The ICHK only does 1 level upgrades now, so if you booked a Deluxe Junior Suite then you will get upgraded to an Intercontinental Superior Suite. If you want to be upgraded to the Executive Suite, you will have to book the Superior Suite then.
Is there a big difference? Well, they are the same size but the superior suite is shaped more triangular and the bedroom is separated. The Executive Suite doesn't have the separation between living and sleeping area so it's more open and feels roomier. The Executive suite also gives you better toiletries. I prefer the Executive suite myself.

One difference is Deluxe Junor Suites upwards, for those who like this kind of thing, the large walkin shower is then also a steamroom

the -16 deluxe Junior suites have the best view. the executive junior suite are just a bigger room with a not that good (still very good) view. i am personally more than happy with that room type and declined upgrades to the bigger Junior suite. We spend New Year's Eve in a Deluxe Junior suite and were more than satisfied space- and viewwise.

So if you are a RA book two categories below Deluxe Junior Suite, email them and leave no doubt that you want a -16 type suite. We had 1516 on NYE and were more than satisfied. it gives an about 210° view from there since these suites are slightly angled. Space is absolutely sufficient. The category above has a bigger bathroom and more space for plenty of luggage, not really an asset and an 180° view. The superior Junior Suites are two smallish rooms and do really only make sense if you need a separate smallish living room.

I stayed in the executive suite for two stays and my suite was located on a high floor dead center of the hotel with a full view of Victoria Harbour.

Thanks for all the info guys, I think things were simpler when I was an ambassador just book a club room and go from there, now that club is a benefit it takes a bit more thought for which room to book lol

o Club Room and all Suites
o Club Room only (all other rooms need to pay suplement)
o No Club with any room/suite. Club is a suplement option no matter which room guest books (though might not be offered on entry level basic room)
plus a few IC's offer Club Experience w/o having a Lounge at a suplement to room rates (eg IC Amstel )

Sorry, I didn't know that you were a RA. You should get a 2 level upgrade then. I would definitely call them to make sure it goes through.
Is there such a thing as an "executive junior" suite? According to their website, it goes from Junior, Executive, Deluxe, Terrace, CEO and Presidential in terms of suites.

can anyone confirm that the 2-level upgrade from a superior room is in fact the DELUXE harbor view room?

Currently here and the construction has really impacted the nice pool area and infinity pools. The new building takes up a lot of the view and they are working a lot in the harbour atm.
Hotel itself is really good though.

No real impact on the big picture views from the lobby or guestrooms. There are lots of small tugs, barges, and cranes working on the Ave. of the Stars extension in front of the hotel and new building. But these are down at water level and mostly close up against the building & future walkway, so the harbor view from the hotel isn't impacted much at all.
