How does Accor treat you as an Elite guest?

Property: The Como Melbourne
Status: Accor+ Platinum
Room booked: Superior Room
Room upgraded/type: Yes. Loft Suite (Gem)
Rate: RHR ~200
Free internet: Yes
Free breakfast. Yes x 2 in the Brasserie, ala cart anything off the menu
Early check in/late out: not required
Welcome drink: No. Or perhaps I misunderstood, app notes welcome drink provided at checkin, I did not ask as not required was heading out til late.
Welcome gift: Vivo Shiraz and small bag of cookies.
Recommended: Yes. Though it’s heavily influenced by upgrade.

The location suited for an event I was attending and combining a night away with Mrs Mort. I was very happy with the stay, the upgrade was very generous from lowest to highest category. Staff were friendly and helpful.

The room was 2 levels with its own sauna and spa, just a pity it did not get used as we had other commitments.

Breakfast was nice, though the dining space was used as a corridor by the West Coast Eagles who were staying and they were noisy buggers 😀 going back and forth.

Here are a bunch of pictures, yes there are 2 separate bathrooms one off the main bedroom and another in the loft with sauna and spa

What you heard was them crying at their inability to win a game :( I say this as a suffering WCE supporter.
