InterContinental London Park Lane

Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay?
Yes

- Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
Booked Classic King (reward night) - upgraded to London Deluxe King. Offered choice of room on 1st or 6th floor (chose 6th). This is either a 2 or 5 category upgrade, depending on if you count the "London" rooms as a different category.

- How are the rooms?
Very nice overall, especially the views over the park.
Not huge but ok for a London Hotel.
Nesspresso machine, Bose audio system, 40" TV etc.

- How is the exec. lounge?
Excellent lounge with park views.
Great staff that are very helpful and attentive without being intrusive.
Lovely Afternoon Tea (we ate way too many cakes).
Evening drinks and canapes were nice but could have done with a larger selection of spirits as my wife didn't really like anything (she is fussy with drinks though).
Super breakfast with a good buffet selection and an a la carte menu. I had an omelet and it was yummy.

- What was good and what was bad?

+
Great room upgrade
Helpful staff
Excellent club lounge
location
Room amenities: Water, Fruit, Biscuits and a birthday cake/card for my wife

-
Room very dusty (surprising for a top IC)


- Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return?


Yes, excellent value for a points redemption.
Would pay cash if on a 2for1 or for special occasion.
Lounge access good value at £78 for IC Amb


I have photos (incl lounge) if anyone is interested.
