Best InterContinental Hotels & Resorts

Occupying an 18th-century palace that sprawls an entire block in the heart of Porto, this InterContinental property is set in a great location. The hotel is just a short walk from the city's famous cathedral (Sé do Porto) and the riverfront, where you can take in Porto's iconic Dom Luís I Bridge. Other sights, such as the Crystal Palace Gardens and Dragão Stadium, are accessible by subway via the nearby São Bento metro station. Recent guests especially appreciated the InterContinental Porto's proximity to the Estação de São Bento train station and raved about the hotel's service and accommodations. All rooms come with minibars, free internet access and LCD TVs, while upgraded suites are two levels and include two bathrooms and separate living areas. A spa is available for treatments like body scrubs, wraps, massages and facials.  An English library-inspired bar and a contemporary Portuguese restaurant round out the hotel's additional features.

The InterContinental Dublin is a little removed from the city, sitting on 2 acres of land about 3 miles south in the neighborhood of Ballsbridge. The hotel houses 197 rooms and suites, all of which offer views of the gardens, neighborhood or Dublin skyline; marble bathrooms with separate tubs and showers; and free Wi-Fi access. When it's time for a meal, travelers can enjoy Seasons Restaurant for breakfast or dinner. If it's just a cocktail you seek, head to The Lobby Lounge. And The Reading Room is where visitors gather for lunch and afternoon tea. A spa and a health club with a fitness center, an indoor pool and saunas are also available on-site. Overall, guests were impressed with the service at the hotel, despite shortcomings in some accommodations.

The massive Willard sits at the heart of everything D.C.; the National Mall and all of the most recognizable monuments are within walking distance. And recent guests say The Willard InterContinental's inside is just as impressive as its surroundings, particularly the massive marble columns and intricate chandeliers in the lobby. Elegant decor extends to The Willard's accommodations, which feature eye-popping red accents, wood furnishings and luxurious amenities like flat-screen TVs, individual climate controls and fully stocked minibars. To ensure a restful night's sleep, request a room that looks west, facing the Washington Monument rather than 14th Street. And after a long day of sightseeing, you can relax at the Elizabeth Arden Red Door Spa or grab a bite to eat at one of the on-site reastaurants. If you participate in InterContinental's Rewards Club, you can accrue or redeem free perks and discounts by choosing to stay here.

Guests consistently praise this Intercontinental for its impeccable service, great amenities and historic, palatial interiors. Though it's a bit removed from the city in the Weesperzijde neighborhood, the hotel's address didn't seem to faze recent guests, who enjoyed the property's quiet atmosphere. Rooms here are pristine and classic, fitting in with the building's 19th-century roots. Along with antique furniture and French wallpaper, guests can expect to find stocked minibars, flat-screen TVs with DVD players, luxury bath amenities, Illy coffee makers and 24-hour room service. And here, dining is an attraction all its own. The hotel's signature restaurant, La Rive, gets high praise for its fine French-Mediterranean fare. The hotel also has a more casual spot, the Amstel Brasserie, a lounge and bar that serves lunch and dinner. The hotel also features a fitness center for those looking for a little rejuvenation in between sightseeing. Guests can unwind at the indoor pool, get their blood pumping with the help of a personal trainer or simply indulge in a massage.

Recent guests seem to expect excellence from InterContinental hotels. And this iteration — which sits at the heart of the ritzy Buckhead area — certainly delivers. In fact, many who've stayed here say this property is a perfect balance of luxury and convenience. Accommodations at the InterContinental Buckhead Atlanta feature a hint of Old World decor, but the amenities are up to date: Expect to find flat-screen TVs and high-speed Internet access (for a fee). This InterContinental hotel also impresses with its regional cuisine, served in an inviting atmosphere in the Southern Art Restaurant. And boasting both a fitness center and spa, this hotel is determined to help you stay in shape. What's more, previous guests say the warmth can be found throughout the hotel thanks to its welcoming staff. If you're a member of the IHG Rewards Club, you can earn or redeem rewards here.

