Booking Mantra Hotels in Australia with Woori Card ALL Infinite | Accor Gold, Stay Plus & 14,000 Points

In January 2027, we plan to travel to Brisbane, the Gold Coast, and Sydney with 4 adults and 1 child, so choosing accommodation was our biggest concern.

​

Standard hotels often have a maximum occupancy of 2 people per room, so a family of 5 might need to book two rooms. With this in mind, we first looked for apartment-style hotels with 2 bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and laundry facilities.

​

It also occurred to us that we might be able to save on accommodation by using the Accor hotel membership benefits included with our previously issued Woori Card ALL Infinite.

​

Mantra, an Accor brand, operates apartment-style hotel rooms in Australia. Considering both room types suitable for families and Accor membership benefits, we chose Mantra accommodation in all three cities.

Woori Card ALL Infinite is a premium credit card partnered with global hotel group Accor.

The annual fee is 500,000 won, which is relatively high compared with standard cards. However, if you stay at hotels frequently or can make planned use of the related benefits, it may be worth considering the additional perks as well.

The benefits that especially caught my eye were 14,000 ALL Reward points and 2 Stay Plus free-night benefits.

​

According to the stated conversion, 14,000 points can be used toward 280 euros in accommodation costs. The amount in Korean won varies with the exchange rate, but is equivalent to around 400,000 won.

​

Separate conditions may apply to when points are issued, whether they can be used, and the various membership benefits, so it’s best to check the latest information from the card issuer and Accor.

One notable feature of ALL Infinite is that it provides Accor Gold member benefits as well as hotel reward points.

​

Key Accor Gold member benefitsinclude room upgrades subject to availability, early check-in or late check-out, and additional reward points on qualifying stays.

​

Gold members can earn 48% more stay reward points than regular members. However, room upgrades and adjustments to check-in and check-out times depend on hotel availability, so they should not be considered guaranteed benefits.

​

The benefit I was especially looking forward to was the ALL Accor+ Explorer Stay Plus 1+1 free-night benefit.

​

Stay Plus lets you get 1 night free when you book 2 or more nights, and is available twice in total during the membership period. It can be used at participating hotels in the Asia-Pacific region and the UAE.

​

Australia is also included in the eligible regions.

​

The two benefits cannot be applied together to one booking or used for consecutive stays. Eligible dates and rooms may vary by hotel, so check the terms before booking.

​

Also, Stay Plus free-night vouchers and ALL Reward points cannot be used together on the same booking.

So it was important to compare member discount rates, point redemptions, and rates with Stay Plus applied separately for each hotel to find the most suitable option.

For this trip, we planned 3 nights in Brisbane, 3 nights on the Gold Coast, and 3 nights in Sydney, for a total of 9 nights.

Mantra South Bank Brisbanehas the advantage of being conveniently located for exploring South Bank attractions. We chose a 2-bedroom apartment-style room with a kitchen and laundry facilities; the rate for 3 nights is about 998,000 won.

​

Mantra Crown Towers on the Gold Coastis a family-friendly resort close to Surfers Paradise Beach. It looked like a good place to relax with a child, with an outdoor lagoon pool and children's play facilities.

​

Finally, Mantra 2 Bond Street in Sydneyis a city hotel with convenient access to Circular Quay and major attractions. We booked a 2-bedroom apartment-style room, and the rate for 3 nights is about 907,000 won.

​

When 5 people are staying, maximum occupancy or extra bedding rules can be an issue even for a room with two bedrooms. Before booking, check whether the room allows 4 adults and 1 child.

We chose Mantra for this family trip to Australia for reasons beyond its being an Accor brand.

​

Along with considering spacious rooms suited to a group of 5, cooking and laundry facilities, and access to attractions, the ability to use the points and hotel membership benefits of Woori Card ALL Infinitealso played a major role in our choice.

​

The 500,000 won annual fee may feel like a burden. However, if you make good use of the points equivalent to 280 euros, 2 Stay Plus free-night vouchers, and Gold member benefits, they may help offset the annual fee.

​

However, whether you can use both Stay Plus benefits and whether the room rate after applying them is better than other booking options depend on each hotel's availability and terms.

Not every Accor benefit applies to every Mantra hotel and room, so check the terms for the specific property during the booking process.

​

If you’re planning a family trip to Brisbane, the Gold Coast, and Sydney, you can compare Accor Mantra accommodation and ALL Infinite benefits.

After this trip, we plan to see how useful the room layout, convenience for a family of 5, Gold member services, and membership benefits actually were.
