Were you generally happy with the hotel?
Yes!

Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
1st. night: Reward Night
2nd. night: Deluxe Riverview
received: City InterContinental Suite (One Bedroom Suite)

How was the room?
ca. 70 sqm, high floor with beautiful view to canary wharf. Furniture in very good condition. Bed was comfortable.
Perfect working air conditioning system, 16°C worked without problem. It seemed that I got one of the bigger One Bed Room Suites. This one has definitely more than 60 sqm.

How is the Club InterContinental?
On the second floor with good view to the skyline of Canary Wharf. Happy hour and light (buffet) dinner from 5 to 7pm, which was fine as I am not a big fan of this new mini portion canapés like in IC Berlin.

Did you receive a welcome gift?
Standard ambassador treatment.

How was the mini-bar?
Decent. 2x coke, 2x diet coke, 2x orange juice, Red Bull, Schweppes tonic water, 2x white whine (can be replaced with red wine or champagne), 2x water, sparkling water, 2x 664, scotch whiskey, Jack Daniel’s, Absolut Vodka, Beefeater, 2 chocolate, etc.

What was good?
-huge upgrade, even on rewards.
-complimentary lounge access for third person
-restaurant breakfast complimentary (for third person too)
-full benefits on reward night.
-minibar replenished
-view
-room breakfast complimentary (5GBP service fee applies)

What was bad?
(-snacks were charged)
​​
Value for cash/points?
Rate of IC PL was ca 3,5x higher and would not grant club access on rewards. Very good value.

Would you return?
Yes!
