As for the Le Grand, this RA still has free Club access and full mini-bar. And he only orders 2 ingredients in his Club omelet.

It depends who you ask. IC sent us all brochures that state that RA's are entitle to a Club room when available. At every IC that I have stayed at that has a Club, they have honored this. But several other Flyertalkers say they have been denied. YMMV.

I think it depends on where you stay and what room type you booked. I haven't had any problems getting club access in Paris, but I can't imagine that waving the RA brochure at the front desk people at, say, the IC HK yields a club room. Does it for you, stimpy?

I always book the lowest cost room and get Club. But I don't think I have stayed at the IC HKG since that brochure was issued. You are right that IC HKG is the last place I would expect to get good RA treatment.

Had another nice stay here recently- I really like this hotel and the location. Booked a deluxe room for two nights through Virtuoso, and a third night with the free nights promo. Received a junior suite for all three nights, with club access for the first two (stated as such.) (I'm pretty sure I could have gotten into the club the third day but we had other plans for dinner and an early departure.)
I will say they have pared back the club offerings considerably- not just the hours but also rationing the wine as in putting out half full bottles (more than once so not an anomoly), and 5 minutes before closing time recorking and putting the empty bottle I had taken out of the ice back into the ice
. But still pleasant people and a nice stay.

Used my free nights for my stay in Dec.
Any experiences with club access and upgrade on a free stay?
And what are these brochures with club access?

The brochures were sent out to all RA's back when the "new" program started.
