Great to hear, although I find Accor's management spends far too little time multiplying the number of their high-end brands, vs. e.g. ensuring uniform standards or improving coverage (seems like they can even poach a property off Marwood!)...

So go back to my first point, If you cannot earn and enjoy LCAH in OE, so why it is matter that OE is part of Accor?

Hopefully the status of Le Club participation will be adjusted once the first hotel opens and the brand is officially (re)launched. Otherwise you're right, if I had a choice between a participating hotel and a non-participating hotel, there's a very low chance I'm going to the non-participating one.

If a hotel is not participating, then it's essentially the same as staying in an independent hotel XYZ. While I might stay in such hotel if I hear that it's very good, and if there are not a lot of decent alternatives in that town, but in Bangkok given the choices available there is not a snowball's chance in hell that I will stay in any kind of non-participating hotel, Accor or whatever other brand.
