I'm staying frequently at both properties and yes - the PH is much better! Their pool sucks though and the IKEA rugs need to go. Breakfast at Cornerstone is excellent while the restaurant at IC Parnas is a joke. At least Parnas has a good Club (at a fee).
Totally different hotel concepts though. I can't think of any IC that has PH Standard especially in combination with top tier membership.
can you describe in detail the differences between the IC GP breakfast at the Grand Kitchen and the Cornerstone at Park Hyatt?
the GP breakfast is indeed pricey but I was satisfied with quality of food. Steak for breakfast, fresh veggie juice out of the juicing machine, fresh breads and omelets and whatnot. What does Cornerstone have over Grand Kitchen? I’ve got 4 days for breakfasts so even if I was staying at the Park Hyatt, I wouldn’t want to eat the same breakfast 4 days in a row.
is the IC Coex breakfast any different? Same food as the GP? Is it worth walking over to IC Coex for breakfast?