When it comes to luxurious lodging, you can count on InterContinental – and its Boston branch is no exception, boasting a wide variety of amenities, including a bounty of spa services and several on-site restaurants. The InterContinental also serves as the perfect home base for family travelers; it's located just a short walk from the harbor, the Boston Children's Museum, and the New England Aquarium. Plus the elegant accommodations, which feature a warm beige and yellow color scheme and upscale amenities, such as flat-screen TVs, minibars and waterfront and skyline views, win over guests consistently. If you frequent InterContinental properties and take part in the company's IHG Rewards Club program, you may earn extra perks, such as free stays and discounts, by choosing to stay here.

Situated inside the tallest building west of Chicago, the InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown boasts breathtaking views of the Los Angeles skyline. The 73-story property, which opened in July 2017, is a modern architectural marvel, but recent guests have mixed feelings about its design. Some past visitors praised the contemporary room interiors, while others lamented their malfunctioning room keys and the elevator system (which requires switching elevators to reach certain floors). Standard room amenities include separate showers and tubs, minibars, Keurig coffee makers and 49-inch HD TVs. Outside the accommodations, travelers will find an outdoor pool, a hot tub, a separate childrens area, a 24-hour fitness center and multiple fire pits. There are also five eateries, including a French steakhouse, a buffet, a lobby lounge, a sushi restaurant and Spire73, the tallest open-air bar in the Western Hemisphere. What's more, this hotel is part of the InterContinental Hotels & Resorts family, so members of the IHG Rewards Club can earn or redeem points while staying here.

A member of the IHG Hotels family, this sprawling resort on Cozumel, Mexico's west coast promises island visitors a stylish, yet casual getaway. And according to previous guests, this InterContinental property delivers. Flanked by half a mile of sugary shoreline, swaying palm trees and the gargantuan Palancar Reef, the InterContinental Presidente Cozumel Resort & Spa houses 220 spacious guest rooms complete with eye-catching blue or red and orange accents, flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi access and private balconies or terraces. Out on the grounds, visitors can swim in the outdoor pools, practice their backhand on the tennis courts or unwind at the Spa. (If you're traveling with kids in tow, you should spend some looking for iguanas around the property.) Guests also praise the cuisine served at the resort's four dining venues, but most visitors credit their positive experiences at this resort to the Presidente Cozumel's employees. Previous travelers said that the staff here is nothing short of friendly and helpful. And keep in mind, if you're an IHG Rewards Club member, you can use or earn points at this brand's outpost.

Connected to the Metro Toronto Convention Centre and steps from some of Toronto's vibrant nightlife and entertainment, the InterContinental Toronto Centre boasts luxury accommodations for business travelers and vacationers alike. Each guest room is outfitted with 42-inch TVs, Sony iHome stations and Keurig coffee makers. Guests say that the staff – attentive, responsive and cheery –adds to the hotel's charm. The full-service AVEDA concept spa is also popular among travelers, namely for its 48-foot heated pool. Enjoy a meal at the hotel’s Azure Restaurant & Bar, where a menu of gourmet Canadian cuisine is served. What's more, members of the IHG Rewards Club can earn and redeem points here.

The InterContinental The Clement Monterey's location on Cannery Row is hard to beat. Guests appreciate the hotel's proximity to shopping, restaurants and attractions like the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Described as a home-away-from-home by some, this InterContinental property also features a health club, pool and oceanfront patio. Guest rooms here are spacious and well-lit, boasting excellent views of Monterey Bay and housing such amenities as plasma TVs, minibars and spa-style bathrooms. But before you retire for the evening, grab a bite to eat at the C restaurant, which garners good reviews for its seafood entrees. Because of its family ties, this hotel participates in the IHG Rewards Club, allowing members to earn points that can be used to cover stays in the future.

Situated within the fashionable Polanco district, the InterContinental Presidente Mexico City is a prime hub for business travelers. Yet with its deluxe Hela Spa and close proximity to some of Mexico City's top restaurants and shops, tourists will find their needs met here, too. Past guests note that the guest rooms could benefit from a facelift, but thanks to ongoing renovations (upgrades began in 2014), many accommodations have been remodeled. Travelers especially recommed booking a corner room facing the park to mitigate disruptive outside noise and enjoy impressive Chapultepec Park vistas. Regardless of which room you choose, you can count on staple amenities like minibars, coffee makers, rainfall showers, flat-screen TVs and views of the city skyline or park. And while this InterContinental property boasts six eateries (including the New York City-style The Palm Restaurant), lodgers recommend exploring around the neighborhood to sample authentic Mexican fare. If you're an IHG Rewards Club member, you can accrue or redeem points by choosing to bed down here.

