Hanoi Landmark (Q1 2011)
STILL OPEN?

Well you can't really blame them for not building a hotel in Libya and Syria.

Lol right?

This hotel is still "Soft open". Due to building design doesn't meet IHG safety standard (Width of emergency stairs/exit), IHG don't allow to enter the reservation system. But hotel is operating under the name of Calidas Hanoi Landmark72.

Indeed

Still it shows that hotel development under franchise is a difficult job (and quite an uncertainty for both customers and stakeholders).

Or,wars get in the way of normal business.

Don't forget Lyon. It's quite delayed from the original date. And it's not open until its open.

Hotel is now planned to open in 2017-2018.

They shouldn't have bothered opening the London O2. Horrible, soulless place with inept reception staff.

Fully agree for strange location

But staff is very nice at O2

The 2016 pipeline of new hotels as advertised by IHG:

+1 staff great but boy it is dead if theres no big events on..

On a positive note, St Paul MN now has an IC in what was a Crowne Plaza IIRC until about six months ago.

IIRC the place was a Radisson before that.

Hopefully there will be more devellopments in the area which will increase the buzz at the hotel. I do love the secret passage to the O2 where you walk semi-backstage/suppliers entrace, gives it a big filmstar feeling.

I found the staff very friendly, which in my experience is at every Intercontinental i stayed in up till now (Bali, Singapore, Wien, Frankfurt, ParisLeGrand, AmsterdamAmstel, LondonParklane, TorontoYorkville)
