The Property — InterContinental Tashkent
The InterContinental Tashkent is a three-star business hotel with a marble-floored lobby, a hushed, efficient atmosphere and a central location near Amir Timur Square. It suits business travellers or short-stop guests who value reliability, fast check-in and a solid breakfast buffet over character or local colour. The vibe is corporate international: clean lines, dark wood, polite staff in uniforms.
Chronicles of Tashkent
Tashkent was an ancient Silk Road settlement, but its modern character was forged in 1966 when a devastating earthquake levelled much of the old city. Rebuilt in grand Soviet style, it now mixes wide boulevards, brutalist blocks and a restored old quarter of madrasas and mausoleums around Chorsu Bazaar. Since independence in 1991, the city has added glass towers, a new metro extension and a confident, Central Asian cosmopolitan identity. Today, it feels like a quiet, orderly capital where Soviet design meets Islamic heritage and nascent modernity.
Best Time to Visit
Full Tashkent guide →Best months
April, May and September: warm days (20–25°C), low humidity, clear skies for sightseeing without the summer heat. Trees are green in April–May; harvest markets are full in September.
Peak / festival surge
June to August: daytime temperatures often hit 35–40°C. July is the hottest month, with occasional dusty winds. Hotel prices rise 20–30% in July as regional conferences and oil/energy sector travellers fill business hotels.
Budget shoulder season
March and October: mild weather (10–18°C), fewer tourists, 15–25% lower room rates. March can still feel wintry; October has crisp, golden afternoons perfect for walking the city's parks.
Weather & packing
Tashkent's July afternoons are furnace-hot, but evenings cool sharply by 10–12°C. Pack lightweight linen or cotton for the day and a light jacket or cardigan for dinner outdoors.
Live City Briefing — Tashkent
- Tashkent's metro now accepts contactless bank cards and Apple Pay at all stations; you no longer need to queue for a token card. Ticket machines have English menus.
- A section of Amir Timur Avenue near the hotel is closed for tree-planting and new paving until September; some bus stops have shifted, so ask the concierge about drop-off spots for taxis.
- The annual Tashkent International Jazz Festival runs 5–7 July 2026, with evening performances at the State Conservatory and open-air concerts in Navoi Park, 15 minutes' walk from the hotel.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to InterContinental Tashkent, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 4 or 5 facing the inner courtyard (away from Shahrisabz ko'chasi). These floors avoid street-level noise and are high enough for a decent view without being near the top-floor lift machinery. The courtyard side is noticeably quieter.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid any room on floor 1 or 2 facing the street, as traffic noise from Shahrisabz ko'chasi carries clearly. Also avoid rooms near the lift shaft (usually in the centre of each floor) — the lift sounds its arrival bell until late. Stay away from the end of corridors closest to the service stairwell, where housekeeping trolleys and staff chatter begin by 7am.
Best views
Rooms with windows facing the garden courtyard (south-east orientation) offer a peaceful view of planted grounds and maybe a glimpse of the distant Chorsu market dome. Street-facing rooms give you a direct look at Shahrisabz ko'chasi and its constant flow of taxis and minibuses — interesting for 10 minutes, tiring for sleep.
Quietest floors
Floors 3, 4 and 5. These are above most street-level noise but below the top floor where the air-conditioning plant and possibly a rooftop bar generate hum.
🔊 Noise notes
Shahrisabz ko'chasi is a main secondary road, not a residential cul-de-sac. Early morning deliveries to the hotel's side entrance (likely off that road) start around 6:30am. The lobby lounge sometimes has live music on weekends until 11pm, but this rarely reaches upper floors. If you're on the courtyard side, you might hear the air-conditioning condenser units on the building's rear wall.
Insider tips
1. If you're driving, ask reception to guide you to the hotel's gated parking lot behind the building — on-street parking on Shahrisabz is tight and often taken by market traders. 2. Request a room with a bath rather than only a walk-in shower: the InterContinental Tashkent's bath towels are generously sized, and a soak is welcome after a day in Tashkent's dry heat.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Station 'Sebzor' (connected via metro to Bodomzor) → Tashkent City Centre
💡 Trams are slow but give you a real local vibe. Line 1 passes through older neighbourhoods with tree-lined streets. Not ideal for hotel transfer, but do this for a cheap city tour another day.
Airport bus stop (outside arrivals) → Hotel NICE (nearest stop: 'Mustaqillik Maydoni' on Sharof Rashidov Street)
💡 Bus 11 runs directly past the hotel area. Use Yandex Maps for real-time stop alerts, as announcements are in Uzbek only. Have small change or a transport card.
Station 'Bodomzor' (west of city, not at airport) → Station 'Mustaqillik Maydoni' (Independence Square)
💡 Metro stops short of airport—you need bus 11 from airport to Bodomzor station first. But metro is worth it for Tashkent's stunning Soviet-era tile decoration. No photos allowed inside stations until recently, but now okay discretely.
Islam Karimov Tashkent International Airport (TAS) → Hotel NICE (near Mustaqillik Maydoni)
💡 Book via Yandex Go app for fixed price; avoid drivers inside the terminal who quote 3x more. Stand near the exit gate for better GPS signal.

Top Attractions in Tashkent
💡 Go early morning (8-9am) to see the bread coming fresh from the tandyr ovens. Free to walk around but carry small sums for a cup of tea or a samsa.
💡 Sit on a bench near the fountain side around 5pm when locals gather. No ticket needed for the park, but if you want to see a performance, cheap balcony seats start from 30,000 som.
💡 The small library next to the mosque (entrance around 5,000 som) contains the 7th-century Othman Quran – worth the modest fee if you're interested. Best visited at sunset for golden light on the tiles.
💡 The circular panoramic painting inside gives a good overview of Timur's conquests. Avoid weekends when school groups arrive.
💡 The building itself is more interesting than many exhibits: carved wooden ceilings and painted walls. Go on a weekday afternoon to have the place almost to yourself. There's a small cafe in the courtyard.
