For a full review of this property, including the Club InterContinental experience, see my latest trip report here:

The World’s Best Business Class Experience to the City in a Garden
is the s$120 for the club worth it for a family of 4?
Cant find much review or links on the clubs. Hotel did email me that it’s the very few lounges that open 24/7

Hi All, I have a 2 night stay here booked using an ambassador weekend certificate, I am Spire Ambassador. I booked a Deluxe Club King several months ago to ensure lounge on what is now looking like a very good rate. What room am I likely to be upgraded to?

IC Singapore is a strict 1 category upgrade. My bet will be the Shophouse deluxe rooms (which are awful). If you like an upgrade to a suite, you should change your booking to the Shophouse King Club

They are still very strict but changed the categories recently. To avoid confusion: Shophouse rooms are now called "Heritage". Heritage King is now the lowest cat and will most likely not upgrade to a suite but to Deluxe or Grand Deluxe.
Do you mean "Club Grand Deluxe"? This is a small but important difference.
> If yes (I recommend!), it should bring you into a Premier Room, which are nicely remodeled and more like a Studio Suite IMO. Premier Suite (new lowest suite cat.) are exactly the same, just on higher floors.
> If no: Deluxe --> Grand Deluxe (the rooms at the end of the corridor in the main building, a bit larger but darker plus small window in bathroom)

Premier vs Heritage Suites
I booked a Premier Suite for this weekend, and my reservation shows that I've been upgraded to a Heritage Suite.
There's some earlier messages in this thread that the Heritage rooms aren't that great. Does anyone know how the Heritage Suite compares to the Premier Suite? Should I keep the upgrade at check-in or ask for a Premier Suite?

(Heritage rooms are the standard rooms at the same shopping mall atrium location)

I can't seem to find absolutely any dates when I could use the certificate at this property. I am sure I have used it here before so I am a bit surprised.
The new IC at quays offers ambassador night rate available every weekend, but here I couldn't find a single weekend when I could use my weekend certificate.
EDIT: I take it back, i was looking at 2 very busy weekends, my bad. I can see rate available on other weekends now.
