Much debate between Hotel Imperial, Ritz or Hotel Bristol. We chose Hotel Bristol, as we like modern decor and saw other elite members post about the Bristol Suite. We booked 5 nights in the Historic small room, 304 euro per night (AAA rate) and 5 SNA, hoping for a nice upgrade. After emailing the hotel, Dieter confirmed a Titianium upgrade to Bristol suite. We cancelled our SNA and the room has been wonderful with beautiful living room, separate bedroom w/comfy bed (high end linens), large walk in closet, spacious bathroom. Lovely coffee maker and great tea assortment. Elite breakfast is stunning buffet, 6:30-11am. Eggs cooked any way. Great way to start the day. Central location, we only used the metro one time and walked to every attraction. The metro is literally right outside the front door and we used it for airport transfer to/from hotel for 5 euros per person. The hotel offers Mercedes pick up for 60 euro. The beautiful Opera house is across the street and our room had a peek a boo view. Bristol Bar in the lobby is cozy and intimate. Housekeeping daily with turndown chocolate service. They bring bottled water everyday and evening. Our gift upon arrival was fresh fruit and flowers, cake and chocolate. Check in was swift and efficient. Didier, the concierge who got us the upgrade was great and we brought him a small gift from CA. Our stay couldn't have been better. FYI- Thankfully, our checked luggage didn't get lost when we transferred in London and we made our connection in the 2 hour window. We were so worried after hearing all the horror stories. Our flight landed on time at 6:30am and the security and passport control lines were non-existant (sure that's not normal except maybe this early in the day.
