How does Accor treat you as an Elite guest?

[Highway23]

A word of warning - the lower category rooms are TINY - 14sqm if I recall correctly.

Would highly recommend at least a mid category if you can.

Agreed - from memory there was also no cupboard/wardrobe in the room, and no iron or board. Instead you had a (very artistic) metal frame to hang clothes, and a steamer.

Stayed two nights at Sofitel Sydney Wentworth over the weekend. I have seen so many good post-reno reviews, but I thought it was nice without being outstanding.

LOVED the Club Millesime. It had a great vibe, good food and drinks, and is a visually pleasant space. 10/10 on that.

I liked the masculine feel of my room, although was disappointed in no upgrade. No biggie though. No turn down on the first night which I queried the next morning, to be told it occurs by request only.

Good selection for welcome drinks, and the hotel is in a great location.

What disappointed me a little was that I told the hotel in advance that I was there to celebrate my (primary aged) daughter’s birthday. I asked if they could maybe acknowledge her in the welcome card - I didn’t expect anything beyond that. No welcome card existed, and no recognition at all of her birthday. Again, it’s not a huge deal but it’s not what I hoped for.

Next Sydney trip (November) I’m trying Hotel Morris for the first time.

Good to hear that the new lounge has improved on the old one.

Darned amazing chocolate mousse cake in the lounge today. Trust me to forget a photo of that though.

Keen to see the spread for canapes... and if they have any cognac left after I am done tonight...

Any recent experiences with Novotel Sydney Brighton Beach?

Reviews on AFF and elsewhere haven't been very good - but they all appear to be from before the renovation.

For context we need to be in SYD on the weekend of 27/28Feb which is Mardi Gras. Rates at most places are are off the chart.

Another option is the Airport Pullman - but I see that's been pretty poor recently.

I'm open to other suggestions, including non-Accor options.

I have found the Pullman at SYD to be - only real issue for Plat./Diam. is the communal happy hour bench. Snack food is fine.
