If you’re travelling with family or a group and need more than one room, Accor’s policy is similar to most hotel chains, with a hidden benefit. Here’s the bottom line:

• Reward Points: You earn points on up to 2 rooms per night
• Status Points: You earn status-qualifying points on up to 2 rooms per night
• Elite Nights: You earn only 1 elite night per stay, regardless of rooms booked

This is directly from Accor’s terms: the member may earn points for accommodation expenses in their own room plus “another room in the same hotel on the same date (i.e. a maximum total of 2 rooms billed),” provided the member stays in one of those rooms and the second room isn’t occupied by another ALL member.

Why This Matters More Than You Think

Here’s where Accor stands apart from every major competitor: spending from both rooms counts toward status qualification via spend.

Most travellers don’t realise that Accor makes it easier to earn status through spending than through nights. You need €5,600 of eligible spending to reach Platinum status, or 60 nights. When you’re booking two rooms at premium brands like Sofitel, Fairmont, or Raffles, that spending threshold becomes achievable remarkably fast.

Consider this: A 3-night stay in two rooms at a Sofitel averaging €300/night per room generates €1,800 in spending. That’s nearly a third of the way to Platinum status from a single trip. No other major hotel chain makes status this accessible for families booking multiple rooms.

How This Compares to Other Hotel Chains

While Accor allows fewer rooms to earn points than Hilton or IHG, it’s the only major chain where status via spend is genuinely practical for most travellers. This makes the two-room limit far less restrictive in practice.

The Platinum Breakfast Benefit: Know the Regional Rules

If you’ve earned or are chasing Platinum status, the breakfast benefit deserves careful attention—it’s not universal.

In Asia Pacific (most countries):

• Platinum members receive complimentary breakfast daily at all participating hotels
• Benefit extends to all registered guests staying in the member’s room
• Available either in the Executive Lounge or hotel restaurant (if no lounge exists)

Rest of World:

• Platinum members receive Executive Lounge access where available
• Complimentary breakfast is a Diamond-only benefit, and only on weekends
• Lounge access typically includes a light breakfast buffet

Important exclusions from Asia Pacific: Georgia, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan no longer qualify for the Asia Pacific breakfast benefit.

Accor’s Executive Lounge Access: What Actually Happens With Multiple Rooms

Here’s where expectations often crash into reality:

The official policy:

• Lounge access is granted to the Platinum/Diamond member and registered guests staying in their room
• Second room guests do not automatically receive lounge access

What this means for families:

• If you book two rooms, only occupants of the member’s room get guaranteed lounge entry
• Children in your room? Generally included
• Spouse in the second room? Not guaranteed access

In practice:

• Some hotels, particularly in Asia, extend courtesy access to second room occupants when asked politely
• This is purely discretionary and varies wildly by property
• Never assume it, never argue when refused

If lounge access for multiple rooms matters to you, consider emailing the hotel before arrival to ask about their policy. Some properties offer paid lounge access upgrades for second rooms.

Smart Strategy: The Spouse Account Approach

Here’s the most valuable advice for families booking multiple rooms regularly: Have your spouse or travel partner maintain their own ALL account.

Why this works:

• Each member earns their own points and elite nights
• Both accounts can participate in promotional bonus offers
• Both accounts build toward status independently
• You effectively double your promotional earning capacity

How to implement this:

• Book Room 1 under your ALL account (you stay here)
• Book Room 2 under your spouse’s ALL account (they stay here)
• Both rooms earn full points and promotional bonuses
• Both travelers earn an elite night

The catch: You can no longer earn points for both rooms under one account. But the benefits usually outweigh this: two separate accounts mean two shots at double-points promotions, two elite night credits per trip, and faster status progression for both partners.

When to use one account instead:

• You’re specifically chasing status via spend (spending compounds in one account)
• One partner has significantly higher status with better benefits
• Promotional bonuses aren’t running or aren’t valuable
• Hotel offers discounted family rooms rate

Booking More Than Two Rooms? Your Options

If you need three or more rooms, Accor’s standard policy means you’ll only earn points on two. Here are your options:

Use the Meeting Planner program:

• For bookings of 8+ rooms, you may qualify for ALL Meeting Planner benefits
• Earn 1 Reward Point per €2 spent on the entire event
• Points can be split between up to two organising members
• Excludes certain brands including Banyan Tree, Mövenpick (for meetings), and The Redbury

Split across multiple member accounts:

• Two rooms under your account
• Additional rooms under family member accounts
• Each member earns for their respective rooms

Accept the limit and book through alternatives:

• Book 2 rooms direct for points
• Book additional rooms through cashback portals or OTAs (compare pricing carefully)
• Sometimes third-party rates are cheap enough that foregoing points makes sense

Promotional Bonuses: What Counts?

When Accor runs bonus point promotions (double points, triple points, bonus miles), here’s how multiple rooms factor in:

• Points promotions: Typically apply to eligible spending from both rooms
• Stay-based promotions: Usually count as one stay regardless of rooms booked
• Registration-required promotions: The registered member receives the bonus on their eligible spending

From recent promotion terms: “For the purpose of this offer, a stay is one (1) booking by a member of ALL for one or several rooms. In other words, bookings that include more than one (1) room will be counted as just one (1) stay.”

This means booking two rooms doesn’t double your “stay count” for promotions requiring multiple stays.

What About Suite Night Upgrades?

Platinum and Diamond members earn Suite Night Upgrades (SNUs) that can confirm suite bookings at the time of reservation. However:

• SNUs apply only to your room
• Second room bookings cannot use SNUs
• If you want two suites, you’ll need to book and pay for both

Practical Tips for Multi-Room Family Bookings

Before booking:

• Check if the hotel has connecting or adjacent rooms (call to confirm, don’t just hope)
• Email to ask about lounge/breakfast policies for second rooms
• Calculate whether one account or split accounts works better for your situation

At check-in:

• Mention both rooms are connected to an elite member’s booking
• Politely ask about extending any courtesies to the second room
• Don’t argue if declined—it’s not an entitlement

For stays in Asia Pacific:

• Take advantage of Platinum breakfast benefits—they’re genuinely excellent
• Lounge access is more consistently applied than elsewhere
• Hotels tend to be more flexible with courtesies in this region

The Bottom Line

Accor’s multiple room policy is genuinely competitive:

• 2 rooms earn points and status-qualifying spend
• 1 elite night per stay regardless of rooms
• Status via spend makes this more valuable than raw numbers suggest

For families, the strategic decision is whether to consolidate spending in one account (better for status via spend) or split across two accounts (better for promotional bonuses and double elite nights). There’s no universally correct answer—it depends on your travel patterns and goals.

If you’re booking multiple rooms regularly at premium Accor brands, achieving Platinum status becomes surprisingly accessible. Just don’t expect your second room occupants to automatically receive elite benefits—that’s still a privilege reserved for guests in your room.
