Intercontinental Adelaide [Master Thread]
 

Well who will be the first to stay at the old Hyatt new intercontinental?
I wonder how they will treat us old diamonds and new RAs:cool:

Details?

Im off to ADL tomorrow, staying at the Hilton though.

When is the Hyatt becoming an IC?

When does it become an IC? A Hyatt Regency being rebranded as an IC shouts for extensive upgrading and renovation...

Been waiting for the official announcement after hearing of the rebranding a week or so back. Any firmer details on it?

23rd of September. they are still being briefed on the PC way of life.
I wonder how they will get their heads around RA status:D
they have never been very big on comp UG to suites.:rolleyes:

So much for my stay at the Hyatt on points during OzFest next May. :mad:

Maybe I'll try to do the Adelaide OzFest after all...

Haha, actually I just checked my itinerary again and I'll be at the Hyatt Regency this weekend! It's a shame it's not 2 weeks later, otherwise I could have tested out the hotel's treatment of RAs.

Well I am glad whoever voted for next Ozfest to be in Adelaide did so, I was completely on the fence, didint mind

awesome news :D

so what the old Holiday Inn will become?

I was upgraded to suite last month in the Holiday Inn. Sorry it will leave the system.

The owner of Holiday Inn Adelaide intends to sell the hotel shortly. Completion of the sale is currently due to take place in late September, at which time the hotel will cease to trade as a Holiday Inn and will be managed by the new owner. After this date, the hotel will no longer be available through our booking channels. If we hold a booking for you at Holiday Inn Adelaide beyond this date

Remember that the new Crowne Plaza Adelaide is opening in the 2nd quarter of 2010

The Holiday Inn is supposed to become a Grand Chancellor Hotel. They are still accepting bookings on the IHG website until Summer 2010. They have stated that they will not honour the Priority Privilege program benefits after September 29, 2009.

Now it's in the newspapers: http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/s...003680,00.html

But still not showing on http://www.ichotelsgroup.com

And only a week away...

Australasian director of sales Anne Gill said the Hyatt would hand over management to the world's largest hotels group at midnight on that day with signage, uniforms and all internal materials to switch to the new moniker immediately.

Does it mean that guests will have a reception staff strip-tease if they check-in at midnight?? :D:D

The story in the link given above doesn't make it sound like extensive renovations are going to happen quickly.
