Is there is full listing of Accor brands and how they compare with each other somewhere on FT? I only found a 2012 thread with a brief discussion about Accor having too many brands which are not distinctive enough.

There is a nice post by [MENTION=209030]starflyergold[/MENTION] in the sticky which lists brands in order of luxury, so that is useful to know where a brand stands. I am not sure where such rankings come from (personal opinion or from Accor?) but I realize it's not a precise science nor do I need something very precise anyway. Are there any other differentiating factors in addition to the level of luxury?

For example, Pullman and McGallery are above Grand Mercure but below Sofitel. How do Pullman and McGallery differ?

How about Novotel vs Mercure?

Is So Sofitel seen as the same brand as Sofitel?
