Fairmont President’s Club gets rolled into Le Club AccorHotels on July 2, 2018.

I’m wondering if they’ve just not posted the revised new Accor program benefits as these have pretty much been the previous benefits of each tier, particularly exec lounge access for Platinum elites…and I don’t see either the room category upgrade for Gold and Platinum as well as free wifi on the new comparison chart.
