Intercontinental London Park Lane

Intercontinental London Park Lane

What is your IHG Rewards Club status?
Platinum Ambassador

Were you happy with the hotel?
Very

Which room did you book and what upgrade did you receive?
Stayed 3 times over a three week period

3 night on points - received London Classic Room
1 paid night (booked executive), two nights on points - received London Executive Room
1 paid night (booked executive), one points night - received Studio Suite

How are the rooms?
Some of the nicest i've stayed in. I was expecting the London classic room to be very small but it was definitely manageable. Studio Suite, although the fittings weren't as modern, was really good. The view out the window was spectacular at night.

How is the exec. lounge?
Ok. Paid the 78 pounds p/night on a couple of stays. It's great to get a cooked to order breakfast option in a lounge. Found the service at evening drinks to be a bit lacking though. Took a long time to take orders and they seemed fairly bored.

What was your welcome gift?
Shortbread cookies.

Did you receive fruit and water in the room?
Yes, but had to ask for it every time. Water often wasn't replenished either.

What was good?
Location was great as a tube stop is really close by.

What was bad?
nothing really.

Value for the money? Would you return?
It's very good value for money on points. The poor conversion rate from AUD to GBP makes it very pricey on cash but it is a very good hotel. I'll definitely be back.
