Having gained independence in 1991 following the breakup of the Soviet Union, Uzbekistan is a young country. But the roots of this vast land are ancient.
For centuries, this area of land was a major crossroads along the Silk Road – an age-old trading route that stretched all the way from China to the Mediterranean. Samarkand, one of three major cities dotted along the road, contains so many architectural feats from this period that it has been classed entirely as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. See for yourself at the Registan, a wide plaza bordered by three mosaic-covered madrassas (religious schools) with bright turquoise domes. To the west, Bukhara offers similarly impressive landmarks, including the ruins of a 5th-century royal compound known as the Ark, while the walled city of Khiva further north is the most remote but best-preserved of the Silk Road cities. Here you’ll find stunning mosques, mausoleums and palaces towering over a labyrinth of streets. But there’s more to Uzbekistan than ancient history. Tashkent, the urban capital in the eastern region, is refreshingly cosmopolitan, while in the far north you can visit the Aral Sea – formerly one of the world’s largest lakes now on the verge of disappearing completely.
Hotels and guesthouses are aplenty in the capital, as well as in the Silk Road cities. Accommodation is quite limited elsewhere.

We didn't like, we loved everything! The attention of the staff is exceptional (and we have visited a few countries and hotels, so we have some baseline to compare
), the hotel and the room is beautiful, clean, very unique, the breakfast delicious. The whole stay was an experience that added a lot of positive vibe to our travel in Uzebkistan. Thank you!

Guest review
We had a very comfortable stay at the hotel. Great bedding, clean room. Hotel facilities are well maintained though we did not tried it ourselves but we noticed that there’s always hotel guests using them. Walkable distance to Registan Square. The staff were very attentive, helpful and are able to converse well in English. As our train is in the late pm, the hotel was flexible and kind, granting us a late check out until 2pm (standard check out time is 12noon).

InterContinental Tashkent by IHG is a 5-star property situated in Tashkent. Featuring a restaurant, the property also has a bar, as well as a hot tub and a hammam.
Guest review
Attention to client, breakfast and room - all were superb,
We took a suite 65m2 for three adults, the hotel prepared a bed out of sofa for the 3rd adult, the room was spacious so it all worked perfectly.
We came in the late evening just to sleep and leave early but the hotel still was able to use those short hours to make a strong quality statement for us. Thanks to the efforts of their staff the hotel exceeded our expectations. we felt welcomed and cozy there.
P.s.Having Byredo brand for bath amenities was appreciated
