Which of IC or Kimpton would you choose? both in same general area

Kimpton -- no reviews on FT. Yes, can read website, but reviews provide reality & info not on website. Reward stay points near to that of IC

IC -- showing signs of ageing? Welcome Amenity for Diamonds? Club Lounge worth spending the money or extra points to book room w/ Club Lounge access? Photo of toiletries shows something other than Crabtree & Evelyn ...is this true in 2025 (or website photos old/dated) ? I assume room functionality, views, ok.


Curio -- appeared in copilot.microsoft.com list of top properties (interesting, architecture, history, etc) of international hotel groups IHG/Hyatt/Hilton , but it must have closed or reflagged.

Other ?
