I suggest you take time to better read and digest the posts that FTers take effort to post. If you had done you would see that earlier posters including me refer to both their award and paid experiences if applicable.
Your stay report is valid for award nights but not for paid nights which is all I pointed out I have both paid and award experience at CP Bangkok and mentioned the current different treatment between the two types paid & award. I said the that award nights no longer get club lounge based on comments but that paid nights could still get one club lounge even after they stopped giving club on award nights during 2014. I tend to pay rather than use points here. |
Sorry, I just recalled that I have been given lounge access at LAX on an award stay.

Cleaned up the Wiki and 1st post to make this thread more useful. Hopefully this thread can identify which CPs consistently provide food & bev benefits for elites and what those benefits look like. Data points for *nicer* Holiday Inns are also welcome (eg. Hong Kong Golden Mile, Helsinki Downtown, Abu Dhabi etc.).
Similar to the Hilton breakfast thread ^ |

I was given access in Seattle when only a Gold.
I've only stayed at CP LAX once, around 2011, and I seem to recall I got a breakfast voucher only for me as the Plat, but nothing for MrsNWIFlyer - and even that might have been included in the corporate rate anyway. CP in Copenhagen is excellent - I got lounge access and a couple of other beanies in June, obviously before the introduction of the new level, although whether this might be restricted to Spire only in the future remains to be seen. As I won't be staying there before I reach the qualifying criteria, someone else will have to find out! |

Not that anyone actually will ever get to the CP in Billings, Montana, but,
Booked points room for 25k points. Upgraded online 2 days before to an 'executive' room. There is a lounge with some food items and beer/ wine. Not much really. Headed out to the micro breweries and Irish pubs within a block or two. Will try breakfast in the lounge in the morning. |
As Platinum Ambassador:
CP London Kensington: Upgrade to 2-level suite if you e-mail in advance. Club lounge access consistently denied, though available for an upcharge. CP Orlando Universal: Upgrade to suite and club lounge access. |

As a Plat member, was at CP HK East last X'mas and this summer on Points. Both times I get breakfast for one, either myself or my wife can take this breakfast, but no lounge access or and no club floor room. One welcome drink per guest in the room, in my case 3.

Staying at CP London Ealing next week, booked into a standard room (4 nights on points + 1 paid). What's your recent experience with getting club lounge access when staying in a standard room? I'm a Spire Amb member. Cheers!

On checking in at C.P. Changi received usual welcome letter with usual Platinum benefits only this time this was included.
"Receive upgrade to Club room and full Club benefits when you book a premier room." Stayed on points but paid for Club access. Will be back on paid stay in Premier room next week so hopefully will be upgraded as per letter. |

Stayed at the above hotel in June 2016. Paid for the room, not an award night.
