There is a small distinction in that the the V/P are each listed as "An Intercontinental ALLIANCE resort" so strictly speaking they aren't IC Properties, just "aligned" with them. Hopefully, IHG and V/P have worked this out and the person who another poster heard from at the V/P just isn't in the loop. But, I continue to suspect we won't fully know until the first few people show up at the property.
To the question about the lack of a disclaimed saying that benefits will be denied, there is also no explicit statment that full benefits WILL apply.
I have previously explained here in this thread however the Alliance property is flying under the IC umbrella so though not an actual
IC brand property it is expected to offer all Ambassador benefits.If they do is another story
Planet Hollywood was very good offering benefits as an alliance property under the SPG partnership in the years the relationship lasted.
Suites and late checkout were consistent.
I am hoping this will be the new go to property now that the Westin Las Vegas has denied suite upgrades to Platinum members and
started demanding resort fees without being a resort.
