18:00-20:00 evening canapés (incl. alcohol)

Evening cocktails and canapes with extensive selection of food (including hot food) and alcohol 5:30pm to 7:30pm. Shower services available for early departure/late arrival. There are actually 3 large rooms that make up the club including an entrance so always a lot of space and natural light. - Sydney Darling Harbour

- Xi An on Renimin Square - nice and cosy lounge
- Berlin Kurfürstendamm (opened 02/2014) -Small lounge, limits access at busy times to club rooms only
- Forebase Chongqing (26th floor, ok views, good food)
- Chengdu (Wanda/Taihe) (23rd floor, nice river-views, ok-ish food)
- Beijing (Wanda) nice, spacious lounge, food offerings rather strange though (and sometimes dried out)

Sofitel Budapest Chain Bridge
One of the rare lounges in a European Sofitel.
The lounge is on the top floor, is quite nice with a splendid view on the Danube river, and Buda hills. Breakfast is until 10 am (selection of usual bakeries, bread and cold items like cold cuts, cheese and smoked salmon).
Free evening snacks (nice selection) and cocktails (sparkling wine, average red and white Hungarian wines) is from 5 to 8 pm.
Nice staff. You can check-in and out from the lounge.
Pictures of the evening selection :
Beautiful view from the lounge :
If Accor could implement such lounges in more Sofitel/Pullman in Europe, it would be really great.

Australian Sofitels have perfectly pleasant lounges, I'm told. A shame that most of us have only seen them from the outside.

I haven't seen many photos posted of the lounge at the Heathrow Sofitel so I thought I would post a few from my recent visit:-
The lounge is large and comfortable and offers a complimentary breakfast, afternoon tea and evening drinks/canapes.
Breakfast was good with a selection of cold and hot food.
The Afternoon Tea selection was limited but very nice (scones and cakes, no sandwiches).
The selection of drinks in the evening was quite good with at least 2 brands of beer and several different spirits on offer. There were some cold canapes and also some hot samosas and chicken.
At other times only tea/coffee and soft drinks were available. It would have been nice to have some basic snacks.
The lounge staff were very attentive and helpful.
There are a few more photos and a review of my stay on my blog if anyone is interested.

The Sofitel Dubai Downtown also has a Club Millesime on the ground floor. Had breakfast, afternoon tea from 3-5 and Drinks from 6-8. It's on the ground floor behind reception.
A fairly average lounge. Breakfast is very basic and not a lot of variety. Afternoon tea is probably the best - a good selection of High Tea goods. Evening drinks and canapés is ok although the food is limited (essentially cheese and nuts) and if you have kids, they're not allowed in (think its the law).

Sofitel Manila
Going to be at the Sofitel Manila for 3 nights next month... Accor Platinum so will have access to the lounge, would appreciate feedback about the lounge (e.g. opening times, etc) and also if breakfast can be had in the main restaurant or only at the lounge...?

Service is great: very attentive and they call customers, at least us, by name. Some of the staff have even remembered us when we have returned to the hotel.
One can have breakfast either in the lounge or Spiral restaurant on ground floor. Breakfast selection in the lounge is good enough but I recommend to try the Spriral at least in one morning. It’s amazing!
Breakfast is served from 6am to 10am in the lounge and from 6am to 10:30am in the Spiral. Afternoon snack is from 2:30pm to 4:30pm and wine tasting from 5pm to 7pm.
In the evening, they serve a decent buffet and small individual hot food to table. Enjoy your stay, and don’t forget to try their freshly squeezed mango juice.

Hi, I appreciate that its not on the list (surely it can't be all of them) but does anyone know if the SOFITEL HAMBURG ALTER WALL HOTEL has an executive lounge ?
Also, what other Platinum perks have people received from them ?
Cheers.
