Excellent location and impeccable service. Close to metro station at Taksim square accessible to all major attractions. Staff at check in Desk went above and beyond. Concierge very helpful to arrange Bosporus cruise . Breakfast was fantastic and was included in the room, it is a standard in Istanbul. Very nice people and beautiful city. Will definitely come back and stay with intercontinental again. One of the best stays with Expedia over the past 5 years and maybe 10 years.

InterContinental Istanbul – Where Elegance Meets Unforgettable Views My experience at InterContinental Istanbul was exceptional from start to finish. Perfectly located near Taksim Square, the hotel offers sweeping views of the Bosphorus and the city skyline—especially stunning at sunrise and sunset. The rooms are spacious, elegant, and comfortable, with every detail thoughtfully arranged. The staff were professional, kind, and always ready to assist with a smile, making the entire stay smooth and enjoyable. Breakfast was a true highlight—fresh, diverse, and delicious, with both local flavors and international favorites. Whether you’re in Istanbul for business or leisure, InterContinental blends luxury with warm hospitality in the heart of this vibrant city. A stay that’s both restful and inspiring—I’d return in a heartbeat.

Great hotel with wonderful staff. The breakfast was a great way to start each day, with a great selection of items and personalised omelettes available and well worth adding in, as was a room with a spectacular view across the Bosporus. The pool was lovely for moments of relaxation with very attentive pool staff. As for location, if you're comfortable jumping on the metro or trams nearby, you're only about 20-30mins away from some of the main tourist attractions such as the Hagia Sophia. The public transport was easy to navigate and very reasonably priced! The rooftop bar is worth a visit to withgreat views over Istanbul!
