Booking Accor property on behalf of someone else

[thatsthatmattressman]

Hi all,
I am Booking an Accor property on behalf of someone else in SAustralia and prepaying via my LeClub account. Not concerned if they get benefits but is there a best practice in ensuring there are no troubles on arrival?

Cheers

Have done this a few times with various hotels and always ensured hotel knows the correct name for the guest, by email or phone if necessary. Never had a problem.

No. The upgrade is for the member only. And, if you are a platinum IHG member then even the WP gets bugger all except a snide comments that upgrades are only for ambassadors members...

Not sure why IHG are being involved here, like most chains room upgrades can vary greatly between properties.

At intercontinental hotels upgrades are only for Ambassador and Royal Ambassador members, Rewards Club plat will get you nothing