The InterContinental Chicago Magnificent Mile still has touches of its historic 1929 incarnation as the Medinah Athletic Club. The original hand-stenciled ceilings and tapestries continue to adorn the lobby, while rooms in the Historic Tower have Old World features like vintage patterns and gold accents. And though much of the original athletic club's facilities were reconfigured to make way for the hotel's amenities, the junior Olympic swimming pool (in all its vintage opulence) remains. Still, this Chicago hotel has kept up with the times: Guest rooms come equipped with high-speed internet access (for a fee), flat-screen TVs and minibars. In addition to this InterContinental's antique charm, recent visitors also laud the hotel's mid-Magnificent Mile locale and its exceptional staff. The only thing travelers lamented was the fee for in-room Wi-Fi and the pricey charge for on-site parking. The Eno wine bar, however, earns praise from discerning diners for its master sommelier selections, and travelers also appreciate the hearty plates served at Michael Jordan's Steakhouse. The icing on the cake: Members of the IHG Rewards Club loyalty program can earn points by staying here or cash in rewards to help cover the cost of their stay.

Previous visitors praised the InterContinental Cleveland for its reasonable room rates, easy access to the Cleveland Clinic and tasty cuisine served at on-site eateries, North Coast Café and Table 45. As far as bedding down is concerned, you can rest assured that you'll have high-end room amenities, like goose down comforters, 300-thread-count Egyptian cotton linens, lavish bath products and sleek flat-screen TVs. As an added bonus, if you're a frequent guest of InterContinental properties, you're eligible to receive free perks, such as free nights' stays through the company's IHG Rewards Club. The hotel's only drawback, according to some recent guests, is its subpar cleaning service. And since the hotel sits on the Cleveland Clinic Health System campus, it's highly frequented by hospital visitors and patients. As such, and due to its zero-tolerance noise policy at night, this hotel should not be your top choice for raucous weekends or rowdy birthday parties.

Originally opened in 1926 as one of four hotels built during the expansion of Grand Central Terminal, the InterContinental New York Barclay reopened its doors in April 2016 after undergoing an extensive two-year restoration. Now, this historical InterContinental property (which once welcomed notable guests like Perle Mesta and Ernest Hemingway) combines traditional Federalist decor and local 1920s-inspired artwork with modern touches like bold accent colors and a fully equipped fitness center. All of the hotel's 733 guest rooms and suites come with custom Anichini bedding, flat-screen TVs and subway tiled-bathrooms, while the upgraded Presidential Suite offers additional perks like a private fitness center, a baby grand piano and a library office. Most former guests appreciated their rooms' decor and amount of space, though some bemoaned poor water pressure in the showers. No matter which accommodation you choose, you'll enjoy access to The Gin Parlour (where 80-plus premium gins are served alongside international dishes made with sustainable, organic ingredients), a business center and 20,000 square feet of meeting and event space. Plus, travelers who pay an additional daily fee (which ranges from $80 to $120) can access the Club InterContinental, a lobby lounge that offers free Wi-Fi access, personalized reception services and complimentary breakfast, among other amenities. Keep in mind that IHG Rewards Club members can also earn or redeem points when staying here.

Like its Century City neighbor, the Hyatt Regency, the InterContinental Los Angeles Century City is a reasonably priced hotel. But this property has a few more luxurious, resort-like perks than its competition. Rooms here feature coffee makers, balconies, flat-screen TVs, and walk-in showers with soaking tubs. This impressive property houses a gym, outdoor infinity pool and full-service spa, not to mention plenty of meeting space. Guests praise the strong drinks and fresh sushi served up at the on-site restaurant, Mari. Unfortunately, parking was a pain for the InterContinental's recent guests: Visitors say you'll face exorbitant fees regardless of whether you choose to pay for valet service or self-parking ($46.20 per night). But members of the IHG Rewards Club can redeem rewards at this InterContinental property, such as free nights' stays.
