Hopefully it's just being updated.

I just received my Accor Plus card and the flyer that came with it say that Platinum members are entitled to free breakfast! No mention of Asia Pacific only or exclusions. Maybe this is the reason the drop down list on the website is not working. Let's hope so.

As Accor Plus is an Asia Pacific only program, that might explain the omission, though it would (and does) lead to confusion if this were the case.
If this benefit is rolled out worldwide, it would be very welcome, indeed.

We spent a few days in Fairmont Makati in Manila over the holidays. The buffet restaurant Spectrum there gets very busy in the mornings to the point where there sometimes is a long queue just to get in.

Accor Plat status entitled us to have complimentary breakfast at the adjacent Raffles Mirèio a la carte restaurant. What a pleasant experience; it was quiet and unrushed with great service. They have a good selection of different sweet and savoury main courses to choose from as well as a small buffet with fruits, bakery items, cheese etc. I highly recommend to any Plat members staying there.

I am Accorplus Platinum in Australia. Since becoming platinum I notice most rates are “Accor Plus - Complimentary Breakfast” which is great. But there are some hotels that participate in the free platinum breakfast where there is a rate such as a “Members App Offer - 20% off” that is cheaper than the complimentary breakfast rate and doesn’t include breakfast.
The benefits of platinum are simply listed as complimentary breakfast at participating hotels, no mention of needing to book a more expensive rate. If I book the cheaper rate that doesn’t list complimentary breakfast will I get/am I entitled to a free breakfast as a platinum?
thanks

Yes.
I've always got breakfast (except at the occassional place that doesn;t have a restaurant of its own) regardless of the rate I paid.

I'm quite curious why this benefit only applies to Asia Pacific. Is it because there are more lounges in that region, or that labour and/or food is somewhat cheaper? I for one really appreciate breakfast as a benefit; I only wish it weren't a weekends-only benefit for Diamond members. If it were every day, maybe Diamond would be a little more worthwhile.

the only recognized reason is that, outside APAC, Accor has always struggled to have hotels accepting to deliver tangible benefits to top tier customers. This is more prominent in some countries (like France) or in some chains (the mid-scale ones) but at the end, the result is always some semi-good compromises with a lot of exceptions. For breakfast during weekends outside APAC, do not think it is everywhere. There is a long list of exceptions

My guess is that Accor were able to get agreements with hotels in the APAC region that they haven't been able to get in other regions. I remember when free wifi access was being rolled out, it was done pretty much by country, then region. So, makes me think it is more based on local relationships between Accor regionally and their hotels.

I’m trying to do some booking in Asia logged on my “Platinum account” - example : So Bkk. When I look on the different rooms, I can book for the same room, a room with breakfast or a room without breakfast.
As there is an executive lounge which we can have an access with our Platinum status, what will be the difference between a booking with breakfast or without breakfast, except the price.

Goldorak

No need to book a room with BF. It will be free for you either in the lounge or at the main restaurant.

I've recently earned Platinum status with Accor and still learning the nuances of Accor..
Can any elites here share experience if ultra Luxury properties such as Raffles/Banyan Tree offer comp breakfast for Plat/Diamond elites in APac?
I'm toying around with the "comp breakfast" page and notice properties such as Raffles Singapore and Bayan Tree in Bali are conveniently omitted from the participating list..

It's just surprising that Accor buys all these ultra luxury properties, but then they don't participate in the elite program. Then what is the point publicizing these luxury brands under the ALL portfolio?

I believe Raffles as brand did not participate in free breakfast for platinums.

Although some hotels did extend the benefit on their own.

I just wish Accor will be more clear with the list of exceptions for brands not participating.
I tried searching more properties in the link, it seems both Raffles in Cambodia are in the list, which makes this even more confusing..

I never heard about Raffles being excluded as a brand. I think the link is quite clear and helpful to know in advance where we can get breakfast and where we cannot. Banyan Tree Bali is probably not on a list simply because it's no longer an Accor Hotel, rather than being a breakfast issue. Raffles Singapore not being included in the list is a more legitimate concern however.

As a rule, even luxury hotels from Accor should provide breakfast in APAC unless they actively took a role in excluding themselves. That said, some hotels such as a handful of Banyan Trees do not participate in the Accor program at all so we cannot earn points, let alone have breakfast. It essentially makes them independent hotels so for me it means I am no more, no less likely to book there than I would at Four Seasons for example.
