What Americans don't understand is that the programme does not work outside the US and specially in Europe having a terrible footprint in a LOT of markets and poor offering overall across a wide spectrum of prices.
+1. When I was reading above about breakfast at HP being better than HIX I was thinking that outside the US several HPs are actually exempt from providing breakfast while every HIX serves it up even in Europe and Asia and in some of those places it can be reasonably decent even.
Hyatt footprint is challenging outside the US and even under corporate program, many properties are off limits due to pricing. Anyways, whatever works for folks.
To get back to IC SIN, it'll be missed. IHG really need to get their act together here after losing the Regent and now the IC Bugis. IHG Regional Management sits in SIN at Bugis Junction Tower just down the road from the IC I think, so double embarrassing.
