Question Email or Write with complaint?

I have a complaint letter ready to go to both the Ambassador Centre and the manager of the hotel in question. does anyone still send letters? I would think it would look more formal. what would you guys advise?

I would send a letter. This way you have a copy of your correspondence which you can (hopefully) follow up with. A phone call is hard to track and emails often disappear into the ether.

The hotel doesn't have the choice to ignore it, or they get hit with a financial penalty and a bad mark on their overall scores.

Normally, I am a fan of letters, since they are harder to ignore than emails. However, I have had good luck getting my problems resolved through IC's e-mail system. It takes a few days. Good luck!

Email, and then follow up with a hard copy.

Faxes

Has anyone ever faxed a complaint to the InterContinental Hotel Group's headquarters in the UK? If so, to which number did you send your complaint? I am currently at the CP JFK Airport after the cancellation of a UAL flight to ORD and am not happy with the way I've been treated. I have found a fax number (+44 0 0870 4009101) on the company's website for guest relations in Europe, Middle East and Africa, but only a P.O. box for guest relations in the Americas.

Mail the letter - they get more emails and it will get the attention it deserves

email it... I've been in the US guest relations offices, and I know they take all emails seriously.

I've never filed a complaint with IHG but depending on how servere the situation is, I would actually do it all. Email, Letter, Phone call to hotel + PC Guest Relations, and fax. Just as they can ignore an email, they "lose" letters. To be honest, nothing might work, but it's all worth a try.
