What we'll be covering
Accor Plus is getting a makeover, and as always, there are winners and losers. From 1 October 2025, the program will relaunch as ALL Accor+ Explorer, bringing a fresh name, a lower price tag, and a reshuffled suite of benefits.
Existing members will also transition over to the new program from that date. But while some perks are getting a boost, others are being scaled back. Here’s everything you need to know.
What does ALL Accor+ Explorer include?
While ALL Accor+ Explorer retains most of the existing benefits in Accor Plus, there are some significant changes. From 1 October 2025, new and existing members will have:
- Two Stay Plus free nights each year across Asia Pacific (note: now requires a two-night minimum booking)
- Up to 50% off Red Hot Rooms at select hotels in Asia Pacific
- 15% off public rates at over 4,500 Accor hotels globally
- Dining discounts: 30% off food and 15% off drinks across Asia Pacific properties
- Instant ALL Accor Gold Status with 30 bonus Status Nights credited annually
What’s new and what’s gone
While the headline perks look appealing, existing members will notice a few key changes:
| Feature | Previous | New |
|---|---|---|
| Stay Plus Nights | 1 Stay Plus night per year that can be redeemed for a completely free night | 2 Stay Plus nights per year that must be used as part of a two-night minimum booking |
| Dining Discount | Up to 50% off food | 30% off food, 15% off drinks |
| Complimentary Status | Silver (with 20 bonus nights) | Gold (with 30 bonus nights) |
| Annual Fee in Australia | $399 | $349 |
The drop in annual fee is welcome, but the reduced flexibility on free nights and dining may be a drawback for some.
According to Accor Plus CEO Emilie Couton, the program changes have come about after 18 months of feedback from travellers and team members. ‘ALL Accor+ Explorer is a strategic enhancement built for discerning travellers who want more than perks,’ she says.

Point Hacks reached out to ask for more clarification about the transition for existing members after 1 October 2025. A spokesperson for Accor Plus confirmed that existing Stay Plus bookings will be honoured. Unused Stay Plus credits will convert at a rate of 1 to 2 (i.e. one existing Stay Plus will convert to two Stay Plus credits, which will have the new two-night booking minimum attached).
Members planning to continue after 1 October 2025 will receive the bonus 30 Status Nights credit after renewal and payment of the new membership fee.
Is ALL Accor+ Explorer still worth it?
For frequent Accor guests, there are some positive changes overall, including the lower annual fee and higher bonus Status Nights credit. If you’re usually booking stays of two nights or more anyway, then the doubling of the Stay Plus free night credit will likely save you more money in the long run.
But if you’re a more casual user who primarily relies on the standalone free night and the deeper 50% dining discount, it’s worth weighing the trade-offs before renewing.

So as a current member your 50% dining discount for a couple becomes 30% on 1 October 2025. However if you are a current member dining solo, then your 25% discount becomes a 30% discount on 1 October 2025.
15% off base + Signature is amazing value for Europe. I tend to build up my status credits with RHR (no points use allowed) in Australia/SE Asia/Japan and burn points in Europe and South America, so this will be a good way to keep diamond.

Fresh? Not so sure about that. Convoluted? I think so. “Accor Plus” is nice and simple. The new name, pronounced in full, would be “Accor Live Limitless Accor Plus Explorer”.
Can you imagine walking into a hotel restaurant and asking if they honour the “Accor Live Limitless Accor Plus Explorer” discount? It’s a horrible mouthful. People will just say “Accor Plus”, which makes the entire rebrand rather moot.
