By default if booking a deluxe or grand deluxe room they will upgrade you to a corner suite. If you want the club deluxe room and prefer to have it sorted out in advance then you need to contact them upfront. The Club room is the better deal IMHO given that the food offering is quite decent.

I have a booking for a Club room (using BOGO) and was upgraded online to a Club suite which I'm not certain that it actually is a 3 category upgrade. Smells like 1 category to me and I will contact them about it. Anyone has any insight on this? Thanks.

We were told to book the Grand Deluxe and they have upgraded us to the Club Intercontinental rooms. I am an Amb. Our stay is from June 13-16

They're refurbishing all suites above "corner suites", therefore no upgrades or bookings for these kind of suites possible!

why fly

WOW your correct the rate have gone WAY WAY up. Also the upgrades have dropped. I have been staying here for a number of years. The room renovations are really nice but I have booked the Westin for next months stay. I'm also Platinum with SPG.

So, I booked a Club room for a stay in June, and looking at the reservation now, it says 1 King Bed Club Intercontinental SUITE. This IS different to the normal club room. , and I guess 1 cat higher than the Corner Suite.

I'm guessing this new room I've got is what used to be the Ambassador Suite? Can anyone confirm this?

I suppose that's the problem when a dowdy property competes for years by offering very good upgrades and a modest room rate, but once it has been renovated and is up to snuff again with the competition the rates can rise and upgrades be more restrictive.

Thats the exact same room we are upgraded to fro our Jun13-16 stay.

I have the same upgrade to Club suite for my booked stay on Jul 4-6. However, my booking was for a Grand deluxe room and not a Club deluxe room and in the comment I requested upgrade to Club Deluxe instead of Corner Suite. My lucky day I guess

BTW, just stayed at IC BKK from Apr 29 to May 2 and got Club deluxe as requested as RA upgrade from regular deluxe room.

What is the difference between 1 KING BED DELUXE and 1 KING BED GRANDE DELUXE? If I book any of the room will I get the 1 KING BED GRANDE DELUXE ?
Thanks!

demue

I have stayed at either room category in the past and they looked exactly the same to me. Maybe Grand Deluxe had slightly more space by a few square feet or square meters maybe but not really visible IMHO.

Also there are a lot of older threads on the IC BKK so maybe try a search. Cheers ...

My understanding of the difference was that the Grand Deluxe rooms are on higher floors - apart from that there's no physical difference to the rooms.

Hmm now that you mention it I think that was it.

Will we get automatic club upgrades?

My upcoming stays: Booked Deluxe, shows upgraded to Club online. Booked Grande Deluxe(was the same price as deluxe that weekend), shows upgraded to Club InterContinental Suite online.
