We stayed at the Intercontinental for three nights...

We stayed at the Intercontinental for three nights as part of our holiday. I can honestly say it is the nicest hotel I have stayed in.
We have 2 children who were made to feel special and not regarded as inconvenient. They were given a quiz on arrival and encouraged to access all areas of the hotel to find the answers, no stuffiness here!! Despite this however, the hotel feels luxurious, spotlessly clean, modern and calm, which after a day in the city was a welcome antidote. Rooms were well equipped and beds comfy. Bath and separate shower was welcome. The pool area was super and ,although we didn't visit, the spa looked gorgeous too. The bars had incredible views and an air of class.
Fabulous accessibility to O2. We wanted to see the sights of London and caught the river bus up the Thames each day which was a short walk from the hotel. A great way to see London as well as accessibility to all major attractions, we much preferred this to catching the tube.
Our room looked over the Thames and Canary Wharf which was great, especially at night when the lights came on...beautiful.
Breakfast was an absolute feast, so much choice, all freshly prepared and cooked and being constantly restocked and quality controlled. We lingered over breakfast, it was that good.
Probably the best part of our stay though was the staff. They were all wonderful, smiley, efficient, friendly to the children and so welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they went out of their way to speak to guests. Absolutely fabulous.
I cannot recommend this hotel enough, just loved it.
