Paris Marriott Opera Ambassador Hotel, Paris, France [Master Thread]
New hotel in Marriott folio starting July 1, 2013 (not showing up on Marriott website yet).
http://news.marriott.com/2013/06/mar...-in-paris.html
"the 298-room Paris Marriott Opera Ambassador Hotel will join its portfolio of more than 3,800 properties worldwide on 1st July 2013 under a franchise agreement with WB AMBASSADOR SAS.
Located on the right bank of the River Seine in the 9th Arrondissement and Opera Quarter, the Paris Marriott Opera Ambassador Hotel is a few minutes’ walk from the city’s major attractions including the Opera House, Montmartre, Sacre Coeur, Le Louvre, Place Vendome, Jardins des Tuileries and Galleries Lafayette with world class shopping and boutiques. Also in close proximity to the business district, Paris Stock Exchange and numerous shops and restaurants, the hotel is the perfect base for business and leisure travellers.
Originally built in 1927, the hotel was the vision of the influential architect Baron Haussmann who was commissioned to reshape Paris' streets and architecture. The property has an illustrious past as host to royalty, politicians and visiting heads of state along with important historical figures such as Charles Lindbergh and Gustave Eiffel. The hotel famously hosted Charles Lindbergh’s celebrations as he historically completed the first solo flight across the Atlantic and named the hotel bar in his honour."
Cheers.

Hmm I've got a three day CC award stay coming up in Oct. I wonder if they'll ask us to move to another CC property or if Marriott will honor the points reservation?

The weird part is that the announcement that it was joining Marriott on July 1st was done on June 27th, yet it doesn't show up on the Marriott website as an 'opening soon' property. I just checked through Jan '14 & it doesn't show up. Wonder if the start date is wrong or it's going under renovation after July 1st & won't re-open until later? Or for some reason they're not loading it into the system until Monday.
My guess is it will be a Cat 8 when it does get loaded.
Cheers.

I have absolutely no idea what the above means. What's a CC award stay? I'm guessing Club Carlson? If so, you might want to ask on that forum or call their cust svc to see how they'll handle it.

I talked to the Plat line & they called the property in Paris, who said to check back after the 1st (Monday). The Plat line thinks the property will be loaded into the system then & can be booked for revenue nights/awards at that point.
Cheers.

What's weird is that you can book this hotel from the Club Carlson website right now for October - points or cash. You'd think they would at least wipe out point availability going forward. Cash reservations are a lot easier to transfer- I would guess.

It is still for sale on the Club Carlson website...so my guess is that Marriott can't sell rooms on their site until the official change.

I've stayed there before a couple of times. Fine hotel with a nice breakfast. Rooms are all over the place in size and quality. Wifi was very iffy. It's overpriced for what it is as a Radisson Blu and I am sure it will be as a Marriott too. (You can get a lot nicer in Paris for the money and IMHO the location is not 'all that') I would NEVER pay cat 8 points for it though.
Cheers.
