InterContinental Hotels Group Stay Forum - IC Paris LeGrand

Hi Folks,

This past summer I used points to stay at the InterContinental Paris, and, as usual, had a fantastic stay. Check out the trip report here (http://boardingarea.com/blogs/onemileatatime/2008/06/25/openskies-to-paris-part-two/).

I'm a regular at this hotel, and indeed am here right now. A perfect stay as usual. I'm not sure what else to write, since there are countless posts on this hotel elsewhere on Flyertalk.

They gave me an update of the Club hours, as they change from time to time.

Buffet breakfast 07:00-11:30
Lunch with sweets 12:00-14:30
Tea time 15:00-17:30
Open bar 18:00-20:00
Champagne, wine, snacks 20:00-22:00

Haven't posted for quite some time here, but thought that the service was exceptional enough at the Le Grand to shake off the dust... I will assume (didn't search for any posts on club access) that it's well known that RA's no longer have complimentary access to the club. Nonetheless, minibar, upgrade, etc. were in line with RA benefits regardless of reward stay. ^

No, it's not well assumed at all. At least not by this RA. I don't know about award stays, but I still get upgraded to Club still on paid stays. Maybe this is a difference between gifted RA's and real RA's? Or RA's who have been RA's for more than 5 years? Or some other criteria? Anyhow, I love this hotel and not just because of the Club upgrade. But that certainly helps. ;)

To be fair FL350 started their post with the title "Rewards Stay - IC Paris LeGrand" - so based on the experience of reward visitors to the IC Grand he/she is correct.

Well it's been a few months since my last reward stay there, but I did get club access then too. We'll see on the next try.

A gentle reminder, that the focus of this subforum is more on the stay reports, than on discussions. Discussions about the hotel should be posted over in the main forum in this thread (http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/intercontinental-hotels-priority-club-inter-continental-ambassador/896351-ic-le-grand-paris-master-thread-merged.html).

Thank you

I'm at the Big Hotel again now. I don't usually post stay reports often since it's usually always the same. I've been coming here for about 10 years or so now and it's always the same pretty much. Upgrade to Club, nice mini-bar. Not much to report.
