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 standard room on points. Given large multi-room suite, above the club.

How are the rooms?
Large two-sink bathroom, with separate bathtub and shower cabin. Two doors to the bathroom and both were soundproofed. Bal d'Afrique products. Separate salon, desk area, entrance area.

How was the mini-bar?
Pretty good, with a nice white Penedes wine that we enjoyed each day.

How is the exec. lounge?
Exceptionally good service and good F&B for the more part. Veuve Cliquot Champagne, cava and the usual Spanish wines, beer, etc. Food all day with some hot food at 17h. But the hot food was somewhat low class. That was the only knock I have on the club. The service was excellent all day and at breakfast. Eggs cooked to order and staff circulating at all times. Cava available at breakfast.

What was good and what was bad?
No one said anything about it, but parking was free. They parked my car and handed me the keys when they brought the bags to the room.

Our kids, who stayed at the Indigo, were welcome in the club when they visited.

Wow, the spa is really nice. Similar facilities to the Hilton LHR T5, but vastly better service.

Bad
Nothing

Value for € or IHG One Rewards Points? Would you return?
I will absolutely reward this great treatment with return visits. I was a regular at the W, but now I prefer the IC. Plus I booked during the recent discount points promo.
