Our first port of call in October 2015 when arriving in
London was our hotel, the Intercontinental Park Lane, where we stayed for a
night on a points and cash rate. This was our third stay in three years.
We were recognized by the greeter and at
check in as returning guests. To our big surprise we were upgraded to a London
Room on the 8th floor with courtyard view. We had considered booking
this room type for some time now, so we were very happy to have received the
upgrade and we weren’t disappointed.
The room was medium sized, but very
detailed furnished and beautiful throughout.
There was dark wooden furniture and the
color scheme was grey, blue, brown and gold tones, which was a nice contrast
and added elegance.
The carpet had a beautiful plant print.
The large and extremely comfortable king
size bed took in most of the space.
There was also a seating area with a coffee
table and a club chair, a writing desk with a leather chair and stylish lamps.
Artwork depicted Apsley House and the
Wellington Arch and reading material was the Where in London Magazine, which we
enjoy.
The bathroom was small but well thought out
with a sink, toilet, shower/bath combination and Agraria amenities.
The minibar was fully stocked and the Flat
Screen TV offered regional and international channels.
We had ordered our lunch from the in room
dining menu. It had changed since our earlier stays and was getting more health
conscious and exciting. We had of course to try out the Wellness – “I’m worth
it” by Neuropath Elisabeth Peyton-Jones Spa Bento Box. It included grilled
chicken on Baby Gem, lemon and yogurt dressing, watermelon, mint and feta
salad, salmon sashimi and couscous with moutabel. We also had drinks from the
range, the Stamina and the Vitamin Shot. All was beautifully presented and tasty.
Later we had dinner at Theo Randall’s. A
review is going to follow about it at a later stage.
The next morning it was hard to get out of
the comfortable bed. Our next adventure was waiting, though, and we had to get
ready for breakfast and our train journey to Birmingham.
We shared a Wellness “I’m worth it” Healthy
Start breakfast with green tea, an Energy Jolt, a fruit salad, granola and bran
flakes with soya milk and wholemeal toast. It was delicious.
Afterwards our check out was quickly dealt
with and we were on our way.
We are looking forward to stay at the
Intercontinental Park Lane again in the future.
