With an Accor Plus membership card, you can unlock incredible savings and exclusive perks at over 1,000 luxury Accor Hotels across Asia-Pacific. Members enjoy up to 50% off room rates, substantial dining discounts, and complimentary stays. In this comprehensive guide, we'll explore everything you need to know about maximizing the value of your Accor Plus membership.
What is Accor Plus?
Accor Plus is AccorHotels' premium membership program for the Asia-Pacific region. Let's compare Accor's current membership to help you decide if Accor Plus is right for you:
| Comparison | ALL – Accor Live Limitless | Accor Plus |
|---|---|---|
| Joining cost | Free Registration | Membership fee from 225 USD/year |
| Coverage | Worldwide | Asia Paific |
| Main Benefits | Points accumlation | Complimentary Stay and Dining Discounts |
| Membership | ALL member only | ALL + Accor Plus member |
Accor Plus, established in 1994 and headquartered in Singapore, has operated across the Asia-Pacific region for 30+ years. The program encompasses over 90% of Accor hotels in the region, including prestigious luxury brands such as Sofitel Legend, Fairmont, and MGallery. This membership program delivers exceptional value, particularly at luxury properties in destinations like Australia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore.
Key Benefits of Accor Plus Membership
- Complimentary stays at over 1,000 hotels (number of free nights varies by package)
- Up to 50% off on room rates during special promotions
- Up to 50% dining discount and 15% off on beverages
- Additional 10% savings during major sales
- Automatic upgrade to Accor Silver status
- 12-month membership validity
Accor Plus Membership Fee
There are two packages available: Accor Plus Traveller and Accor Plus Explorer. Both options offer identical benefits, with the only difference being the number of complimentary room nights.
| Package | Price | Complimentary Nights |
|---|---|---|
| Accor Plus Traveller | 225USD | 0 Night |
| Accor Plus Explorer | 295USD or 12,000 ALL points | 1 Night |
I recommend choosing the Accor Plus Explorer package. Its key benefit—the complimentary room night—can be worth over 250USD when used strategically. I'll discuss strategies to maximize this benefit in detail below.
Accor Plus Brands and Participating Regions
The Accor Plus Card provides benefits across the Asia-Pacific region, spanning 20 countries with over 1,000 Accor hotels and 1,400 restaurants.
Let's explore the regions covered by this membership to give you a comprehensive understanding.
The card is valid in Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, French Polynesia (Tahiti), China (Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan only), South Korea, Japan, Mongolia, Thailand, Singapore, Cambodia, Vietnam, Myanmar, Laos, the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, India, the Maldives, and Sri Lanka.
You'll find luxury properties in popular tourist destinations including Tokyo, Osaka, Okinawa, Phuket, Pattaya, Koh Samui, Phu Quoc Island, and Bali.
The coverage is particularly extensive in Australia and New Zealand, with over 200 Accor hotels situated across Sydney, Gold Coast, inland deserts, Queenstown, and Bora Bora. This makes the card especially worthwhile for frequent travelers to Australia or those studying abroad there.

Sofitel Legend, Fairmont, Sofitel Features, Sofitel, MGallery, Mondrian, Pullman, Swissôtel, Angsana, Grand Mercure, Quay West, Sebel, Angsana, Novotel, Mercure, ibis, ibis Styles, and ibis budget. I have personally stayed at several recommended properties and had positive experiences.
Essential Accor Plus Member Benefits
Next, we'll explore the benefits of Accor Plus membership in detail, ranking them from highest to lowest value, and provide our tested guide for maximizing each benefit.
| Member rights | Discount | Additional information |
|---|---|---|
| Free accommodation | One complimentary night annually at any of 1,000+ hotels across Asia Pacific | Valid for one night throughout the year |
| Red Hot Rooms | Monthly special discounts, typically 40-50% off | New offers each month |
| Booking discount | Standard 10% off public rates; up to 40-50% off during promotional periods | Available year-round |

1. Free Accommodation
The free accommodation voucher is undoubtedly the most valuable benefit of Accor Plus membership. Members can choose from over 1,000 hotels across the Asia-Pacific region to redeem their complimentary stay. When redeemed strategically at the right hotel, this benefit alone can be worth the annual membership fee.
When is the Best Time to Redeem Your Accor Plus Free Night?
For maximum value, book during peak periods such as public holidays, weekends, and school holidays during winter and summer. Room rates are typically higher during these periods, making your free night redemption more valuable.
Many popular hotels command rates exceeding 250USD per night. Here are some recommended hotels eligible for Accor Plus free night redemption:
- Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi (One of only five Sofitel Legends worldwide, and the only one available for free night redemption)
- Amatra Villas Nusa Dua Bali – MGallery
- Pullman Phuket Arcadia Naithon Beach Resort
- Novotel rice in Naha, Okinawa, Japanshop

