Got a stay coming up using an Ambassador Weekend Certificate and one of the things I'm apparently guaranteed to receive is a 'Welcome Amenity'.
Anyone know what this is?

Think it depends on the hotel you're staying at
At IC Melbourne Rialto I received some snacks and a bottle of water IIRC

Usually 1-2 bottles of water and a fruit plate.
Sometimes a small plate of local desserts or candies.

Technically speaking it is a "gift" of some sort. Originally it was supposed to reflect something of the city but it varies. It can be an item, like the wine bottle carrier bag I just received at the IC Dusseldorf. Or it can be a bottle of wine, or box of chocolates, or something similar. It is NOT the fruit tray and bottled water which is a separate basic provision of AMBASSADORs and RAs.

It is a worthless gift that will clutter your drawers (if you take it with you, or if the hotel does not forget to give it ...) ;)

In fact if you look at this site you'll see that they are listed as completely separate items.

What are the benefits of InterContinental Ambassador status?
...
▪ Fresh fruit and mineral water upon arrival
▪ VIP greeting and in-room welcome gift
My favorite welcome gift that I've gotten from a frequent hotel is the bottle of wine from The Willard. Usually though at most IC's it's chocolates or some cheese and crackers. I prefer the wine because I can take it home, enjoy it later and it's pretty good in my opinion.

Earlier this year IC Singapore was giving some nice prints of historical shophouses, recently it's been a money clip, which I don't use.

IC Wellington gave me a set of glass coasters, along with the usual water and fruit plate. IC Frankfurt gives a large bar of chocolate, wine, and the last time I was there a stainless steel cocktail shaker.
