Introduction to Accor STEP

What is Accor STEP?

Accor is a hotel partnership program with over 40 different hotel brands, spanning from three-star to five-star accommodations. Accor STEP is the preferred partners perks program of Accor, a travel industry powerhouse with thousands of hotels around the world.

What benefits do you get with Accor STEP?

Now here is the best bit…if you book a stay at any Accor STEP hotels worldwide through KP World Travels, you will receive the following benefits:

Third/Fourth Night Complimentary!

Most participating hotels in Accor STEP give a third/fourth night free! When it is the third night complimentary, for every three nights you stay, you only pay for two! Please note: Restrictions apply and third night free offer varies by property and time of the year!

Complimentary Breakfast for Two

Guests will receive daily complimentary full breakfast at a hotel restaurant for up to
two guests, per bedroom. In most luxury properties, breakfast can add a substantial amount to the bill and hence this can be a real saving on the wallet!

Room Upgrade to the Next Category

One of the key benefits of Accor STEP is that you will receive a complimentary room upgrade to the next category. However this is subject to availability at check-in and in some cases does not include an upgrade to suites.

Welcome Greeting & Amenity

A small gift is a great way to begin your stay. Welcome greeting and amenity upon arrival can include local snacks, fruits, champagne or a local souvenir. We work with the hotel to customise your welcome amenity. Hence why we really want to get to know our guests!

The hotel management, on behalf of us and Accor STEP, will also share a welcome letter with you.

$50-$200 Food & Beverage / Spa Credit

Treat yourself to in-room dining, meals at the restaurant or spa treatments. For Accor STEP, this varies by the hotel brand and type of room booked. If you are staying in a suite, you are likely to get more credit than a standard room.

What do the extra benefits cost you?

Nothing!! Why? Because we match the ‘standard rate’ or the ‘best available rate’ advertised on the website and provide the additional benefits highlighted above. Beyond all this, we try our best to make you a VIP client of the hotel and ensure you’re well taken care of. Now who doesn’t like that?

You don’t pay us. You pay the hotel directly at check-out as you normally would.

Sounds good doesn’t it?

Most importantly you will:

Pay the same rate as any other guest BUT you will get extra perks and benefits by booking through us as an Accor STEP agent
Continue to accrue credit card points as you would otherwise booking directly. We love credit card points and want you to continue piling them up
Continue to utilise Amex and other credit card offers, if available, when you pay at check-out using your credit card

What about your Accor Live Limitless status benefits?

Our clients staying on the Accor STEP rate who are also members of Accor Live Limitless will continue to earn points as usual. In addition, clients may receive both their Accor Live Limitless loyalty program benefits as well as the Accor STEP benefits. For overlapping benefits, the guest receives the better of the two benefits.

You will not lose out on Accor Live Limitless status benefits by booking through us. They will be added to the extra benefits we provide
You will receive Accor Live Limitless points for your stay, just as you would if you booked direct
You will continue to accrue elite nights and stays if you are chasing Accor Live Limitless status or aiming to retain your current status
