Accor Hotels in Bangkok

Banyan Tree has been a favourite of mine for a long time, the rooftop bar is spectacular.

I'm looking to stay in Bangkok for a week mid year and have been looking at prices.

I can book the Grand Mecure Bangkok Atrium for under AUD70 per night. The rates for other comparable places are 20% or more higher.

I am ALL Platinum so would have complimentary lounge and breakfast. I have no concerns about location.

Do any have recent experience with this hotel or other suggestions that may assist me here?

I stayed there for 2 nights last year. The only issue I had was that it was a bit of a walk from the nearest metro, Makkasan. They have a shuttle to Makassan and a few other places.

The stay also didn't qualify for points or stays.... I would have gone somewhere else if I had realised before hand.

Second that about the roof top bar. The pool area is a bit small. The lounge is quite good too. For some reason I recall that beer is available all day there too, but don't quote me on that.

Was it booked via an external booking company?
If not it should have been eligible for points

Loved Banyan Tree when I stayed there about six months ago. Great status recognition too. The one downside is that Banyan Tree hotels don't participate in Accor+, so you can't use any of the discounts or Stay Plus nights there.

I booked it online through the Accor website.

Ouch ... I would have been chasing that up.

when I do a search I see this:

Clicking points, I see:

I'm looking closely at term 7.2.1 of the T&C's.

Only Eligible Stays booked at an eligible rate enable the Member to benefit from the Programme.

Eligible booking rates include all public, corporate and promotional rates, except for the following:

Rates eligible to redeem points are generally indicated on the Website.

When booking, the Member is given the option to redeem Reward Points at the payment stage if permitted by the location, booking and rate.

I'm 99% certain we got the Accor+ dining discount at a few of the venues at the Banyan Tree Bangkok in last 2024. Unfortunate enhancement
