The breakfast spread was limited compared to the breakfast room. Underwhelming compared to the breakfast room or the restaurant? Yes. I did not want to eat there because I knew that I'd have dinner in the restaurant. As you can see from my review, I only ate at the restaurants on property, and I only stopped by the lounge to check it out. I probably should have made it clear that I don't normally go to lounges as I like food and I know that I won't find good food there. You can’t fault anything but your two visits to the lounge were underwhelming and you didn’t find the F&B to be good at all? That’s quite a criticism even if you didn’t intend to eat there. There were two wines on offer (no champagne or sparkling wine), and some hard spirits.Ī really great stay, and a really great hotel.
The breakfast selection was rather limited, and the evening selection did not look that appealing (although, I must admit, I was not going to eat there anyway). I stopped by the Executive Lounge both in the morning and in the evening, and was underwhelmed. (Baba au Rhum - I could not say 'no' to this fantastic desert) (Black Angues Beef & Butter Chorizo Sauce) I also had dinner at Le Grand Salone one night, and was not disappointed.
(Soup of the day and Toasted Chicken & Organic Compte - this one was my favourite) The service was rather slow (especially when that glass of Prosecco could not have arrived quicker), but the food was great. I had lunch at Le Pain Quotidien, which is on property, and enjoyed it a lot. I believe there was an option to order something off a limited menu for a fee (not sure if it is waived for Honors elites). They even had herring, which we love here in Ukraine, but I was not sure that it is something people eat in Western Europe. All the cold cuts you can think of (smoked salmon, all sorts of meats and cheeses), and the typical hot food. The selection was very nice (and so was the service). It was clean, well-appointed and just very nice.
The Executive Suite was basically a standard room, a toilet and a separate bathroom (shower only) in-between and a living room. As I was very tired all I had the strength to do was have a drink (or three ) in Le Grand Salone. Had a very friendly check-in agent who informed me about the upgrade, breakfast and the use of the Executive Lounge. I took the last flight of the day from Kiev so arrived rather late. The day before check-in my reservation changed to a Suite, and on the day of arrival I noticed that it changed to an Executive Suite.^ I booked an Executive room because I really wanted some space, and their standard rooms are really small (and you never know if you'll get an upgrade). It was my third stay in as many years, and I really liked it. I stayed here two weeks ago for a weekend.
