What made me think of this is there was a report on a European AC property that seemed to go a bit above & beyond, so it made me wonder what the other Euro-based AC hotels are doing & what any of the US-based Autograph Collection properties are doing.

I'll also be doing a separate thread on the European AC properties (once I figure out where they all are!) asking for input.

AFAIK, there is no lounge at Autograph Collections, so basically all we can expect is a cont'l brekkie Mon-Fri & free i-net. But maybe there are some out there that might do more, such as offer hot brekkie or slight upcharge to hot brekkie instead of just cont'l, a drink or appetizer coupon, that type of thing, or even less than expected. For example, I read on the Cosmopolitan thread that it used to be free brekkie per day, but is now 2 per stay (something like that). Or it might be a cont'l brekkie for 1 per room vs. 2 per room at dif properties, which I think I also read.

So thought it might be good for people to know & there aren't that many Autograph hotels. Rather than bump up 23 threads, I figured I'd put them all here & ask people to report on what any of them do (or don't do) & the date you know the information was valid. After a while I'll add them to the exec lounge sticky & future updates should either go in that or in the property thread - or both.

So if you have any info on the properties below, please post.

Well, I can report right away that apparently, as part of their recent renovations, the Algonquin did add a lounge - and as I will be there in exactly 2 weeks, I shall be able to check it out and write a full report.

I think a separate thread on Autograph properties is an excellent idea, as they are unique properties and thus have differing facilities.

Michigan:
Dearborn / The Henry, Autograph Collection

This property has a lounge on the concierge level. In fact, the elevators open right into the lounge so it's more like a lobby than a controlled-access lounge. Being such, soft drinks, coffee, tea, water and light snacks were available throughout the evening and into the next morning. Light snacks consisted of cookies, chips, granola bars, candy, cereal, etc. I was only there overnight (I think Friday night through Saturday morning) so I didn't see if there were more substantial food offerings during peak times.

Atlanta / Glenn Hotel, Autograph Collection

Free hot breakfast during the week both times I was there last year. Doubt that changed.

Just wanted to say "thanks" Sharon for all of your hard work in maintaining these threads. I hope you know it doesn't go unnoticed. I use them frequently.

* Please do a 'trip report' after you Algonquin stay. It'd be much appreciated, as the Algonquin comes up quite a bit when people are looking at NYC.

* Right now I'm asking for reports on lounge/breakfast in this thread rather than creating 23 new ones or searching/pulling up existing threads, primarily because it's less work for me.

The intent, however, is to gather the info here on the properties & then add them to the existing executive loung sticky.

It would be nice, if people stay at Autograph Collections, to either pull up an existing thread & update it w/ their 'trip reports' or start a new thread specific to individual locations, so search will find them faster.

This confused me a bit (blonde moment) so I went to the hotel's website. It says there is a lounge, which you noted. Website says it's open Mon morning through Friday morning. And - (don't tell Marriott since it's domestic) free complimentary cocktails.

Thanks - I'll note it.

Thanks. And thanks to all of you. I couldn't maintain the list if you all didn't supply the info.

Cheers.

* I've updated the sticky to reflect there's a lounge open M-F. If someone stays here over a weekend, hopefully they'll report back if brekkie coupons are offered to elites.

* If your stay encompasses a weekend, please report back if the lounge is open. If it's not, do they provide brekkie coupons. If not, is it key accessible for soft drinks; does it have an i-net terminal or free wifi. If your stay doesn't encompass a weekend, can you ask them anyway & report back? Thx.

Again, if someone has stayed here recently, please report on whether breakfast is offered on the weekend.

Thx all! Hopefully we'll get some reports on the other properties.

Cheers.

SkiAdcock

from recent property threads & have updated the exec lounge sticky w/ this, as well as the input you folk provided in this thread:

* Las Vegas / The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, Autograph Collection; Considered a resort, so no breakfast; Plat arrival gift is choice of a brunch for two at Wicked Spoon, 500 Marriott Rewards points or a special arrival amenity curated just for you (ie, gourmet popcorn)

* Taos / El Monte Segrado, Autograph Collection; NO LOUNGE; Breakfast vouchers are $10 per room Weekday only

Cheers.

Just realized there's an Autograph Collection property in Hungary & Italy, so if anyone has input on those, I've added it to the list seeking info.

Cheers.

According to Marriott's website there are 36 AC hotels worldwide. I sent you a PM on how to find them.

SkiAdcock

Ok, turns out Spain has a few too. Are there any other countries that have Autograph Collection proerties that I should list?

Many thanks to hhoope01; he just PM'd me how to check on them in multiple countries!

I'll update the list in post # 1 of the ones I don't have listed yet.

Cheers.

Using such an abbreviation for Autograph Collection is extremely confusing…

SkiAdcock

Well the good news is that I typed out Autograph Collection in all the properties I've listed above & will do so in the exec lounge sticky , so now just need updates on those properties.

Cheers.

Stayed at the Hotel Duval in Tallahassee last September. No lounge but they did give me ONE coffee and pastry coupon for each morning even though there were three of us staying. With that said the staff was exceptional.

SkiAdcock

Was that during the week or weekend - ie, were the coupons provided on the weekend as well?

Cheers.
