You may have already heard of the Club InterContinental, found at most InterContinental hotels. Typically, access is only included when booking an executive room. Of course, you can also pay extra for it. With Virtuoso bookings via our partner Classictravel, Club Lounge access is also included in rooms in the cheaper categories for stays in 2024!
Some of the benefits of access to the Club Lounge are a complimentary breakfast buffet, small snacks and refreshments that you can enjoy there throughout the day, as well as appetizers and alcoholic beverages in the evening. Check-in and check-out are also often possible in the lounge. In addition, the Club Lounge is often in an excellent location in the hotel, for example on the roof, or at least has a great view of the city, harbour or other sights.

There are four InterContinental hotels that currently include lounge access when booking the Virtuoso rate, as well as other additional services.

Two restaurants, including what is reputedly “London’s best Italian” and a full-service spa cater to your physical well-being.
