Accor hotels are some of the nicest in the world. They include the Sofitel brand and more. Get gold status for free when you click here. The status is good for room upgrades, late checkouts, welcome drinks, and bonus points with each stay. I’ve never stayed at Accor hotels, but I’ll take the gold status, load it into my Award Wallet, and use it for hotel status matching.
Edit (10/6/11): Forget gold, you can get top-tier Platinum status here.
