Thanks. It'll be my third stay at Shangri-La Paris (was last there in November 2012). I was actually hoping to stay at MO Paris (was there last January) for this trip but the rates there were considerably higher.
Skipping L'Abeille. Will likely go to Le Violon d'Ingres and L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon.

We leave for Dubrovnik tomorrow. Taking British Air First Class to London and then Croatian Air coach to Zagreb and then Dubrovnik. Staying 9 nights at the Hilton Dubrovnik. Total cost for British Air from Chicago using 150,000 British Air points and $2,328 (for 2 people). Croatia Air flights for 2 $541. What brings it all together is the 9 nights at the Hilton Dubrovnik for 337,500 Hilton Honors Points.
The weather looks like it will be great!

A Residence Inn is a luxury property when it becomes your home for 8 weeks after your place is rendered inhabitable by a storm (in my case Hurricane Andrew - I had a very long stay in the Residence Inn in Boca Raton FL after that storm). And a Residence Inn is a luxury property when management treats you and other people whose homes have been damaged/destroyed in a storm like long lost family instead of hurricane survivors who have lost all their underwear - or - in some cases - everything! And it is a luxury property when it continues to serve the manager's specials every night. Even if people without much money - like military families from Homestead Air Force Base - which was totally destroyed - had to double up in accommodations just to get a roof over their heads.
Service is everything when it comes to luxury. And that particular Residence Inn was ^^^ in terms of post-disaster service.
FWIW - I'll always have a warm fuzzy feeling about Residence Inns because of that experience. So you enjoy your stay at the Residence Inn in Times Square
