Complimentary canapes and cocktails, exclusive lounges and top-tier service \u2013 it’s time to join the club.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine this: you\u2019ve just landed on the Island of the Gods, and after dropping your bags at the five-star InterContinental Bali, you head out to enjoy an afternoon jam-packed with activities. On return, you visit the exclusive Club InterContinental, where you\u2019re warmly greeted with ice-cold drinks, a meticulously arranged (and included) high tea and access to the resort\u2019s most exclusive pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or this: after a morning spent hanging ten on the legendary Waikiki break, you return to your club room at Outrigger Waikiki Beach Resort, shower, and head up to the hotel\u2019s open-air Voyager 47 Club Lounge. Surrounded by breathtaking views over one of the most iconic coastlines in the world<\/a>, you savour a complimentary Hawaiian-style breakfast and free-flowing premium Kona coffee. Tonight, you\u2019ll return for sunset pupus (appetisers) and mai tais.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s the magic of a hotel club room: they offer exclusive access to carefully curated club lounges, bundled with the room price and offering bonus privileges other guests may not even be aware of. Put simply, it\u2019s the hotel equivalent of business class, often obtained at a much lower price. The quality and benefits can vary widely by region and hotel chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. Complimentary drinks, dining and canapes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Most club lounges offer an area, separate from general guests, to take breakfast; live cooking stations, hot a la carte menus and glasses of sparkling wine are common. Free-flow refreshments \u2013 coffee, tea and soft drinks \u2013 are also often included throughout the day, with some, like Club Sofitel at Sofitel Melbourne on Collins, also offering a complimentary light lunch and French high tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Complimentary canapes and sundowners, meanwhile, offer the perfect way to begin an evening; many hotels, like Padma Resort Ubud\u2019s Club Lounge, offer a generously extended selection of craft beers, wines and cocktails. Plus, guests dining outside the club schedule are often extended a dining discount for use across the hotel\u2019s standard restaurants, offering the perfect excuse to mix it up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
