Should probably just talk to your project PMO to see if there's a project cap. In policy Accenture wise isn't always consistent with client

And your first week on a project is always going to be expensive because it's usually booked last minute. Expensive flight, limited hotel availability, etc. Projects know this and roll with it for your first week.

I stay at whatever SPG property is in policy and a reasonable commute to the office / client site, at he highest end brand that seems reasonable for average rate in the area. >$50/n difference is prob the most is push it - but I'm always ready to explain why in case I'm asked (typically it is proximity to work).

Agree with ACN1. Check if there's a cap with the PMO, or where others stay. My projects have always allowed choice under a designated $ value.

Didn't want to start project on a bad note by spending $350/night when there was something for $275.
