Benefits matrix

The dining discount is good and usually applies when two are dining together. The Red Hot Room-rates are often excellent, and you can sample them here. The free night voucher, if used strategically, can cover the expense of buying the package and can be used at any Accor Plus participating country.

The Accor Plus also comes with country-specific discount dining and accommodation vouchers except Australia.

The 10% discount off of the best available rate can come handy if there are no other discounts available, especially for those that cannot book in advance during Accor’s frequent sales.

Accor Plus membership benefits are valid in the following countries:

Australia, Cambodia, China, Fiji, French Polynesia, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Laos, Macau, Malaysia, Maldives, Mongolia, Myanmar, New Zealand, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam.

Banyan Tree, Sofitel Legend, Fairmont, SO/Sofitel, Sofitel, MGallery, Art Series, Pullman, Swissôtel, Angsana, Grand Mercure, Quay West, Peppers, The Sebel, Mantra, Cassia, Novotel, Mercure, BreakFree, Ibis, Ibis Styles, and Ibis Budget.

Conclusion

I have been contemplating buying one of the memberships already for quite some time, but haven’t pulled the trigger. To my understanding, Accor Plus can deliver the package to any of their hotels in participating countries regardless of where your actual membership is based.

The dining discount is very good for those that like to wine and dine at hotel restaurants even when not staying. Many hotel chains offer similar packages for locals to drive F&B spend.

There were some reports about difficulties booking the free night on Accor’s website earlier this year. The issue might have been resolved as I haven’t heard anything recently.
