Reply To: InterContinental Rome Ambasciatori Palace

[Blair Waldorf Salad]

I walked past IC Rome last night and it looked open but the doorman told me they’re not opening for another month. Walked past again tonight and the luggage store room had bags in it, the bellhops were present and correct, ditto reception staff, and a lady with luggage was standing there. Perhaps it is some kind of soft launch with invited guests only.

I had my IC stay cancelled a month ago (so 4 weeks prior to arrival) and extracted quite a high price from IHG to stop me going down a legal escalation route.

I am at the Westin instead. Cash price did sting but booked in such a way to activate 3 Amex Marriott cashbacks; and have been upgraded to a corner suite with 4 stone balconies overlooking Via Veneto.
