Looked it up the other day as we plan to go in July.

Ah that’s better than I thought - just remembered it wasn’t the full benefit.

If you haven’t visited before the rooftop bar at the Hotel des Artes is worth a visit. Good view over the city from there and a much nicer place for a drink than the Sofitel pool bar.
Arguably a better located hotel too - not significant but the Sofitel is a 5-10 minute walk from the livelier streets, the MGallery is right in the thick of it.

Best to check with the specific property and F&B outlet. I’ve seen a few on other platforms saying they’ve done this in the past, but I find it hard to believe, given the likely complications involved.

I expect if it were to happen that the bill would need to be settled at the hotel front desk, as the outlets are unlikely to have access to do this. Others might have direct experiences.

Cheers,
Matt.

Yeah - not great, unless you have a glut of points and no plans to stay somewhere anytime soon. Just save it for a stay and eat there when you do, using points towards the bill at check out.

Cheers,
Matt

Has there been a devaluation of the stay plus free night?
Last year we could book the sofitel melbourne for the stay plus, this year, I check around 20 different weekends, 4-8 months in advance and couldn't find a single for free, most asked for $350 payment for the room. When considering breaky not included feels a bit much!
Most other Melbourne properties also requiring a co-payment!

I was able to book it earlier this year @random111 for a weeknight in June, didn't check weekends.

I managed to extract great value this year. Stopping off in BNE for a random night mid-week. Went to book a hotel and they were extortionate. Turns out state of origin is on. Managed to use the free night at the Novotel which was selling for $550/night with no co-payment required.
