The rooms feature a flat-screen satellite TV, an iPod docking station, minibar, tea-and-coffee maker and safety deposit box. Each air-conditioned room features luxurious bathrobes and Egyptian cotton sheets.

The room was impeccably clean and neat. I liked the ultra-modern electrical “touch” switches, especially the electrical opening/closing of the curtains. Similarly, instead of a “Do Not Disturb” sign, there was a “Privacy” switch which lit up a small light outside the room for the housekeeping staff. I had to eat my own diet breakfast in my room and the hotel facilitated this by giving me plates and cutlery. The shower (handheld as well as rainfall) worked well. There is a food court servicing the three adjoining hotels and casino.

Also the local pastries in the morning were a big highlight besides the honour bar. Only a couple of minutes from central station. There was really nothing to complain about!

    The staff truly make the intercontinental a wonderful experience. Our room was clean, except for a half drink bottle of water in the ‘sealed for your protection’ fridge- which we were charged for 😂 The facilities were lovely, the coffee was not, but the happy, smiling staff made it a lovely weekend away. I hope management appreciates its staff, they can make a dreary rainy day seem lovely in a city that’s doing it’s best to make a pandemic tolerable. 5 stars to the staff, a luxury you never knew toy needed.
