Dollar for Dollar, the breakfasts in Europe for example are more expensive than in Asia. Someone needs to foot the bill. Though you can argue that there is upside to retaining a Diamond member by offering him/her free Breakfast daily, you need to first reason with a Novotel owner in the middle of nowhere in France that it is the right thing to do.
I have stayed at that Novotel ....

Thanks.
It's actually my favourite hotel chain in these parts. Here in New Zealand, Sofitel is among the best without going for the boutique $5000 a night kind.
I travel a lot in Asia and we're well served there and in Australia.
I'm in Sri Lanka next year and depressed to find none there though.
Anyhow, enough Diamond. How do I get the invitation only special status tier?!

Hi All,
Just found this forum whilst desperately trying to find the benefits for Diamond Status next year (could not quite believe it was only free weekend breakfast and a gold gift). I am currently Platinum but have around 34000 status points this year and will probably get too around 45000 by the end of the year so will comfortably qualify for Diamond. My question is even with Platinum I find I only get a room upgrade 50% of the time. I mostly travel in Europe so don't have the variety and stature of hotels in APAC but I rarely feel like I have been upgraded or treated any differently. Do you generally ask for an upgrade at booking in the comments section or just rely on them noticing you are Platinum? And if they have not upgraded you do you ask at check in? I do neither and wonder if I should be to get the small benefits I should be by after spending so much with ACCOR.
Cheers

I believe the rate is higher than 50% but then again most of my stays were in asia pacific region.
Depends on the purpose of the stay, I wont ask for 1 night stay but longer stay I do ask.
the hotel always claim they full and i cant be bothered to push more.
does platinums get 2 apples? 🤣
