The InterContinental Almaty, an IHG Hotel, occupies one of the most prestigious addresses in Kazakhstan’s largest city, positioned along Zheltoksan Street directly opposite the Presidential Palace and Republic Square. Surrounded by the city’s leafy boulevards, elegant parks, and framed by sweeping views of the snow-capped Alatau range, it’s an evocative backdrop that ties the modern metropolis to its mountainous frontier. Only about twenty minutes by car from Almaty International Airport, the hotel offers both convenience and sophistication for travellers.
The Guest Rooms embody understated European elegance blended with local influences. Measuring approximately 32 square metres, they come furnished with either a king-sized bed or two twin beds, and offer a mix of city or mountain views. Each room includes individually controlled air-conditioning, high-speed Wi-Fi, and a well-lit work desk. Amenities extend to a flat-screen television, minibar, coffee and tea facilities, in-room safe, iron and ironing board, and a selection of plush bathrobes and slippers. Soundproofed windows, black-out curtains, and a pillow menu ensure a restful night’s sleep.
The hotel’s facilities are extensive and reflect the InterContinental’s reputation for full-service hospitality. At its heart lies the Ankara Spa & Health Club, a serene retreat featuring an indoor swimming pool, Turkish bath, sauna, steam room, and a range of rejuvenating treatments from massages to body scrubs and wraps. The fitness centre offers modern equipment along with yoga and aerobics spaces, while outdoor tennis courts and nearby cycling and hiking opportunities appeal to active guests. For dining, the hotel presents a cosmopolitan array of venues: the Asian Café serves an international buffet throughout the day, the Bosphorus Restaurant offers refined Turkish cuisine, and the Belvedere Grill Room—perched on the tenth floor—pairs French-inspired dishes with panoramic views over the city and mountains. Evenings often flow into the elegant lobby bar, an ideal setting for networking or quiet relaxation after a hard day touring.
