New Years Eve Party - Prince De Galle Paris
I am planning on cashing in a ton of SPG points to spend New Years Eve at the Prince De Galle Hotel in Paris, and I was wondering if anyone had information if there was plans for a party/event for the guests at the hotel? It has been very difficult to find out any info. Obviously, it is no big deal if there isn't - I am sure the night life will be amazing.

Why not just email the property and ask(the email address is listed on the spg website). I guess if I was going to be in Paris on NYE I probably wouldn't be in my hotel though

Any recent stays here?
Hi we are staying here in March and were wondering about upgrades - did do the upgrade to the junior suite with points. What about rooms / beds updated?
Thanks
Thanks

I was there in May 07. I was initially upgraded to a two room suite on a 5 night stay. Then after 2 nights we were upgraded to even larger 2 room suite with a walk in closet, entry way, etc.
The Beds and linens were fine, nothing special that I can recall, but nothing bad either. They provided a platinum amenity upon arrival (wine & fruit).
I got a whole spreadsheet on restaurants that were recomended, PM me and I'll send it to you.

OT, IMO, the Park Tower has among the BEST beds/linens I have encountered, anywhere.

Two years back
I stayed at the Prince de Galles two years ago. The location was fantastic and I really liked the old style decor. I stayed using points and was upgraded to a suite.
On the downside, the staff was not very friendly, and the cost of everything was incredibly high. I believe it takes even more points to stay there now.
To summarize, very good hotel in a great location that is overpriced.

stayed back in march 06 when it was still a cat 5. did it on a points stay and had to ask for an upgrade even though the hotel was not even remotely full.
great location, but there is no way would this be worth it now as a cat 7

Thanks guys for the input. I have a stay booked there on points. Special trip (taking my niece to Paris (her first time) as a graduation gift). I stayed there one night about 5 years ago and thought it was lovely so a bit disappointing to hear that it's gone "downhill." Perhaps I should move to the Westin Paris instead?

They do not seem to like children or people without business suit in this hotel!

Hey there! Would definately take the Westin if you are with "younger" people. I myself am 23 years old, and took my little brother of 14 years old in december and last week to this hotel... Really never again!

My niece is 17 going on 30 Well I guess we'll just take our chances here and hope it will be nice. After all - it's Paris - how much time do you really spend in the hotel? Thanks for the information all; it is very useful!
