It’s one of the less talked-about benefits of the Amex Platinum card, but it can get you a ton of value during your hotel stay

cardholders can expect the absolute best service the hotel can offer when they book through the program; being placed on the FHR list can be extremely lucrative for hotels, so naturally the property and its employees are eager to go the extra mile.The Amex Platinum is available to active duty servicemembers at no annual fee — but even with the fee, the credit card is a great value

Le Bristol sits in a grand building on Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, just off the famous Avenue des Champs-Élysées, and about a block away from the Élysée Palace, the French president's official residence. The hotel also has a full-time resident: A cat named Fa-Raon , who hangs out on the main floor and can be found snoozing on a desk or greeting guests.During my December stay, holiday cheer was in full swing in the form of elaborate Christmas decorations throughout the lobby.When we arrived from our red-eye flight, it was mid-morning and our rooms weren't ready yet — we took the earliest-arriving flight, so that was to be expected.Ultimately, our rooms became available before 12 p.m.

The hotel houses 90 rooms and 100 suites. I was booked into a junior suite — which was set up like a studio apartment — and because the hotel was booked through FHR, I was upgraded to one of the preferred junior suites with a garden view. There was a long entranceway, more like a short hallway, as soon as I walked into the room, with closets to my left and right.

The room also had a well apportioned bathroom, with a large soaking tub, a pleasant rain shower, and almost any toiletry you could need.The hotel has a fitness center that I didn't get the chance to use, but the spacious pool is in its own area.The pool room was long, with gently sloping walls and wood paneling that all served to evoke the feeling of a luxurious ship. On clear nights, you could get a glimpse of the Eiffel Tower through the windows while you swim.
