The Hotel Bed is a Battlefield at the Intercontinental Palazzo
What do Luciano Pavarotti, Will Smith, the Black Eyed Peas, Arnold Schwarzenegger and the Manchester soccer team have in common? They've all stayed at the Intercontinental Palazzo Hotel in Johannesburg, which means it must be good enough for us, too. Hotel reviewer John Grant felt the same way so he took his wife there for a romantic getaway as the hotel offers quite the package now through December 31st.
If you're looking for romance fit for Pavrotti or even Fergie then check out this deal: King bed Suite, full English breakfast, floating candles in the bath, in-room fruit and chocolate platter, bottle of sparkling wine, and a "gift" from the hotel. With this full recipe for love, the next question is obvious--how's the bed?
Our room was a standard room with warm colours and a comfortable king-size bed - much appreciated at our age as it allows you that full stretch without pushing your partner off the bed. Actually, there is nothing quite like the feel of cool, crisp white hotel sheets with enough pillows to sink a battle ship. I suppose, in some ways, a bed might be considered a battlefield of a kind, or alternatively, a romantic bower.
That last part may have just been a bit too much information.
Anyhow, the only fault John Grant found with the place was the lack of seating at breakfast the following morning. But if the bed is so good, we wonder why he didn't just opt to eat breakfast in it?
