This is more a statement than a question though I am interested in how deep loyalty runs. Our main program is Accor but we have some Hilton points and are members of other programs that we rarely use.
In SIN and BKK, though there are plenty of Sofitels, my wife insists on staying at Mandarin Oriental because, well if you have to ask you wouldn't want to stay there.
Our absolute all time favorite Accor property is Sofitel Plaza Hanoi, where we resided for two years and where we visit at least once a year. They always offer us amazing deals such as way below market rate and automatic suite upgrade. We are Le Club Platinum but this goes way beyond those perks.
Sadly, I just found out that the hotel is rebranding to Pan Pacific. We have 25 nights already booked and they would honor the booking. Many of my good friends are the employees there and we will miss them and the great views of Truc Bach Lake.
There is a Sofitel Legend and a really nice M Gallery in the center of town and we also have decent connections with them and have already been offered special rates at both of these hotels.
I had thought of just staying one last time at our old place as I think I'm already qualified for Platinum next year even without this stay, but I wouldn't get points and couldn't use vouchers.
Any thoughts on this?
