Yes, this hotel was a definite extravagance--BUT--We loved it! Everyone needs to feel special from time to time, and everything about the hotel says "You are special!"
Fluffy white bathrobes, overstuffed bed comforters, fine quality shampoos, lotions and scented soaps all contribute to the feel of luxury we experienced during our stay at the Inter-Continental Hotel.
Rooms are extremely comfortable with huge closets, cozy bed linens and comforters, and CLEAN carpeted floors! (So often in Europe, I find clean rooms with ''nasty'' carpets!!) TV, Room Service and Telephone Services were the best, of course!
Our room overlooked the Stadtpark (City Park) and each morning we awoke to the sound of the birds in the park across the street. Tour services are readily available from the hotel and many tours start here. Cab service is available to and from the hotel--normal charges apply.
The hotel has a comfortable bar and an extravagant pastry shop where you can order light meals or snacks. This is a wonderful hotel!!! Special touches like a well-lighted make-up mirror, tastefully framed prints, hand made Belgium Chocolates on your pillow at bedtime all make the stay worthwhile. The pleasant staff members all speak English and you will have no language problem. A magnificent place to stay if you want or need some luxury!
