Very good.

The Club Lounge is rather spacious, which ensures a calm atmosphere even when the hotel is fully booked — something I really appreciate.

What was good and what was bad?

GOOD
- Very attentive and smiling service
- Elegant design,.
- Very pleasant room.
- Convenient location: the hotel is just three minutes walk from the MRT and within easy reach of key landmarks: the National Museum of Singapore (7 min by bike), the (superb) Asian Civilisations Museum (10 min), Raffles Hotel (5 min) and the NCO Club (8 min) — a place I particularly love.
- The hotel’s pool isn’t particularly large. It consists of a main pool and a few smaller pools on the sides for cooling off. However, it’s never very busy, which makes it a pleasant spot to relax. There’s also a bar by the pool.
- HelloRide bike station just opposite the hotel.

BAD
- Nothing

Value for $ or IHG One Rewards Points? Would you return?
Yes.

It was a pleasure to stay one last time at the InterContinental. I’m obviously disappointed to see it close, as I’ve had many enjoyable stays there.
On a previous visit, I was unexpectedly upgraded to the huge Presidential Suite — quite a surprise.

The good news is that the city has another InterContinental, which is also pleasant, though it’s a very different kind of property.

Hopefully a new one will open in the future — and perhaps even a Kimpton or a Regent, which would be a perfect fit for the city.
