Frommer's Review

The InterContinental is the place for business travelers. This luxury behemoth has every amenity and every in-room convenience--from wireless and in-room Internet to fine fitness, health, and beauty services. The downside is the location; the self-contained hotel is pretty far from the city's action. Rooms are done in tidy carpet, dark wood furnishings, patterned couches, striped raw silk curtains that match the spreads on the king-size beds, and marble detailing in the entryways. Everything is large and luxe and beds are fluffy and comfortable. Well-appointed bathrooms have separate showers and tubs with Art Deco faucets. Oak desks and floor-to-ceiling windows give guests that "power broker" feel (even if you're just a small fish). The large outdoor pool has an Angkor Wat water park theme to it; there are stone carving decorations, and a red stone fountain of three elephant heads is the centerpiece. There is, however, an elegant water-level bar, and the Clark Hatch fitness center is the best in town. Dining is fine Chinese and Western. The lobby is pure marble opulence, dotted with gold columns here and there; the staff is super efficient and professional. Executive check-in comes with an addition of just $18 (£10), and services in the fine executive lounge are certainly worth it. The Regency Suite is fit for kings, literally. Toto, I don't think we're in Cambodia anymore.

Facilities: 2 restaurants; bar; 2 snack bars; outdoor pool; great fitness center; spa; sauna; children's playroom; concierge; tour desk; car rental; business center; shopping; room service; babysitting; laundry service; dry cleaning; banquet facilities; Internet

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
