Starwood opens Hotel de Berri, a brand new luxury hotel in Paris, this week

In what may be the last major opening before Starwood and Marriott fully combine their loyalty schemes next month, SPG’s The Luxury Collection is officially opening Hotel de Berri in Paris on 20th July. It actually opened a couple of days ago, however, for a ‘soft’ launch.
This looks like an attempt at a very high-end property. It has, astonishingly for a city centre hotel, a 3000 square metre private park. This is shared with the occupants of just 75 rooms, including 35 suites.
The decor looks a bit …. eclectic …. but let’s see. Here is one example:
…. and here is another:
Situated on rue de Berri, it is a very short walk from the Champs-Elysees.
At a reassuringly expensive €500 per night, it is decent value even as a Category 7 Starwood redemption at 30,000 points per night. However, from mid August when SPG and Marriott Rewards merge, it will be bookable for just 60,000 ‘new scheme’ points (the equivalent of 20,000 Starwood Preferred Guest points) which will be excellent value.
