The new website lists properties along with the differing benefits that those who book Club Intercontinental receive.

A note on the website points out: “The benefits designed by a participating hotel may vary. Club Intercontinental room rates are subject to availability and vary at each participating hotel.

“Participating hotels are subject to change without notice and the number of Club Intercontinental rooms available at each participating hotel may be limited.”

“Our guests can enjoy an array of services including dedicated staff on hand to assist you, Club rooms and access to the exclusive Club Intercontinental Lounge.”

Although benefits do differ, Club benefits normally include access to the Club lounge, breakfast buffet, complimentary pressing, evening drinks and light dining such as canapés
