Was looking to book the Sofitel Melbourne for a weekend in June and then saw this Hyde Melbourne Place in Russell St. at a comparable rate.
Has anyone stayed there yet and are the Accor Plus benefits applied for dinning?

Property: Sofitel Melbourne on Collins
Status: platinum with Accor plus
Room booked: junior suite using SNU
Room upgraded/type: yes, to prestige suite
Free internet: Yes
Free breakfast: yes, in lounge
Early check in/late out: Not required
Welcome drink: yes
Welcome gift: yes, little box of biscuits
Recommend: yes, if platinum or above

I really enjoyed my stay at the Sofitel. I think the hotel must have been quiet during my stay, as there were very few people in the lounge.

Loved the lounge, it was comfortable, with good food and service. The canapés provided during my stay were pork buns, corn fritters and felafel, with a lovely cold buffet.

Welcome gift was underwhelming, but I would Prefer an upgrade over a gift any day!

Would definitely stay again, although at the price point I may not if I didn’t have lounge access as that was a real bonus.
