IC Clement Monterey Master Thread
 

I'm surprised there is zero discussion about this newest
addition to California IC scene. The website takes reservations
starting June, but I just called PC and it is apparently open.

Will try it for a weekend soon. Has anyone seen it?

Have not been there yet - but will go in August.

Had recently email contact with the hotel and received an answer from them yesterday "...The hotel had a successful opening yesterday..."

So it seems like they had their opening on Friday.

Please post a detailed report after your stay!

Found this on YouTube

I've booked my stay in July, so I'll post if nobody does beforehand.

Posted on my blog today a piece about The Clement InterContinental Monterey with several photos of the property.

The hotel is still finishing up lots of features. The bar and restaurant and workout space are ready. I love the jelly art lightshow in the lobby stairway to the second floor.

This hotel is a fine addition to Cannery Row and provides a good piece of public access viewing of the Monterey Bay from Cannery Row on par with the views from the Aquarium decks next door.

Ciao Rik!
I was checking your blog and the review of The Clement is just great! congratulations and thanks a lot!!

Satori,

thanks a lot for your report and the pics!

As you have also been in some of the rooms: What about the room sizes and the views?

Excellent review, looks like a very nice new property!^

Thanks for the post and the pictures; I was amazed of the small lap pool :D

travelzoo is showing a promo rate of $169 Sunday-Wednesday. Advance purchase rate is $153 and 4K PC points rate is $189. This can be booked directly on IC's website

=====================================
The highly anticipated InterContinental The Clement Monterey is opening its doors with an incredible $169 special. Come August, rates at this upscale 4-star hotel will jump up to $289 per night.

This offer is good for Sunday-Wednesday nights, May 26 - July 31. Thursday-Saturday nights will only cost you $30 more. Book by May 30.

Located next to the Monterey Bay Aquarium on historic Cannery Row, the property features The C Restaurant & Bar, Energia Body Centre Spa, a health club, pool and kids' club. Many rooms include fireplaces, balconies and ocean views.

Blackout Dates: July 17-20

For more information and to book, click here or call InterContinental The Clement Monterey directly at 1-866-781-2406 and mention rate code ILDHK.

Hope it's open. They are taking reservations for mid June. Unsurprisingly, weekends more expensive than weekdays, and some Saturday nights are sold out.

AAA rates are within $20 of the Travelzoo rates; as it's uncertain whether TZOO earns PC points and room night credits I went with AAA.

I was walking past the Clement yesterday when I saw it was open. I'm in town for work. I walked into the lobby and made a reservation for this weekend. I'm excited as it looks to be a very nice hotel. I'll post a review after my stay is completed.

We will be there this upcoming weekend too! So far I've had
an amazing communication with the hotel.
We'll post my review and pictures.

My short report
 

Well, we just spent a great weekend in Central California - part of it
because of an amazing service in the new IC Clement.
From the moment you step inside, stuff makes every effort to make your stay great.
Everyone seems to be very proud of the hotel. Many people are visiting
and once you checked in, they show you the hotel as well.
It's located on Cannery Row next door to the aquarium.
We were assigned a luxury suite on the 3rd floor - a great, large corner suite
with many windows and a bedroom balcony. Both rooms have a fireplace
and an LCD TV above it. Many channels in HD.
There are two bathrooms - a smaller one before the main entrance
to the living room and the main one open to the bedroom.
A lot of space. And some great views in all directions.
You can see those views on my pictures. As well as the suite.
The hotel is great, it's new and some hiccups happen - we waited almost
an hour for our breakfast the first day, but you see people trying and it's
obvious everybody is still learning. A great place for a weekend drive from LA.

IC Clement DO?
 

This is home territory for me. Would there be any interest in a June or July DO? If so, I would be happy to contact the hotel to see if they'd be willing to do something special for us FTers.

Had no idea it was even there until I walked by it today during my visit to Montery. Already booked a weekend for August.... We will see how they treat RA's.
