Premium Stays for Less: Accor’s Stay 3, Pay 2 Explained
How “Stay 3, Pay 2” Offers Unlock Real Value at Accor’s Luxury Hotels
Many premium hotel groups quietly run “third night free” promotions through exclusive luxury travel advisor programmes, giving guests access to luxury perks and genuine savings.
These offers aren’t just clever marketing. They can be one of the most effective ways to experience five-star stays while keeping your costs down. With a “Stay 3, Pay 2” offer, you simply pay for two nights and the third is complimentary.
These promotions are typically available only through luxury advisor networks such as Accor HERA Preferred, Virtuoso, Hilton for Luxury, and Hyatt Privé, not on hotel websites or public booking platforms.

Real Example: Hyde Melbourne Place - AUD650 vs AUD 926
Hyde Melbourne Place currently offers a third night free when booked through the Accor HERA Preferred Programme, available exclusively via accredited travel advisors.
AUD 650 for Accor HERA Preferred rate for three nights, with no pre-payment required, flexibility cancellation and perks.
AUD 791 for publicly bookable non-refundable rate with full payment upfront. This is equivalent to AUD141 more for a non-flexibility reservation.
AUD 926 for publicly bookable flexible rate. This is equivalent to AUD276 more for a comparable comparison.
On top of the US$100 (approx. AUD 150) credit, daily breakfast for two, and upgrade potential, this represents exceptional value, saving hundreds over a weekend stay.
Your Accor Platinum or Diamond status is still honoured, meaning you’ll receive points, night credits, and elite recognition, along with club lounge access access where available, better room allocation and enhanced welcome amenities.
Real Example: Fairmont Singapore SGD996 vs SGD1558
At Fairmont Singapore, a third night free offer is available through Accor HERA Preferred.
SGD 996 before taxes for Accor HERA Preferred rate for three nights, with no pre-payment required, flexibility cancellation and perks.
SGD 1,096 before taxes for publicly bookable non-refundable rate with full payment upfront. This is equivalent to paying SGD 100 more for a non-flexible rate that excludes breakfast and the US$100 hotel credit.
SGD 1,380 before taxes for publicly bookable flexible rate. This is equivalent to SGD384 more without breakfast.
On top of the lower rate, you’ll receive additional perks such as daily breakfast for two, a US$100 (approx. SGD120) hotel credit, priority room upgrades, and VIP welcome amenities.
Accor Platinum and Diamond members will also have their status fully recognised, including points and night credits, elite benefits, club lounge access where available, better room allocation, and enhanced welcome amenities.
The total savings and added value make this an easy choice for a luxury stay without compromise.
What if I am an Accor Platinum or Diamond member?
You’ll still receive all your usual points, nights, and elite benefits as the rate is not considered a third-party booking. Many elite members even report receiving better room upgrades/allocation and enhanced treatments under HERA Preferred bookings.
Can I stay for 1 night?
Most hotels allow single-night stays to receive the listed perks, while some require a minimum of two nights. It’s a perfect option for a luxury weekend staycation.
Is it 2 nights free if I stay for 6 nights?
Yes, if the property is running a “Stay 3, Pay 2” offer, staying six nights would mean paying for four.
