Lol. I am glad to hear that. I am asking because this is an "Associated Pullman", and I have not come across a similar property named as such.
And I was in Sofitel Sydney when the new Accor Elite benefits was first launched, and Sofitel Sydney was still not on the website for exclusion of Club Lounge; I was flatly denied there and then the exclusion surfaced weeks later.
Do not want such a repeat when I visit Korea. (Also there are some reports that certain Accor properties do not recognise Elite status - like the recent reports on some French properties)
I believe Accor is still facing some teething problems to implement their new policies, and I will try to avoid properties that does not wish to recognise their elites. Glad to hear that this hotel is a good one! (It is very much on my shortlist still! - Just need to confirm my flight schedule before booking!)
