Intercontinental London - The O2
Intercontinental London - The O2
Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive? King Superior; upgraded to King Deluxe Canary Wharf View How are the rooms? Brand new (obviously) and very smartly done. The room is around 30sqm so isn't huge but perfectly large enough. Large bathroom with separate bath/shower and didn't have Agraria bath product (Anne Semonin I think?). Unit in main room with coffee maker, mini bar, safe and kettle. Very comfortable bed; sockets everywhere (including 2 USB by the bed) How is the exec. lounge? Not yet open What was good and what was bad? Good Excellent welcome. Was greeted as a Spire Ambassador on check-in (and again at breakfast), and after a quick check-in process was offered a guided tour of the hotel which is looks superb Good welcome gift (chocolates) and variety of fruit Great breakfast (included in Be Our First Guest rate) and many dining/drinking options in the hotel Bad Not everything is yet open - but obviously this will change (by the end of the month I'm told) The hotel was very empty, but the whole O2 complex seemed quiet given it was New Year's Day Value for $ or IHG Rewards Club Points? Would you return? Will definitely be returning. Given its location, the hotel's rates are a bit on the high side (i.e. quite a bit more than those at Excel), but as far as I'm concerned, this is a very good hotel and will be able to justify the premium. It is just in zone 2 on the Underground so it doesn't cost much or take much time to get to Westminster/Green Park/Bond Street/etc on the Jubilee Line |

Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive? Classic Room (Using 50,000 points) upgraded to Superior Room then upgraded again to Executive Room How are the rooms? Very clean, well maintained. Decent size with a view overlooking Park Lane (Hyde Park at a push). Small(ish) bathroom. Great comfortable bed. How is the exec. lounge? Access not allowed or even offered at a fee. What was good and what was bad? GOOD: Staff are all very friendly. Spotlessly clean throughout. Recognised on arrival as a Spire Ambassador Member. Great location. Early check-in at 11:30am permitted, late check-out of 4pm permitted. Welcome gift was a packet of Shortbread biscuits. BAD: Service slow in the hotel bar even though it was pretty quiet. No Newspaper offered. Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return? Great value. Booked on 30th December for the following night (New Year's Eve). Executive Room rate was showing at over £700 so definitely worth 50,000 points. Would definitely return. |
