As always very pleasant stay and was upgraded to a nice suite and granted full club access. While the rate I book does have breakfast and internet included I found the club still very good with some free laundry / pressing allowance and a really good dinner selection (salad, great antipasti, seared tuna, cold cuts, cheese, some hot indo specialties, fruits, dessert, etc. ). This is only granted on paid stays though, on awards you don't get it officially (I managed as a very frequent guest on PBs though).

Unfortunatly my report seems to be more or less confirmed: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/20215078-post172.html
What do you mean (1)? Is that single category upgrade?

I was told that they no longer are including club access for RA's on paid stays. This was to fall inline with London ect. Just stayed here on the 2/10.....
This was after a lengthy discussion with the Club attendant.

Updated through last post. Thanks to all.
But sad to see many (Seoul and Madrid) getting downgrades.

Still to be confirmed, but the choice between Club and Suite in Bangkok seems to be reduced
to Executive Room now.
to Executive Room now.

My next stay is only coming in two month (but with a or b for sure not in the IC), so someones else input is necessary.

I gave my RA voucher to my fiancée in the hopes that she too would get a voucher to extend me another year. Looking through her packet that she got this week, I don't recall any mention of club benefits being listed. It simply mentioned upgrade to an Executive Room or suite.

I am in the lounge at Paris Le Grand right now.
We are here using points the last night and I was explicitly told at check in that we had club access that day as well.

Correct, club access is not a published benefit, but some hotels do give RAs complimentary access and so this thread was made to keep track of who currently does and doesn't give access.
