Accor "Welcome" Gifts for Elites?

[jase05]

The do have a lounge - sort of. It's a separated area from the restaurant with a long bench table and stools so for your canapes it's communal "dining". Some may like this, others may not. I'm staying there tomorrow night in a suite so will bring my own nice bottle of wine and enjoy it in the room.

For breakfast you just join in the regular breakfast rush which is pretty bad - they often run out of items and whoever thought the heavy pot lids on the hot dishes without a stand for them was a good idea needs their head read. The maitre-d always seems under pressure and the atmosphere is always one of chaos. Any ordered items (barista coffee, eggs) can arrive quickly or take ages.

Last time we were there you could still access the “old” lounge too.
The lounge has tea and coffee facilities plus a fridge full of juices, soft drinks and water. I just went in there a few times and helped myself to a few with no issues.
The snacks at happy hour can get a bit packed on that bench area though and I’m not a huge fan of it TBH
