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.

Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
Booked cheapest rate , and received an Executive Corner Suite with view.

How are the rooms?
Around 80sqm.
Very elegant contemporary design
Superb view over the city

Comfortable bed.

Large seating area.

Nice bathroom with bathtub and separate walk-in shower. Le Labo toiletries.

Flatscreen television with large selection of cable channels (but poor selection of international channels).
Possible to connect television with personal devices.

Nespresso expresso machine. No kettle. Only cardboard cups.

Quite small closet

Usb sockets next to the bed and desk.

Under bed lights that are motion activated

PressReader free access.

Very efficient air conditioning.

Very quiet

The central switches used to control the lamps are not intuitive, and some lamps can be operated from the central switch, others not.
The control command to activate hot water in the shower is counterintuitive

How is the exec. lounge?
The club lounge is unfortunately closed.
Breakfast is served at Dekkadance restaurant.

What was good and what was bad?
Good
- Very attentive and smiling staff,
- Good breakfast (but far from quality you may find at European or at best Asian InterContinental hotels in terms of choice and quality of the products),
- Very nice suite,
- Pleasant heated outdoor pool with Jacuzzi and great fitness centre,
- $25 per night plus tax ($28.93 total) “facility fee” have been waived at check-out without asking.

Bad
- Non operational minibar (alternatively, it is possible to use the Royal Ambassador credit at the lobby bar).
- No Dive Pool Bar, Club Lounge, Sora and La Boucherie are temporarily closed.

Value for $ or IHG Rewards Points? Would you return?
Yes, but only after Covid times.
