Hmmm... My Club Intercontinental Room has changed to a twin bed opera view deluxe. For a romantic weekend away a twin room probably won't go down to well with the misses! Seems the preferences you set within the booking thing mean nothing as I specified one bed.
I've emailed the hotel, we'll see if they have any non twins. Availability looks a bit sparse online now, same for the other IC.
Whats the CP like in Paris??

IC-PLG has mattress cupboards on each floor and can then swap twins mattresses for a king or vice-versa
Obviously supply cupboard of mattresses has limited number of spares to swap over.
Hotel has done that for me to give me an Opera j-s that was furnished as a twin when i needed a King, I had my room modified to a king bed within 45minutes of reception putting the wheels in motion.

Hopefully you will get a 5th floor Prestigue Suite.... the rooms off of the right hand corridor as you exit the lounge. They are just so convenient when one has club access.
You even get 4 small balconies overlooking Rue Scribe as you get 4 rooms from right to left... bathroom/bedroom/storage closset room /Living Room each with a small balcony
ps
At least you see a mod/upgrade, as I have booked coming Fri+Sat IC-ParkLane London-Exec room (as includes club lounge) and no modify yet. A dummy booking search 1830pm shows only 1x Suite left as a better room type than my booked room.... maybe/hopefully I will get a boost to one of the signature suites as RA for the first time this week end, I have topped out at Deluxe Suites on several past RA stays at IC-PL

My experience of Park Lane tends to be they change it the day before. Maybe it just depends who's on the reservations shift at the time! PL have always been very strict with the upgrades for me although I am only a lowly Spire AMB. Guess it all depends on availability at the time. If they have the higher cat rooms free why not put top end loyalty customers in them.

I hope it sticks too - will make for a great weekend in Paris. From your description the Prestige Suites sound ideal!

Even at 3pm checkin booking was unmodded. I was hoping for a low type signature suite (eg Spa Suite) BUT am very lucky and scoring the 4th biggest room, the Wellington Suite (room 520). After that the rooms go Presidential Suite, London Suite (a Duplex) and Royal Suite.

Currently in an Opera View Junior Suite here at Le Grand. It's really great, I love the super high ceilings. So far, our experience here is very good,including the club lounge which has very decent offerings indeed.

Thanks to hannes08 as I actually didn't get any photos of the club lounge at all! That spread looks about right and in the evening they have two hot dishes too. A very good club lounge in my opinion, we were not left wanting on our two night stay at all.

(although no points/stay credit as a non-qual rate... so no good for accelerator 1Q2017)
https://www.ihg.com/hotels/gb/en/glo...s/winter-offer
Members must book minimum five per the T&Cs (only three by the rate rules though) days in advance or by December 15, 2016, and the stay length must be at least two nights to enjoy the discount.
nb
Even if can only book a Standard Room with promo... you can upsell at checkin for Lounge access with the savings
BUT plug in 10-13 Feb2017 weekend AND IC-PLG Club Room = EUR223/night (even midweek eg 7-9Feb just EUR240/night)
OR
OPERA HOUSE VIEW PRESTIGE SUITE EUR 453/night ... Next Room Cats (Amb Upgrade) are to Ambassador suite/Royal suite/Presidential Suite and IC-PLG is not in list of hotels excluding certain suites from Amb/RA upgrades