2. Red Hot Rooms
Every month, Accor Plus offers special member-exclusive discounts of 40-50% off at select hotels. These discounted rates are only visible after logging into your Accor Plus membership account.
The first thing I do when planning a trip is check the Red Hot Room offers on the website. These exclusive deals can significantly reduce travel costs, making them my favorite Accor Plus benefit.
How to Book Accor Plus Red Hot Rooms?
- Visit the Accor Plus official website and log in to your Accor Plus membership account.
- Search for your desired travel dates and hotels.
- Book when you see the “Red Hot Rooms” label
Where to Find Red Hot Room Offers?
You can find special offers in the discount section on the Accor Plus official website.
As a website specializing in sharing travel deals, we has a dedicated section to help organize and share the most valuable deals – Accor membership benefits (accommodation and dining discounts), updated monthly.
Red Hot Room Booking Rules
- One membership card allows booking up to 2 rooms simultaneously at the special rate.
- Red Hot Room rates typically don't include breakfast. However, you can use your Accor Plus Card to enjoy a 50% dining discount.
3. More Escape Packages
In addition to Red Hot Room booking discounts, Accor Plus also offers “More Escape” packages. The booking process is the same as for Red Hot Rooms—just look for the “More Escape” label on the rate.
The difference is that while Red Hot Rooms generally only offer room discounts, More Escape packages typically include stays of 2+ nights with breakfast or dinner, and sometimes additional entertainment options. Think of it as an “all-inclusive” offer—perfect for booking an Accor resort hotel for a family staycation.
4. Additional 10% off the Best Available Rate
Members enjoy a guaranteed 10% discount on room bookings.
Since not all hotels offer Red Hot Room deals, so what standard discount do members receive?
According to official policy, members receive a 10% discount off public rates when booking rooms. This means Accor Plus members get access to the lowest rates across all official Accor booking channels. Simply log in to your account when making a reservation to see the member discount.
Book Early During Major Promotions for Maximum Savings
Accor Hotels runs 3 to 4 major promotions annually, with each lasting about 2 weeks. Based on previous sales, approximately 80% of Accor hotels nationwide participate, offering 30-40% discounts with breakfast included.
During these annual sales, Accor Plus members enjoy an additional 10% discount on top of the promotional rates of 60-70% off. This means Accor Plus members can secure rooms at 40-50% off regular rates. Each member can book up to two discounted rooms.
5. Up to 50% Off on Dining
The Accor Plus Card offers half-price dining for two people and up to 50% off for larger groups at over 1,400 hotel restaurants across Asia-Pacific. Additionally, members enjoy a 15% discount on drinks at hotel lobbies and bars.
Here's how dining discounts work for Accor Plus members:
The official dining discount structure is 25% off for one person, 50% off for two people, 33% off for three people, and 25% off for four people.
Let's break this down simply:
When dining alone, you get 25% off.
For groups of two or more, the member dines free while others pay full price.
Another way to calculate: divide 100 by the number of diners to get your discount percentage. For example, with 4 people dining, it's 100/4=25, meaning a 25% discount on the total bill.
This benefit is even more valuable if you frequently visit Australia or New Zealand. Multiple Accor Plus cards can be used at one table. For instance, if four people are dining and two have membership cards, the final bill will be half price.
Guide to Using Accor Plus Dining Benefits
- The key tip: You can earn points for dining at Accor Hotels restaurants. Simply show your Accor Plus card when settling the bill and request points from the staff.
- You can enjoy discounts at hotel restaurants even when not staying at the hotel.
- The dining discounts are unlimited throughout your membership year.
- Beyond regular member discounts, restaurants offer additional monthly promotions for Accor Plus members. For example, a meal for three might normally get 25% off, but during promotions, it could be 50% off. Find these promotions in Accor's official account posts or check Accor's latest membership offers (accommodation and dining discounts).
- Dining discounts apply to breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, and dinner – essentially whenever the restaurant is open.
- Typically, taxes and fees are included in the discount, but service charges usually aren't. It's recommended to confirm with the restaurant before dining.
- Dining benefits have blackout dates each year, such as Christmas, Valentine's Day. Discounts apply normally on other days.
- Not all hotel restaurants participate. Only self-operated restaurants offer discounts. Some hotels outsource their restaurants, where the card cannot be used. It's recommended to make reservations and verify discount availability by searching the hotel on the official website or calling the front desk.
- Accor Plus is a personal card. Some hotels may request ID verification when using dining discounts. To avoid embarrassment, it's recommended not to lend your card to others.
How to Use Accor Plus Dining Discounts?
Before dining, it's recommended to call the restaurant to make a reservation and confirm Accor Plus discount availability.
When dining, simply show your Accor Plus membership card for the discount. Every 1 euro spent equals 1 reward point. Staff often record or photograph membership card numbers. Don't forget to remind them to add dining points to your membership card.
Currently, most people use electronic cards. You can directly log into the Accor ALL app, click on your current membership points on the homepage, and you'll see your Accor Plus electronic card.
6. Automatic Upgrade to ALL – Accor Live Limitless Silver Status
When you become an Accor Plus member, you automatically receive Silver status in Accor Live Limitless (ALL), giving you membership benefits in both programs.
What is ALL – Accor Live Limitless membership?
ALL – Accor Live Limitless is a free membership program where you earn Status and Points (SNP) through stays at Accor hotels worldwide.
How to use Accor points?
Accor's straightforward points system lets you redeem points directly at hotels for stays or dining. Every 2,000 reward points equals €40.
For example, at checkout, simply ask the front desk to deduct 2,000 points from your account to reduce your room charge by €40.
How to earn Accor points?
You earn points for every €10 spent on eligible charges posted to your room, with earning rates varying by membership tier.
Accor frequently runs points promotions. For instance, staying three times during a promotion period might earn you 6,000 bonus points, worth about €120.

