The Intercontinental Hotel
« on: May 16, 2018, 06:41:27 AM »
I did a search on google and they are taking reservations in October, so seems they are on track for a fall opening .  However, price is well over $500/night.

In case anyone wants to check out The InterContinental's hotel website for San Diego:

Hmmm... I wonder if CCI will negotiate a deal with them for their hotel block for Comic-Con 2019...

Forum Housekeeping:

Added "Hotel" to the title to clarify what this discussion is for at a quick glance.

Moved thread from "Off-Topic Chat" to "SDCC Housing, Parking, and Transportation" (where our hotel threads are housed).  When the Pendry was opened up, its discussion thread was originally created in there (by a forum member), so in the meantime, we'll keep it there for now as well.  Thanks!

By the waterfront.  Distance wise, somewhere between Wyndham and Embassy Suites.

It's about a 1 mile walk to the convention center. Not so bad. I'm all for more hotels to lodge more attendees.

YEESH.  And that's at non-convention times.  I'm horrified to think about how jacked up the price would be during the con.

Maybe not so bad. Look at the Del Coronado. They want $600 per night booking through them for various dates throughout the summer, but are $300-ish through the con rates.

Good to know! I had no idea.  Hotel Del is darn fancy, too.

When I saw this thread pop up I thought it was about the new tv series set in the John Wickiverse. But that's the CONTINENTAL, my bad.

The prices have gone down now and it’s 281 on the site for the opening period.

Very curious if it becomes part of the block next year.

Most likely will. Spoke to someone involved with Comic Con who said they were going to try and negotiate a block of rooms with the hotel.

It’s supposed to be a luxury fancy hotel. The 500 range might be for the bigger suites.

At first glance.. I thought this was the hotel John Wick was staying at but I was wrong.... Although it would have been more interesting next year at Comic Con if that was the case....

I would love to stay at Hotel Del and those rates are awesome but love being close to the convention center  :(
