When I was there in Fall of 22, the croissants were subpar. Improved since then?

Only difference is the price now EUR50 (if not Globalist) ouch.
I think it may be EUR55 now.
But, yeah, things are (or were in March) pretty much how they have been. Might have been the season, but there were no mangoes (which, when they are there, are usually darned good) and the delicious nut and chocolate cookie had mutated from large size to small.

Here now and the Blaise Mautin is indeed much different than it was, even from January of 2024. Its completely underwhelming. Even their bar soaps which used to smell good have been changed to some cheap generic smelling stuff. You can see the new cheap stuff is bigger and now made in Italy where the old stuff that smelled pretty good (one bar was left in our powder room) was from Portugal. They smell nothing alike.

Is the Meet & Assist arrival service still worth it if one is arriving CDG on a Schengen flight? What is the current cost?

Does anyone have a listing of what their standard suites are?

In my experience, all rooms -- including those labeled as standard suites -- are idiosyncratic. They each have their own pleasant characteristics, and sometimes omissions. Dressing areas will vary a lot. Sometimes in a standard suite there is a powder room (i.e., second toilet) near the entry and sometimes not. I have had things labeled as standard suites that were little more than an adjacent seating area and others that were more extensive. Perhaps others are this Board can give you the kind of definitive answer, rule-wise, that you are looking for, but I would be dubious that it will allow you to predict exactly what the room will be like.

I was able to secure a standard suite upgrade last month but passed on it as they are all interior courtyard views per Edouard. I prefer the front rooms that overlook the La Rue de la Paix and opening the doors for fresh air.

I had to pass on a suite with a tiny balcony on rue de la paix due to construction across the street. The doors dont have good soundproofing.

Well spotted. Blaise Mautin appears to have moved their partnership for hotel amenities from Groupe GM to La Bottega earlier this year - https://www.instagram.com/labottega_...af&img_index=1

Personally I'd say no, but then again I don't find arriving at CDG on a Schengen flight particularly tough. It's straight off the plane to baggage plane

Im trying to find out what I can use a SUA for. Most say This is a standard suite or this is a premiums suite but not PH.

I was upgraded to a beautiful suite that was an interior view. To the hotel's credit, they held a room overlooking Rue De La Paix and let me inspect the suite as they know my preferences. The suite was stunning and on a high floor. I reviewed it in this thread.

I understand. The problem is (problems are) that standard suites to which one can apply an SUA are few. It is not easy to apply a SUA at PHV, but it is possible. The few rooms are different from on another. So it is difficult to say what you "can" and cannot insist upon. On the positive side, my experience (and that of others - see above) is that some of the suites that they may end up giving you, assuming you are able to apply an SUA, are quite nice (and are probably rooms/suites that do not figure into their official livery of "standard suites.") I think a lot depends on luck, when you happen to show up, and so on.
If you can apply an SUA for your dates, do so. It's a very nice hotel, and the upside potential for your upgrade is likely higher than the downside "risk."

It appears to me that the property might be making the standard suite available with a minimum stay requirement. I checked some dates in March and April of 2025. If I checked the dates for five nights or shorter, the Park Suite does not show up for cash or points. However, once expanded to six nights, the Park Suite shows up.
In such cases, is the move to book the six nights, then call to ask for the stay to be shortened?
