15:00-16:30 afternoon tea
18:00-20:00 evening canapés (incl. alcohol)
- Gatwick
- Brisbane
- Melbourne on Collins -- NOW granting access as a Platinum benefit
- Sydney Wentworth (Australia)

Continental+ breakfast served 6:30am-10:30am daily (extended to 11am on weekends and public holidays). All day refreshments. Afternoon tea with excellent desserts daily from 2:30pm to 4:30pm. 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
- Hyland Shanghai - great views of Najing Road. Limited evening canapes.
- 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)
- Hangzhou Westlake - lovely views of westlake, adequate little snacks in the evening (definitely not replacing dinner.), small but nice breakfast buffet in the morning -> egg dishes ON REQUEST (but not actively offered)

Sofitel Nusa Dua Bali.
Recently (soft) opened on Dec 22. Stayed there Jan 3.
Book regular room, got Club access, temporarily located in the lobby.
Afternoon tea, and evening cocktail.
Breakfast is at the restaurant.
None of the suites are open yet, and only some rooms are open.
Spa and fitness center not open yet. Swimming pools do open though.
There's a lot of confusion whether i got the club benefit during breakfast and when i tried to access the lounge, even though it's confirmed during check-in.
All in all, an okay stay. Could be better.

Yes, we did get Club access (due to being Platinum).
During check-in, they said I could take the breakfast in their restaurant.
But the next day during breakfast, the restaurant said I didn't get Club access, therefore I need to pay the bill.
In the end, they removed the breakfast charge after checking with the front-desk, that I was indeed had lounge benefit.
Their excuse was the initial upgrade was not properly applied to my account.

Yep, no lounge at Sofitel Auckland Viaduct Harbour, although I've stayed there a few times and always receive a drink voucher, complimentary bottle of water and/or chocolates.

Sofitel Berlin Kurfürstendamm
I added the Sofitel Berlin Kurfürstendamm, which just opened its doors in 02/2014. This Sofitel is Berlin's 2nd Sofitel and had formerly been a Concorde hotel.
They grant Plats Lounge access and I will report after my stay at the beginning of April.

It's been nearly 6 months since you promised to get back to us. Will you ever do so?
