Lovely every time.

I love staying at the Intercontinental - the ease of staying here is second only to the amazing care and service. Really above and beyond! The breakfast is terrific and quick if you need it to be. The gym being open 24 hours is a huge bonus with late night international arrivals. And total professionalism throughout. Thank you for making a day or two of work and being in transit to Botswana something to look forward to every time.
