For seven nights I'd email the hotel in advance and ask them what your Ambassador benefits would be if you'd buy it in advance or at the hotel during check-in. Status could make a big difference, e.g. for Club access. The lounge in PRG is small but quite nice and has some local bubbly.

On a related note, what benefits might the Prague Crowne Plaza have for Priority Club/IHG Platinum? Thanks.
IMO, neither of the properties may be worth getting with award nights. They're really quite inexpensive, relatively speaking at the global sense.

IC will give standard Amb benefits, room upgrade, late checkout etc. Wouldn't count on lounge access or free bfast.
CP will give lounge access (been there only for a small spread in the evening), but no free bfast.
Both should offer internet access with the coming changes to PC.
IC has better location for sightseeing stuff I think. Often it's available on 2-4-1 and other prepaid promotional rates dropping the price to about 100EUR per night which ain't bad.

Hope someone can give a definitive answer here:
Looking at rates for the IC Prague, for any given date I'm seeing "Classic Room": "Executive Room" and "1 King Bed Executive Suite".
Is this the full gamut of room types as offered by the hotel and/or IHG website?
Do any of these rooms types include club access by default? Presumably the suite and possibly the exec room?

However meanwhile these "Deluxe Rooms" do not show up anymore, so I am wondering whether I can book a (cheaper) "Classic Room" instead and still get the same upgrade, or even book the "Eexcutive Room" to get an upgrade to a Suite. Very confusing....
Don't know about lounge access either.

Internet access was very slow in the CP and better (but not brilliant) in the IC. The Hilton Old Town also had relatively slow internet access and had the same provider as the IC, so I think if you need to work I'd not rely on internet access in the hotel. But it'd be ok for casual browsing, etc.

IC Prague
Hello,
I was in January in InterContinental Prague.
Few info:
1) Good localization, near metro station and old town. Located by the river.
2) Very good breakfast (but better was in Warsaw)
3) Famous restaurant "Zlata Praha" located on the last 9th floor with view terrace.
4) Swimming pool & sauna free for guests.
5) I think this is an oldest 5* hotel in Prague.
6) Many tourists from Asia inside.
If you've got some question, just ask. I will try to answer.
Few photos below.
1) View from the other side of Weltawa River
2) Room
3) Breakfast
4) Swimming Pool (-1 level)
5) Famous restaurant Zlata Praha - nice view!
6) Presidental Suite (one part of it)
7) Computer room in a Club InterContinental
Thank you very much. If you wish to see 98 photos from IC Prague, feel free to visit my blog here: http://lubiepodroze.eu/hotel-interco...raga-recenzja/ or ask any question on FT forum
Best regards,
PJ.

Very nice set of photos. I'm staying here for the first time at the end of this month and now looking forward to it.
Do you know what benefits, if any, they give to Platinum Elite members?

I am an Ambassador member and booking a deluxe room. How much is lounge access typically at this hotel? Is it worth it?

The Lounge is very very small nothing special and not worth paying a lot of Euros extra as Ambassador.

Agree, with above comments. I'm an RA and don't pay for lounge and still wasn't impressed. Much better deals in Prague, even the Hilton has decent rates. Hotel is very dated, fine if at the right price but the rates always remain pretty high.
