you ask them to add breakfast on a reward stay (I know some hotels are willing to charge you the difference between a room only and breakfast inclusive package)?

We returned yesterday. Had a lovely stay. We were Upgraded to executive Eiffel Tower view on arrival. We were given a voucher on arrival for a drink each (we had champagne). We also got a welcome amenity delivered to our room of a small fruit bowl and 3 bottles of a fruit drink. We didn't upgrade to it this time but the club access was showing to be €140 per night.
