I had a wonderful stay at the InterContinental Hotel in Istanbul. The hotel was very clean, and the lobby made a great first impression — grand and beautifully designed. The staff were extremely polite and helpful throughout my stay. The location was excellent, just behind Taksim Square, making it easy to reach many of the city’s main attractions on foot. Room service was available 24 hours and was excellent. Although I didn’t have the chance to use all the amenities, they looked fantastic. I would highly recommend this hotel.

A superb hotel!

I travel frequently and stay at the best places. The Intercontinental Istanbul is one of the top 3 hotels I've stayed at in the last 10 years. Everyone is helpful, professional, and smiles when approached. The lobby, the garden outside, the rooftop bar and the restaurant have spectacular views and top notch food, drinks, and wine. I am coming back and bringing the rest of my family.
