Breakfast is less relevant to me since we usually prefer something light and we prefer to have room service rather than go to the restaurant (with a few exceptions) but I totally agree that Marriott has failed big time with their breakfast policies. They are ridiculously complicated, they vary not only from brand to brand but are subject to each hotel's interpretation and even the same hotels often have different rules for different guests. This is one benefit that Hyatt gets right for their top elites and Marriott bungles.

That said, on our last European trip in October things worked out great for us on our Plat breakfasts. PdG let us have continental breakfast in our room. Grande Bretagne was a restaurant worth going to, Mystique and Domes of Elounda delivered lavish room service breakfasts to our terraces. But it is a bit silly to have to ask at every hotel. During my brief (comped) tenure as a Hyatt Diamond guest all of the hotels we visited offered extravagant breakfasts delivered daily to our room.

PdG may charge €38 for continental breakfast; but IMO it's not worth €38.

Value always will be in the eye of the beholder. The PdG is a 5 star luxury hotel in a very tony location in Paris. It's gonna be pricey. And its breakfast charge is pretty comparable to that at comparable hotels nearby and in this class.

Yes, you're clearly correct. I guess that I've been spoiled by being in SEAsia where full breakfast for PLTs is more common than not.

Just had a lovely weekend in Paris at the PDG. I am Platinum Premier and although didn't get an obvious upgrade (it is fashion week and everything is full) the room was lovely. Love the art deco styling and everything was immaculate. The staff were exceptionally friendly and made us feel very welcome. Our 4pm late check out was offered proactively and we took the continental breakfast as our welcome gift. The charge of 38EUR on the menu is a bit expensive but to be honest it is a 5 star Hotel, the breakfast room is gorgeous and we found the offering to be very good. There was a lovely selection of breads and pastries, and yoghurts and fruits, and cold meats and cheese and smoked salmon. One morning there was also a selection of Houmous/Moutabel and Labneh with Pitta bread. We were quite content. The option for eggs etc was 11EUR ww thought was reasonable but did not need to pay it as we were so full.
We used points for two nights and compared to the Westin up the road at Vendome think got good value.
Would definitely choose to come back here next time we are in Paris.
The Yellow Jacket Demo's were active but did not really bother us and we were able to move around normally.

Thank you for your trip review.

I'm planning to go to Paris in 2 weeks and managed to score GREAT BRG rate here. Any concerns about the protest situation? Is the quote above still true? Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I was in Paris two weekends ago and was directly impacted by rioting at Republique (staying at the Ren). I cancelled a PdG stay for the following weekend (where my SNA had cleared into a Macassar View suite) in favor of Zurich b/c I didn't really like the feel of the city, which is definitely a bit on edge.

Note that Saturday is the day you really want to avoid, as that's the day les gilets jaunes hold their big marches. The march routes have been moving around, which is potentially good for you, because the activity is no longer focused so intensely on the Champs Elysees.

I was in Paris from April 21-23. No sights of the yellow jackets. We stayed at Hotel de Berri. Beautiful hotel BTW.

That's because you were not there on a Saturday.
