Once situated and refreshed, we met up at the lounge for Happy Hour.
A well presented albeit limited selection of foods and beverages. The Club Lounge was a cozy space to enjoy our hotel’s amenities and commence our travel companions’ first international trip with us.
The room affords views of the world famous WestLake, telescope for effect.
Club access is nice when needed. Access can also detract from the travel experience though. After all, we travel to try new food venues and explore new eats.
Sometimes, it’s difficult to leave food on the table so to speak, by not taking full advantage of the perks.
Fortunately, we get comped access because of our preferred chain (IHG)’s loyalty program. If you do pay for the upgrade, just be sure you’ll use the facility fully.
