The hotel is very pleasant for location, staff, club lounge and spa.
Renovation of the room would be more than welcome.
Lobby area has been renovated but in a questionable style.
Restaurant area has been renovated in a pleasant style.

It would be great that Autoban, which has designed the Flamingo restaurant at the hotel (and some of nicest properties in town), will make the complete renovation of the InterContinental Istanbul.
