InterContinental Genève - GenevaWhat is your IHG Rewards Club status?
Spire Royal Ambassador

Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay?
No, not really

Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
Booked Executive for one night and used RA night for second, received Executive lake view
How are the rooms?
About 40sqm in a strange L shape with windows on two sides, bathroom had screens that opened on to entry .

How is the exec. lounge?
N/A

What was good and what was bad?

GOOD
Breakfast was fine and room was clean and well maintained
BAD
The president of Cameroon was staying and there were demonstrations so were not allowed access to hotel until 21.30, vague apology given. In room there was flowers and card for another guest, I mentioned this when we ran down for dinner. On return card was gone flowers remained with the fruit, next morning they came and wanted the flowers !
Dinner in restaurant was small portions of flavourless food at high prices ,service was fine.
The terrace was closed both days despite lovely weather so breakfast inside only ( I guess security incase president came down) There was constant police checking guests arriving plus many of the presidents security all over lobby
Valet parking was stopped on last morning as Maclaren had cars in entry , so had carry cases to car and call to get gate opened
Mini bar was charged per night and 50 CHF removed, first night two water an oj and another juice came to 69 CHF

Value for Euro or IHG Rewards Points? Would you return?

First night was 600 CHF thankfully second was voucher. We were happy to leave and spend next two nights at les Trois Couronnes in Vevey, which felt like a proper five star hotel .
I will not be returning to IC Geneva
