Planning a visit to Almaty and looking for a place to stay? No doubt the first thing that comes to anyone's mind is Tripadvisor with the ratings and hints by other travelers. You can check information on any of the 45 available hotels in Almaty, both big and small properties. You will find ratings, stars, hints, complaints, appreciations, and rates.
Let's observe the market of the most popular hotels here. I bet many hotel names will not even ring a bell for you, so the list below is made of international brands or consortia.
5*
So, if you have enough cash or your company pays for luxury services, go for 5 stars, InterContinental Hotel (IHG Group), Royal Tulip (Holland brand), and Rixos (Turkish brand).
So, InterContinental is said to be the best in terms of services. The property is beautiful. The hotel was the first itnernational brand in Almaty. It has been number 1 on Tripadvisor for a long time until recently. Free wi-fi available, plus three on-site restaurants.
Royal Tulip is pretty new, huge hotel on the way to the mountains. Beautiful panorama but quite far from the downtown.
Rixos is in downtown, it has an amazing lobby full of light because of the glass roof. Nice atmosphere.
These three hotels are quite comparable in terms of their amenities and facilities.
4*
If you are looking for a more moderate option, let's have a look at 4-stars. Currently there is only one international mid-scale hotel in the area - Holiday Inn Almaty (IHG Group). It is located centrally and ideal for businessmen. Free wi-fi is available in all areas.
Worldhotels Saltanat is another new hotel, modern style, 60 rooms. Quite popular and is number 1 on Tripadvisor.
You can always check the reviews on Tripadvisor, or booking.com or directly the websites, and social media (facebook or twitter).
