Club Lounges - Best Bubbles
Greetings from Hong Kong.
The lounge here serves Perrier Jouet - a lovely champagne. The only other club I know of that serves it is Park Lane London. Which IC club lounges serve quality bubbles? The Grand Stanford here in HKG offers Moët....and I do remember liking the Hungarian bubbles in Budapest. Paris Le Grand on the other hand - although available all day - is woeful. Thank heavens for the Cassis. |

As far as I know, below IC properties serve free flow geniune Champagne at Club Lounge or Breakfast time; London Park Lane: Moët Chandon Paris Le Grand: Nicolas Feuillatte Amstel Amsterdam: Moët Chandon (in the breakfast only) Dubai Festival City: Moët Chandon Osaka: Louis Roederer ANA Tokyo: now G.H.

Mumm, Louis Roederer, and Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin I am not sure that any generic NV fizz is that great but as far as it goes I prefer Bollinger which I have never had served at an IC. |
Crowne Plaza Fira Centre in Barcelona serves Mumm's or Moet
IC Frankfurt serves Champagne but you might need to request it, seems they do not always display it |
I am sure I had Veuve Cliquot at IC Robertson Quay in Singapore. But they were newly opened at the time so maybe they've started cost reductions.
I also recall a couple of evenings at the GS Hong Kong where i drank my body weight in Moet :) IC Sydney, just a cheap generic sparkling wine which is a shame. That view deserves champagne. |
Paris Le Grand downgraded to Henriot a couple of years ago. iC Sydney serve Bimbadgen. It’s a sparkling Sémillon, sells for about AU$9 in the shops. Pretty poor. Sydney Double Bay serves something similar - they bring glasses to the table so you never see the bottle. Other major ICs that don’t serve genuine champagne - Singapore Toronto Montreal Wellington |
this list of IC lounges that do not serve real Champagne is quite long ;-)
|
Intercontinental Toronto
No free alcohol of any kind. Prohibited by antiquated provincial law.
|
I was always told "free alcohol is the most dangerous alcohol" ;-)
|
Updating with recent changes:
Dubai Festival City - no longer champagne (courtesy Saint77) Paris Le Grand - Castelnau Hong Kong - Barons de Rothschild (“upgrade from Perrier Jouet”) |
