Hotel accepts reservation 1st October 2022 onwards.
Rates start for an average of 24 sqm standard room at whopping 626 euro a night. Breakfast is charged ...78.00 euro (for one or two members).
It will be interesting to see what kind of upgrade Royal Ambassador will get at this property : double upgrade is King Premium Room, with an average size of 35sqm. But not even King Bed Premium Via Veneto Side).

My guess (hope) would be that initially they loaded the "ambitious" rates to test market and that over time more reasonable rates will follow. I'm thinking right now their BAR is pegged to dreamy expectations, but at those room rates in that location it would take a seriously committed traveler to stay there.

So I have a reservation for Fed 14-18 of 2022 that i booked some time early last year. Now the IHG website is not allowing me to cancel my reservation, saying i need to contact the hotel but with the hotel not even close to opening, the number doesnt work.

Just noticed this thread. I really miss the Intercontinental de la Ville Roma. That had some of the best appointed rooms of any IC worldwide. Fine objects of art in the nicer rooms and the best location.
I have a business trip to Rome coming up. Where to stay? I guess the St. Regis or Westin. Maybe Sofitel.

Why not give a try to the Foxton?
I stayed once at Relais & Châteaux Raphaël, and loved the atmosphere.
Or G-Rough if you want something more contemporary?
Or the new W Rome, which is now open?

Has anyone heard any recent news on the opening, which is now reported as Spring 2023 on the website? Seeing as how the opening has been postponed several times now, wondering how risky it will be to book a week in late May.
I was in Rome in April. I should’ve taken a walk by to see how the project is coming along.

Had a stay booked for early March - just seen that they are now not accepting reservations until 13 Mar but have received no comms from the hotel... I since called IHG asking to be moved to another date and they have now just cancelled my original reservation... Great.

I unfortunately had to suffer the same fate when the Kimpton Mallorca was not ready for reservations.
I had a conversation with the hotel GM, who told me that hotels have no control over such cancellations, fully managed by IHG.
I hope that my reservation in March at InterContinental Rome will not be canceled as well. 😬
