Novotel: Boring standard hotel cos half of its name is just hotel
Swissotel: Premium boring standard hotel cos Swiss means high quality
Pullman: Premium hotel for men cos it has man in the name
Sofitel: Premium hotel for women cos it has a woman's name in it
Raffles: Very expensive hotel cos raffle is a game about money
I know for alipay, wechat....you can and should use your primary foreign number because it doesn't hurt, receiving sms in china is free for login and you'd want to access them back home.
So what app should you only create an account with a chinese number? Like I know meituan driver may need to call you so that would be one.
⭐️: No private bathroom.
⭐️⭐️: No hook in the bathroom to hang my toiletry bag.
⭐️⭐️⭐️: The hook is behind the door or above the toilet.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: The hook is on a spacious wall.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: There's so much countertop space I can just lay everything out without being too close to the sink and risk getting wet and I don't even need half of them cos they are already provided
Want to see what options there are for Mondrian gold coast if anyone can help me out
I once stayed at an ibis, the resturant staff was unfamiliar with welcome drinks, I guess people come here because it's the only hotel, not because it's accor, anyway they talked and decided we can just get anything on the menu including cocktails, which I've barely seen even at 5 stars and amounted to a decent chunk of the room cost.
I just found this out, many accor hotels in china, mostly novotel/mercure and below are operated by huazhu, but this isn't your typical brand and franchisee operator dynamic, huazhu is its own huge hotel chain with its own booking and reward system which they run simultanously on the accor hotels they operate. I know banyan tree has its own system as well but on huazhu's scale it's like if hilton and accor were running hotels together with both reward programs.
Also if you come across a permenantly greyed out hotel in china on accor's booking, mostly around ibis level, it means huazhu has completely taken over and only sells booking on their end, so basically from a customer's perspective that hotel has nothing to do with accor anymore.
Is room upgrade determined at check in? People say it's best to ask so I assume it is, but how can that work with welcome amenity which I heard is supposed to be in the room, when they don't even know which room you'll be in until you check in?
Shouldn't it be 30 explorer +30 from highest china card for 60 platinum?
All the posts i come across say 30+20 for some reason. Apparently there is some sort of 50 cap? but I can't find it written anywhere except offhand comments
