[Hotel Review] Pavilion Hotel Kuala Lumpur Managed by Banyan Tree

On By Satu KosongIn Accor, Banyan Tree, Executive Club Lounge, Holiday, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia1 Comment

I kind of regret picking this hotel over JW Marriott, Sigh.

If only I’d known I would be Platinum Elite with Bonvoy at the time of my stay. And thanks to my itchy fingers, I wanted to try somewhere else other than Westin which I’ve stayed for the past 2 trips. And I didn’t quite get around to booking JW before prices went up from MYR630 to MYR700.

I mean, how bad can a Banyan Tree be right.

This trip would prove me wrong unfortunately.

[Hotel Review] Mercure Singapore on Stevens

I finally managed to redeem my 2nd Accor Plus Stay Plus benefit!

Despite already experiencing Novotel Singapore on Stevens in April (my post here), I decided to redeem it at the same premise bearing both properties as it is still one of the newer Accor properties which I’ve never stayed at which offers a Club Lounge. Well, actually also because it is one of the more available redemptions at last minute notice (1 week!). I’m not complaining.

[Hotel Review] Ibis Styles Batam Nagoya

I’ve always felt abit iffy about going to Batam again after my 2015 trip as most of the hotels there are old and icky. I still shudder thinking about my last choice of hotel there.

I was stoked to see the announcement of this new Accor property in 2017 and figured one day I should check it out while its still relatively new. Yays to another excuse for a quick getaway hehe.

[Hotel Review] Novotel Singapore on Stevens

On By Satu KosongIn Accor, Novotel, Singapore, Staycations1 Comment

My first attempt to redeem my Accor Plus Stay Benefit for 2018!

I’ve wondered about staying here ever since this new kid on the block opened in October 2017. The 2nd Novotel and also the 3rd Mercure in Singapore in a joint development and shared premise sounded really exciting.

And of course I picked Novotel as it is a complimentary stay and its more value to pick the more expensive!

[Hotel Review] Novotel Bangkok on Siam Square

On By Satu KosongIn Accor, Bangkok, Novotel, ThailandLeave a comment

After redeeming my miles for Bangkok (25,000 miles on SQ), I decided to stay in Siam area for the 4days this time as interestingly, I’ve always stayed at other areas as Siam hotels are always super busy (and expensive!).

The hotel has been running for ages but they have also recently undergone a much needed refurbishment. The pictures shown online from late 2017 onwards seems to present modern Novotel touches all across, quite nice indeed.

[Hotel Review] InHouse Hotel Heritage 薆悦酒店

On By Satu KosongIn Accor, Holiday, Independant Partner Hotel, Taipei, TaiwanLeave a comment

Imagine my surprise when I found a hotel in Ximending which I can actually earn points from! Taipei is notorious for not having chain hotels which causes hotel membership followers like me huge dismay when it comes to maximising our nights. I last stayed at Via Hotel and Westgate and while they were nice, I always thought it would be perfect if I can earn some points at the same time too.

So it was literally a no brainer when this property appeared in my Taipei Accor search – a partner hotel! Yay!

[Hotel Review] Hotel Dua Kaohsiung

On By Satu KosongIn Accor, Holiday, Independant Partner Hotel, Kaohsiung, TaiwanLeave a comment

I’ve seen this hotel while browsing non-Taipei Taiwan hotels and thought it looked really nice. Then I forgot about it and chanced upon it again when researching for Kaohsiung hotels for my 2017 family trip. So happy that it is also now a partner hotel of Accor – yays to earning status points while staying at a nice hotel!

Based on the pictures I saw on TA, the hotel seems like a superb choice for my 3nights’ stay and I booked the largest room available – a little splurge for 3 of us!

One of my fav hotel logos!

 

I love checking out new hotels so this had been on my list for quite some time – and I snagged the chance to book it during the Accor Super Sale @ 30%. Not a lot but its still savings! A super lux staycation checked off my list finally.  So excited to see this new Sofitel as the other 2 are erm a little less interesting (either that or they’ve been around for too long).

I’ve stalked this place ever since it first opened last year, waited for its teething problems to be over, and booked my tickets once there was a window for a 3 day trip to this town, which I honestly haven’t heard of until the Pullman news came up. And so we took that random 2-hour flight on Air Asia on a random Friday for this really chill short trip.
