Round The World and other travels
A frequent flyer's collection of trip diaries
July 2006 : InterContinental Genève
I had only
booked a standard room at this hotel and was slightly alarmed the
day before my stay to see that my upgrade was showing as King
Deluxe, i.e. not an executive room or a suite. On arrival, however,
I was allocated a 12th floor corner suite, which was very acceptable
Actually, I would classify it as a junior suite, as the living area
and bedroom area were both part of the same, large room.
The hotel is situated close to the UN buildings
and was being used for some official functions while I was there.
It's an easy bus ride into town, costing CHF3 each way. The return
is very straightforward as the official stop name is
'Intercontinental'! Prior to the trip, I had read some criticisms of
the rooms as being disappointing compared to the excellent decor in
the lobby. I didn't experience this sense of disappointment at all
and my only criticism was that the air conditioning system really
struggled to cope with the high temperatures during my stay. Staff
were friendly and helpful, room service was good and the minibar was
fairly well stocked (but didn't necessarily remain so
).
