For Accor Plus fans who loved using the membership for local dining, spa days, and casual leisure (no travel required), the rebranded ALL Accor+ Explorer program amplifies these local perks—retaining beloved Accor Plus legacy benefits while adding more venues and exclusive local events. This guide breaks down how to maximize Explorer’s local offerings (from 30% off dining to discounted spa treatments) to make the $229/year membership pay for itself with just 4-5 local outings, no flights or hotels needed.

Core Local Perks: Accor Plus Legacy + Explorer Upgrades

Explorer keeps the Accor Plus local benefits that made the membership a favorite for non-travelers, while fixing gaps like limited venue coverage. Here’s the must-know local value for 2026:

1. 30% Off Local Dining (More Venues + Larger Groups)

• Accor Plus Throwback: Old Accor Plus offered up to 50% off for 2 guests (great for couples, but restrictive for groups/families).
• Explorer Upgrade: Flat 30% off dining + 15% off drinks at 1,600+ Accor hotel restaurants/bars across Asia Pacific (up to 10 guests per table).
• Savings Example: A monthly date night at Sofitel Bangkok’s rooftop restaurant ($180 bill for 2) → 30% off = $54 saved/visit. Over 4 months, that’s $216—nearly covering the $229 membership fee. For a group of 6 (family dinner, $300 bill), savings jump to $90/meal—covering the fee in 3 outings.

2. 25% Off Spa & Wellness (New Benefit for Explorer)

• Accor Plus Gap Filled: Old Accor Plus had limited spa discounts (only 10% off at select properties).
• Explorer Win: 25% off spa treatments at 500+ Accor hotels (e.g., Fairmont’s luxury spas, Novotel’s relaxation packages).
• Local Luxury Example: A 90-minute massage at Pullman Sydney’s spa (regular $150) → 25% off = $37.50 saved. Pair with a post-spa lunch (30% off) for a full day of relaxation—total savings $70+ per outing.

3. Exclusive Local Events & Afternoon Tea Deals

• Accor Plus Legacy Perk: Discounted afternoon tea (carried over to Explorer, now 20% off at luxury brands like Raffles and Fairmont).
• Explorer Upgrade: Member-only local events (wine tastings, chef’s table dinners, holiday markets) with priority booking and exclusive pricing (e.g., $50 off a Christmas gala dinner at Mercure).
• Non-Travel Value: Perfect for locals looking to enjoy luxury experiences without the cost—Explorer turns hotel amenities into accessible leisure options.

Step-by-Step: Redeeming Local Perks (Accor Plus Style)

Former Accor Plus members will find the redemption process familiar, with new tools to find local venues fast. Here’s how to use your Explorer membership locally:

1. Find Eligible Local Venues

• Log into the ALL Accor app/website → Navigate to the “Local Benefits” tab (new for Explorer) → Enable location services to filter venues near you (restaurants, spas, event spaces).
• Pro Tip: Use the “Accor Plus Legacy Venues” filter to find your favorite old Accor Plus spots—all are still eligible, plus new additions.
• Save frequent venues to your “Favorites” list for quick access (avoids re-searching for your go-to restaurant/spa).

2. Redeem Discounts (No Stay Required)

• Dining/Spa: Simply show your Explorer membership card (in the app) to the staff when seating/paying—discounts are applied automatically (no advance booking needed for dining; spa treatments require 24-hour advance booking).
• Events/Afternoon Tea: Book directly via the app’s “Events” tab—select the Explorer member ticket option to unlock exclusive pricing.
• Accor Plus Hack: For large groups (6+ people), call the venue in advance and mention your Explorer membership to reserve a table and confirm the 30% discount (avoids last-minute issues).

3. Earn Points on Local Spending

• Earn 25 Reward Points per $10 spent on dining/spa/events → 1,000 points = $20 off future local or travel spending.
• Bonus: Former Accor Plus members get a one-time 500-point bonus for their first local dining redemption (worth $10).
