Attending a company annual dinner at an Accor hotel left a strong impression on me. The event hall was spacious, well ventilated, and paired with a quality buffet spread. During my three years at CupoNation New Zealand, I discovered that businesses hosting events there can earn reward points. Those points can later offset accommodation costs for client stays, which makes corporate planning more strategic. I update this page once a week, ensuring any current hotel offers are reflected here.
Accor Hotels operates more than 5,000 properties worldwide under brands including Sofitel, Novotel, Mercure, Ibis and Pullman. For New Zealand travellers heading overseas, Accor offers options across luxury, mid-range and budget categories, making it suitable for both business trips and family holidays. The global footprint means consistent standards combined with local character.
We often suggest signing up to Accor Live Limitless for member rates and added perks. Our team keeps an eye on current promotions so you can access competitive nightly rates while earning rewards for future stays.
If you are flexible with travel dates, becoming a member can unlock up to 30% off bookings for a limited time. This type of offer can change without much notice, so it is worth checking availability and confirming your stay while the rates are still favourable.
This membership is free, and it is designed to give you both instant savings and longer-term value through points and status upgrades. When you join, you can access at least 10% off selected hotels, plus exclusive pricing. You also earn Rewards Points across Accor properties, which is where the programme can start offsetting real costs for New Zealand travellers who book stays, dine on site, or use hotel facilities.
Points earning is tied to spending on rooms and on property venues.
Earn 2.5 Rewards Points for every €1 or NZ$2 spent on rooms, restaurants, bars, or spa services at Accor properties.
Every 1,000 points can be used to offset €20, which is around NZ$39.5, from your next bills.
On top of Rewards Points, each stay also earns Status Nights, which help you move up membership levels. This is important because a higher status tends to unlock perks that reduce extra out-of-pocket costs, such as upgrades, lounge access, or later check-out, which can be especially valuable when travelling long haul from New Zealand and arriving early or leaving late.
There are five levels listed in your content.
Classic member, upon signing up. You start enjoying basic rewards.
Silver member, by collecting 2,000 status points or completing 10 nights of stay. You can enjoy a free welcome drink and a late hotel check-out.
Gold member, by collecting 7,000 status points or completing 30 nights of stay. You can get a free room upgrade, early check-in, and priority booking.
Platinum member, by collecting 14,000 status points or completing 60 nights of stay. You can get a free upgrade to Suite Night and free lounge access.
Silver member, by collecting status points or completing 10 nights of stay. You can get free weekend breakfast, spa vouchers, and an option to upgrade one person to Gold Status.
Accor sometimes runs 3x points events, and those can shift the value quickly because the same spend can move you closer to the next 1,000 point offset and accelerate status progress at the same time.
If you are planning multiple stays over a season, try booking one shorter, lower-cost stay during a 3x points event and placing any on-property dining on the same bill. It is a simple way to boost points without changing your travel plans, and it can help you reach the 1,000 point offset milestone sooner for a future stay.
The Explorer Pass, priced at €200 or around NZ$395, provides 15% off year-round, Gold status upgrade, 2 free stays, up to 30% off dining, and up to 50% off selected rooms. Travellers who stay multiple times a year can recover the membership cost quickly through accommodation and dining savings alone. Calculating how many nights you realistically book annually helps determine whether the included benefits outweigh the upfront fee.
Available for €179 or about NZ$355, the Voyager Pass grants 15% off all year, Silver status, premium customer service access, and guaranteed room availability 2 days before arrival. If you often travel during peak seasons, the room guarantee feature can be particularly valuable. Securing availability when hotels are nearly full can justify the pass beyond the percentage discount itself.
The Accor+ IBIS Pass costs €99 or roughly NZ$195 and offers 15% savings at selected ibis properties. For travellers who consistently choose ibis for short stays or business trips, the lower entry price makes it easier to offset the cost quickly. Matching the pass type to the brand you actually book avoids paying for benefits you will not use.
Starting from NZ$16 per month, the ALL Signature Pass awards between 500 and 5000 points monthly depending on the tier selected. Those points convert into credits that reduce future booking costs. Frequent travellers who prefer steady point accumulation may find this subscription smoother than chasing sporadic promotions. Reviewing how often you redeem points helps ensure the monthly fee translates into tangible travel savings.
