I read through most of the pages but I still can’t decide which Paris hotel from Marriott chain (I will be using my Marriott points for the stay) is the best for us with 2 toddlers under 5? Can someone please help? We have plenty of Marriott pt to use up so we prefer to stay at a higher cat hotel.
thanks
thanks

UPDATE: Went to make a points booking and the PdG won't allow me to make a points resv even though they have what appears to be standard rooms available. The Hotel de Berri has really caught my eye, but does anyone know how plats are treated there? Breakfast? SNA chances?

My ambassador is trying to see if they will confirm an upgrade pre-arrival. The terms say you're entitled to an upgrade at check-in. I could check-in now, but the hotel initially pushed back at my ambassador and claimed upgrades happened at the time of arrival, now check-in.
Since they have every category of suites available I don't think it is unreasonable as an ambassador to ask for more than the entry-level suite.

I have reservations at the Renaissance Paris Arc de Triomphe Hotel and PDG during early February. Should we be worried about the protests at either of these hotels? I'm hoping things settle down over the next couple of weeks.

Hoping to do 5 nights at the end of the year for new years and looking for suggestions, 240k points so anything with points bookings available goes. I stayed at the Renaissance Vendome last year and really enjoyed it but I there's so many good options I want to try something else.
Marriott Platinum Premiere so anything that gives breakfast.
Here's my list:
Renaissance République - 200k points, looks like a less touristy area but still nice
W Opera - Looks nice but for 240k points I'm not sure
Westin Vendome - Looks great, same location as last time but a nice hotel
PDG - Looks superb, almost no chance of an upgrade I'm sure but still well worth 240k points
Berri - Haven't heard anything, just opened
Renaissance Arc de Triumph - Looks great, especially for "only" 200k points for 5 nights
Marriott Platinum Premiere so anything that gives breakfast.

Renaissance République is by far the best value.
Hôtel de Berri, Luxury Collection has almost no reports whereas there are plenty of reports on stays at Prince de Galles, Luxury Collection. You could always make two bookings and then cancel one at a later date.
Are you planning on spending a lot of time in the room? I ask because your answer could change the hotel recommendation.

The Westin is tired and will be leaving Marriott once renovations are complete, at least that's my understanding.

That's good info on the Westin, the building and location look optimal but if it's in need of a renovation then I'll skip it.
I'm sorta split between the PDG and Renaissance République as one looks top notch and the other looks like a super value, although a tiny room and a queen sized bed.

I wouldn't say I'd spend the entire time relaxing at the hotel like a resort, but I usually end up having breakfast there, heading out, and then coming back for a nap in the afternoon. So I'd say a fair bit of time.

Service is better at the Prince de Galles, but not overly better. It's not a St. Regis. They don't have butler service, for example. Fit and finish in the rooms is better. So, the Prince de Gales wins for rooms.
In terms of neighborhood, both hotels tie each other, though the Renaissance is in a more authentic Parisian neighborhood.
Since you're paying points I would go with the Renaissance if only because you'll save a lot of points. If you have the cash, I would spend my money at the Ritz, the Peninsula or the Four Seasons Hotel George V over the Prince de Galles.

I’ll be in Paris in a month and was torn between the PdG, Westin and Hotel de Berri. I had a family member stay at the HdB last month and loved it although the location is boring.
I love a luxury hotel however my wife and I mapped out all the places and restaurants we wanted to go in Paris and the majority are much closer to the Westin. I’m 80% confident that we will end up back at the Westin (we stayed there in 2015 and 2016). They gave a good, full breakfast buffet. We’ve always been upgraded to massive suites with great views and love the location.
In 2017, we tried the Le Roch just down the street. Great boutique hotel however I would never pay the rates on the Marriott site. Also, there’s no Platinum breakfast (my wife loves breakfast, I’m content skipping). If I was staying on points, I would go back to the Le Roch. If I’m paying, most likely the Westin.
I’m sad to not try the PdG or the HdB but I’m not going to Paris for the hotel and would prefer to be in a better area.

I wouldn’t dismiss the Westin. Granted it’s going to be renovated and reflagged, the property is not terrible and in an excellent location.

stayed there a couple of years ago. very nice hotel actually. breakfast was very good and it was complimentary (no need to sacrifice bonus point). service was also very good all around.
even minimal upgrade, room was pretty big for paris and in good condition, not dated definitely. overall much better than usual Wesitn in the US. location, to me, was also the best.
It will have the reno because they need to add more luxury touch and become something more upscale hotel than it is currently.

Your experience may vary, of course. I would just hate to spend all those points and then get disappointed when you arrive. Why take the chance?

With all of this talk about which hotel is best and every hotel's reviews ranging from "best hotel ever" to "worst hotel ever" I decided to make a reservation where I stayed last time, the Renaissance Vendome. Rooms are small and it's just a queen bed if I don't get upgraded, but the people were very nice and the location is perfect.
