As of 18 December 2020 Accor (finally) has a straightforward policy and a simple form to request a voucher. It may or may not work, however (it didn't work for IMH on 21.12.2020). The details in English are here: https://all.accor.com/event/information.en.shtml
The important part is as follows. I've removed the link to the form, however, as it's an individually generated URL.

Well we are getting there. Accor still seems to have a problem calling it a global waiver but I guess "North and Central America, Europe (Except France and Italy), the United Kingdom, Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific" is almost global now. South America is the last hold out for reasons known only to Accor. ![Confused](https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/images/smilies/confused.gif)
All of this after weeks of missteps and dragging them kicking and screaming into reality. An early, clear and decisive waiver decision would have done wonders for the reputation. A reputation which is now very tarnished in my view.

Why? Why not? It's the Accor way! Doing things differently across different geographies, demographics, brands, dates, zodiac signs, or whatever else they can use for segmentation... is what Accor does. Accor is consistently inconsistent.
But if you don't like the policy, just wait a couple of days. I'm sure they'll change it again to something else you won't like, but hopefully you'll dislike it just a little bit less than the previous iteration.

I would expect most bookings to become cancel able very soon as Accor plan to close 2/3 of their hotels:

edit: Sorry just saw an earlier post about this.
Addon:
if it helps anyone who is trying to cancel their bookings in Thailand but can’t claim on insurance - this morning Thailand banned all arriving International Passenger flights which might give a new avenue under trip cancellation insurance.

We have a group booking for over EUR 3000 in Poland, in April. The hotel is refusing to refund, seemingly on the basis of "All group bookings, including for meetings and events, our global sales teams are working closely with hotels to provide the maximum flexibility possible, in assessing case by case the need to cancel or postpone events.". and saying that the text at the top of the page ("may ... cancel their reservation and be refunded without penalty") only applies to individual bookings. Obviously the hotel wants to keep its money...
How do I make contact with the relevant "global sales team" to try to get this sorted out?

This is good news for Mainland China etc, but is still the drip drip drip.
Accor : EVERYONE needs this, do it now. Also extend the Accor Plus by a year as well, or you will not get many renewals on this ....
