After having stayed at the Intercontinental Park Lane
last year we decided to return and use our Priority Club Points of the
IHG's frequent traveller program, so I won't describe the hotel in full
detail in this review.
At check in we were recognized as return guests and offered an upgrade to the Executive Club for 140 GBP (ca. 170.50 Euro or ca. 233.35 USD). We were only staying one night and were more out and about, so we thought we wouldn't need it. We were also asked what kind of newspaper we would like to have the next morning "light reading" or business. We decided to have the Financial Times. Late check out at 2 P.M. was offered pro-actively.
Our Superior Room was facing the Four Seasons Hotel on the opposite and was smaller than the Deluxe Room we had during our previous stay. It was also more classic and had a more homey feel. On our bookshelf were classics, like books by D.H. Lawrence and William Thackeray. There were different sketches of London landmarks, for example the Bank of England.
The bed and arm chair with ottoman were comfortable. There was space for two chairs at the writing desk, but only one was supplied.
The bathroom was of a small size. As always Agraria amenities were supplied, which we love to use.
When we returned from a trip to Harrods, English Braeburn Apples and a bottle of Welsh still water were waiting for us as welcome amenities. I was happy, because they are my favourite type of apples.
After a restful night we ordered the healthy breakfast from in room dining. We chose white and green tea, ginger lemon juice, egg white omelette with herbs, onion and pepper, granola, cereal, yoghurt, whole wheat toast and Frank Cooper jams.
Everything was delicious. We enjoyed especially the bread and omelette.
The breakfast was delivered on a table, which was too tight for the room. Neither of us could sit at it, so we had breakfast at the writing desk and arm chair. Maybe a smaller table or trays would be better in this case.
The cost was 67.50 GBP (ca. 82.20 Euro / ca. 112.50 USD) including service charge.
Soon it was time to check out. It was done quickly, effiecient and in a friendly manner.
Next time when we stay at the IC Park Lane, we are going to book the Deluxe Room or above categories, because these rooms are larger and more to our taste in terms of views, size and feel.
Overall, for a one night stay, being mostly out and about this time around, it's a great hotel in a great location.
