  My wife and I recently stayed at the Kimpton Monaco in Philadelphia. We were lucky to get a suite for 55k points in the confused upload of Kimpton rewards availability. All I can say is that it was a pleasure to stay there. Wonderful hotel in a great city. Kimpton wine hour is something more hotels should adopt.

    I was at Kimpton Monaco Chicago last month in an upgraded river view room. Overall, very decent though the leopard skin robe not quite to my tastes. I’d stay at the brand again.

  It is a good offer.
  However the brand new Holiday Inn Express in Amsyerdam is bookable for 20000 points which is an even better value.

  I have booked a stay there coming up in a months time.

    Surely you are comparing apples with pears. Completely different level of hotel and comparing a cash rate with a reward rate.

      You are correct, and this time it is really worth to compare those apples to oranges because the apples are so cheap.

      I needed a nice hotel in Amsterdam. And whilst normally I would not stay in a Holiday Inn Express, it is so cheap (20000 points), and actually one of the prettiest one out there, that I would recommend to book this instead of the Kimpton.

      Interestingly the 2 hotels cash rates are similar but on some days the Holiday Inn is more expensive.

      If you are booking with cash, the Kimpton is a no brainer.
      If you have points, skip the Kimpton and go with Holiday Inn Express.

        I haven’t stayed at HIE or Kimpton, but I’m confident that the Amstel gets my vote everytime. And I’m heading back there in August for my second trip this year.

      I think there are quite a few people who (for a better price) just want a clean, “chain” standard hotel room… Especially well located ones in capital cities.

  I stayed at the De Witt last summer And thought it was a very good hotel.

  Lots of Americans though on tour groups all with badges that say “HI! Ny name is xxxx” and all their life documents in a pouch around their necks though!

  The evening wine / nibbles reception was also very good with proper finger food not just crisps etc

  Good location between Amsterdam Centraal Station and Dam Square so very good location.

  I’ve been clicking on the special link but nothing happens. It takes me to IHG page which gives me t&cs and says I can book via HfP link but I can’t do anything else. Am I missing something?

    It could be clearer, I admit.

    When you click the link there is a booking box on the page. Search for the hotel via that box, book and you’ll get the extra 5000 points. You’ll see some extra code in the URL – this is what tells IHG you clicked through from the offer page. We can fix this easily with IHG if you use the special link, book and there are any issues.
