How does Accor treat you as an Elite guest?

[RooFlyer]

OT, but does beg the question why overground tours still quote double occupancy or pay a single supplement…

I assume because they usually include all meals plus transport (bus tours)?

If you are a single, and don't pay a single supplement, they will put someone with the same gender in the room with you - compulsory double occupancy. Its like cruises, they actually sell the rooms as a double, but price it as a single, compulsory double occupancy (but cruises won't put someone else in the room with you!).

Hotel prices the room as 100. Tour operator prices it as 60 per person, double occupancy (or single pays the supplement).

Has anyone stayed at Sofitel Melbourne on Collins lately? Hoping for some recent info on Club menus, and possibly of upgrade as a Plat.

Yes sad fact and those extra rooms don't count to the nights spent at Accor total. Only the main guests room. But points are given at least.

Slightly OT, question if I may please.

Looking to book SGN and Danang accommodation with fully flexible rates to be paid to the hotel on arrival.
I prefer to pay before I go (in AUD) - is this a possibility, just call up Accor reservations? (am Accor Plus Gold)

In the app once you have selected the room and go to rates, you are mostly given the opportunity to pay now for non-flex, now for flex or pay the Hotel for flex.

But sometimes a particular rate isn’t available ( ?sold out) so it doesn’t show. In which case you could call.

The above copied almost word for word from my last stay here. Another excellent stay with no problems at all. Excellent Plat amenity.

Oh, just one issue . The doors close very loudly and with vibration nearby if you don’t control it and most people didn’t.









A pretty poor car park view



Canapés in the bar ( not in the lounge which isn’t attended and no booze)
