‘Chosen’ hotels for Accor in NZ
Travellers to New Zealand looking to live the high life can get more value from their stay thanks to a new initiative chock full of inclusions and benefits launched by AccorHotels.
The MyResorts programme launched last week in over 100 resorts across Asia Pacific, extending from private villas designed for romance to sprawling beachside resorts for family fun.
For New Zealand, it’s the four AccorHotels properties in ever popular Queenstown that fit the bill. Hotel St Moritz, Sofitel Queenstown, the Novotel Queenstown Lakeside and Mercure Queenstown Resort are the only hotels in the New Zealand network to have been included in the programme.
The new benefits are designed to make travel dreams come true for travellers at more than 100 destinations across Asia Pacific. Exclusive to members of the Le Club AccorHotels loyalty programme, MyResorts is aimed at giving guests more whenever they holiday.
It includes a comprehensive suite of benefits including MyGlass, My Kids, My Connect, My Host and more, with a range of inclusions and rewards – some free, some for a nominal fee – that will ensure travellers get the best value for their money and experience their destination in style.
One of the signature elements of the program is My Glass, where for a small fee guests can enjoy unlimited soft drinks, juice and water all day long and two hours of free-flow house wine and beer (even cocktails in some resorts).
Families will especially appreciate the MyKids offer, which for a set fee includes everything you need to ensure the kids have a fun stay including a welcome gift, kids’ meals and drinks all day long, a surprise treat each day, free in-room children’s movies and free activities at the Kids Club.
The activities on offer at the Kids Clubs have also been enhanced to include more local arts and crafts, treasure hunts, nature trails and things like tree planting, where children can learn about the environment and get a certificate of ownership for their tree. They can even come back to see how it grows over the years.
“We know that travellers are increasingly looking to have more exclusive experiences and get more for their money when they travel,” senior VP loyalty and guest experience Javier Cedillo-Espin said.
“MyResorts is our way of recognising and rewarding our loyalty members and ensuring their experience is absolutely the best possible, thanks to a full range of meaningful and tangible benefits.”
Depending on their status level, there are other inclusions such as premium high-speed wifi for as many devices as they like (including for family members), early check-in and late check-out, upgrades for gold and platinum members, a dedicated MyHost to take care of all arrangements during their stay and, for platinum members, the ability to extend their privileges to a family member or friend staying at the same resort.
Le Club AccorHotels is free to join and includes more than 2700 participating hotels worldwide in 92 countries across the Sofitel, Pullman, MGallery, The Sebel, Novotel, Mercure, Adagio, ibis, ibis Styles and Thalassa Sea & Spa brands.
Benefits include a VIP welcome on arrival, exclusive offers throughout the year, advance access to discounts of up to 50% several times a year, as well as a range of exclusive private events such as concerts, sporting shows, celebrity events and more. Best of all, if you stay with AccorHotels just once a year your points will never expire.
Le Club AccorHotels was named the Best Hotel Loyalty Programme for 2015 in the prestigious Freddie Awards for Asia Pacific/Oceania/Middle East/Europe and Africa and also was voted as having the best hotel loyalty programme promotion for the year.
