Apologies to lift this from
Misuse of Lounge Pass and measures of the hotel - e.g. IC Berlin but also other hotel
But i think it is best to keep this also here for reference sake :
Across the whole of IHG using DLS:
DLS: Dual Lounge System at IC
+/- : Operates a club lounge & "inferior" lounge
- IC Bali Jimbaran : Club Intercontinental lounge VS "Singaraja Lounge"
- IC David Tel Aviv : Club Intercontinental lounge VS "Executive Lounge"
Annual lounge pass holders get complimentary access to both hotels' Club Intercontinental lounge
++/+ : Operates a "premium" lounge & club lounge
- IC Tokyo Bay : "Nagomi" lounge VS Club Intercontinental lounge
Annual lounge pass holders get complimentary access to Club Intercontinental lounge but not the Nagomi lounge
Datapoints provided in InterContinental Tokyo Bay - Master Thread
Thank you hailstorm Travelingjack04 bc1280
One must pay extra ¥10.000 per person to access the Nagomi lounge
I am adding this because Tokyo has 3 IC hotels with a Club Intercontinental lounge.
So you may chose as the 7 Apkallu sages in wisdom what tickles your fancy and suits your needs:
ANA IC Tokyo
ANA Intercontinental Tokyo (Master Thread)
IC Tokyo Bay
InterContinental Tokyo Bay - Master Thread
IC The Strings Tokyo
The Strings by Intercontinental Tokyo Master Thread [merged]