The difference and relationship between Accor Plus and Accor ALL
When you become an Accor Plus member, you automatically receive Accor ALL Silver status. This gives you both Accor Plus benefits and Silver tier privileges. Non-Accor Plus members need to complete 10 qualifying nights to reach Silver status.
What benefits do you get with Accor Hotel Silver status?
First, while Accor Plus benefits are limited to Asia-Pacific hotels, Accor Silver status benefits apply to all 3,960 Accor hotels across 110 countries.
Additionally, Silver members enjoy these benefits:
- Welcome drinks, typically non-alcoholic beverages redeemable at the hotel lobby bar.
- Late checkout until 2 p.m., subject to availability and must be requested.
- Room upgrades, while not guaranteed, are often possible when requested during booking or check-in.
Of course, higher membership tiers offer enhanced benefits. You can view specific membership levels and benefits at AccorHotels Member Guide.
Can Accor Plus be linked to an existing Accor ALL account?
Yes, simply provide your AccorHotels account number when joining or renewing, or use the same email address. Your original ALL card number will become your Accor Plus card number.
If I am already an AccorHotels Silver member or higher, will I be downgraded?
No, if you already hold Gold, Platinum, or Diamond status, linking to Accor Plus will not affect your tier level. You'll retain your existing status while gaining additional Accor Plus benefits.
After my ALL points expire, can I maintain my status with the Accor Plus Card?
If your Accor Plus membership expires, your status will be assessed according to AccorHotels terms and conditions.
If you don't renew your Accor Plus card upon expiration, you'll be assigned a new ALL membership number, and your points will transfer to the ALL membership card.
7. Additional Accor Plus Benefits
Accor Plus members can enjoy additional discounts including 15% off spa treatments, 15% off fitness club memberships, 20% off hotel laundry and ironing services, and 20% off business center services at Accor hotels.
Since these discounts vary by hotel, it's recommended to call ahead and confirm availability before making reservations.
Is Accor Plus Membership Worth It?
The Accor Plus Card offers excellent value even if you only travel once per year, especially the Accor Plus Explorer package which includes one complimentary night stay.
For a typical three-day overseas trip, using your free night at a luxury five-star hotel during peak periods can save you over 250USD. You can save an additional 100USD by booking Red Hot Rooms for two nights. Even dining at hotel restaurants just twice during your stay can save around 50USD.
Throughout the year, if you dine at Accor hotels just 10 times with another person, the half-price dining benefit saves about 10USD per meal, totaling 100USD in savings.
You can save approximately another 150USD by booking during Accor's major sales offering 40-50% discounts.
The membership particularly offers great value when booking hotels in destinations with higher room rates like Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Macau, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, or luxury resorts in Bali, Koh Samui, Maldives, and Pattaya. Between the dining discounts, complimentary night, and Red Hot Room rates, a single overseas trip can justify the annual membership fee.
Accor Plus Pricing Guide
Accor Plus memberships are available throughout the Asia-Pacific region, with prices varying by country. Should you purchase from a country with lower membership fees? My recommendation is NO.
- If you purchase an Accor Plus card from another country, you'll need to contact that country's customer service for any issues, such as points adjustments or event registration.
- To purchase cards from other countries, you'll need to use a VPN to change your IP address to that country, otherwise you won't be able to access the purchase page.

▼Compare Prices Across Various Channels ▼
As I often recommend, if you're reserving a room at an international hotel chain like Accor or Marriott, it's best to book as a loyalty program member to get the best deals and enjoy exclusive benefits.
However, it's always wise to check several booking channels before making a reservation.

For example, Tripadvisor is a convenient way to check the same hotel's price on different channels. Besides having extensive traveler comments, Tripadvisor is also an excellent platform for comparing prices.
Finally, Online Travel Agents (OTA) like Agoda and Trip can be good options. They may offer vacation packages similar to Accor Plus's “More Escape” or flight-plus-stay travel packages. So, it's worth checking these before making your reservation.
