InterContinental Kyiv

The InterContinental name carries weight around the world, and in Kyiv it represents one of the best hotels in the city. Its location is outstanding, in the historic centre next to St Sophia’s and St Michael’s cathedrals and close to the business district.

The rooms

I stayed in a King Deluxe Room overlooking the square. Rooms include a parking space, a free minibar with tea and coffee, a flat-screen TV, a convenient workstation and fast, free Wi-Fi. The marble bathroom has a separate bath and shower.

Dining and drinks

Olivera, the Italian restaurant, serves breakfast; Comme Il Faut is a Parisian-style brasserie with a summer terrace; and B-Hush offers trendy Asian fusion. The lobby bar is open throughout the day.

Spa and facilities

SPA InterContinental maintains the brand’s high standards, with a gym, swimming pool and saunas. Business guests have a business centre and well-equipped conference rooms, and there are boutiques in the lobby.

The verdict

Service is discreet but always on hand. With its classic rooms, strong dining and unbeatable position, the InterContinental is a top choice in Kyiv.
