How does Accor treat you as an Elite guest?

Looks like a Pullman is finally coming to Perth....at the airport

I do think the Pullman at Perth airport is quite a few years too late, with the train now it's just a 20 min ride to the city centre so it's not as needed as it used to be.

I meant more from the perspective that PER has rubbish Accor hotels with a Novotel being the best currently. Would be good to see something like a Pullman or Sofitel open in the city or somewhere central.

To be fair, that Novotel (Murrary Street) is pretty great. There's the Adnate Art Series as well, though it's pretty much the same as the Novotel and doesn't earn as many points or cashback when you stay there.

I'd love to see the Perth Intercontinental rebrand as Sofitel.

If you're referring to the CBD proper, then yes I will concede that they could use a Sofitel or something nicer than what they have. From the two Accors I stayed at in the CBD (ibis Styles and a Novotel) they both seemed a bit tired.

With that being said, there are nicer options outside of the CBD, Tribe Perth King's Park is one such example. They also have some other boutiques in the area like the Wonil Hotel Perth.

Would be good to see something like a Pullman or Sofitel open in the city or somewhere central. Especially with a good restaurant for those with the A+ benefits.

To be perfectly honest, the problem isn't so much the number of luxury hotels but the quality of the hotels they have. I've stayed at Mercure and Novotel hotels that are nice, but so far as I can tell the stuff they have in Perth is long overdue for refurbishment. If these hotels got some TLC they deserve then quite frankly there wouldn't be a need for this discussion at all.

I’m sorry but hard disagree.
I don’t want to stay in Novotel’s if possible and I definitely don’t want to stay any Ibis property unless all options are exhausted. Perth needs a Pullman and/or Sofitel in the CBD

Well despite the earlier warning about the Pullman, i decided to stick with the booking as i needed a stay for Qantas fast track and i couldn't decide on another hotel. Saying that, i think it all went alright! But i can see the other side of it.

The hotel manager emailed a few days out and i replied back that i'd like a quiet room. I also mentioned i had a parcel being sent to me, so if they are able to accept it and hand it over at check in. We didn't arrive until night so no check in issues for me, we were given a nice quiet room on the ground floor just near the ground pool, not sure if my request was considered but happy it worked out either way! Parcel was brought out to me at check in before i could mention it also, awesome!

We couldn't hear the road from the room thankfully. There was some fireworks here and there, but i think we managed to avoid any random after midnight fireworks (Though maybe Saturday night can get crazy?). While we did order a King bed, we walked in to see 2 beds instead. They did promptly fix this up by joining them together with a topper, but a proper king would have been better. The room photos do appear to show this as an option, but hey, bigger bed i guess. Agree that it's not overly comfortable though, but they were happy to provide a 2nd blanket, though it felt weird to not have anything but that.

The rest of the room is fine, i'm still working out the quality difference between each brand but it could certainly be due for some touch ups and tuning. Breakfast buffet has a large range and my partner's A+ was taken easily for breakfast and dinner, happy with this! Service was lovely throughout the hotel

Would stay again! Though i'd definitely try some other locations first.
