What is your IHG Rewards Club status?
Spire Inner Circle Royal Ambassador

Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay
Yes, very much so.

Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
Booked cheapest advance rate, and received a King Premium room on last floor, with city view.
I also received a EUR37 credit as "higher categories are not available" (which is more than generous as the Premium room is basically a Club room)

How are the rooms?
Around 45sqm
Superbly renovated in a luxury yacht style
Seating area and desk.
Large smart TV with good selection of international channels.
Nespresso machine. Kettle.

Large comfortable bed.
Large flat screen television with large selection of international channels.

Bathroom with bathtub, separate toilets and walk-in shower. Very nice Byredo "Bal d'Afrique" amenities

Very quiet. Very efficient air conditioning system.

How is the exec. lounge?
The club lounge is not open yet.
Very good breakfast served at the main restaurant on main floor.
Afternoon tea and evening snacks/drinks served in the lobby area (I did not experience both of them).

What was good and what was bad?
Good
Very friendly and professional staff, smiling and attentive service.
Super renovation (it is hard to recognize anything from former Crowne Plaza
Superb spa with indoor pool (unfortunately at a cost: EUR 40 for 45 minutes).
Very pleasant top floor outdoor pool with terrace

Bad
Nothing

Value for $ or IHG Rewards Points? Would you return?
The hotel is not cheap (around EUR 300 a night), but definitely worth it.

The gastronomic restaurant, in addition of the current restaurant, will open soon.
