Having gained independence in 1991 following the breakup of the Soviet Union, Uzbekistan is a young country. But the roots of this vast land are ancient.
For centuries, this area of land was a major crossroads along the Silk Road – an age-old trading route that stretched all the way from China to the Mediterranean. Samarkand, one of three major cities dotted along the road, contains so many architectural feats from this period that it has been classed entirely as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. See for yourself at the Registan, a wide plaza bordered by three mosaic-covered madrassas (religious schools) with bright turquoise domes. To the west, Bukhara offers similarly impressive landmarks, including the ruins of a 5th-century royal compound known as the Ark, while the walled city of Khiva further north is the most remote but best-preserved of the Silk Road cities. Here you’ll find stunning mosques, mausoleums and palaces towering over a labyrinth of streets. But there’s more to Uzbekistan than ancient history. Tashkent, the urban capital in the eastern region, is refreshingly cosmopolitan, while in the far north you can visit the Aral Sea – formerly one of the world’s largest lakes now on the verge of disappearing completely.
Hotels and guesthouses are aplenty in the capital, as well as in the Silk Road cities. Accommodation is quite limited elsewhere.

Guest review
I’m glad that my journey in Uzbekistan started here. After an overnight train ride, I arrived early in the morning, left my luggage at the hotel, and began exploring the old city. When I checked in during the afternoon, I was offered a beautiful room overlooking the courtyard. The staff were all very kind and patient—I really appreciate their efforts in making my stay comfortable. This place gave me a wonderful first impression of both Bukhara and Uzbekistan.

InterContinental Tashkent by IHG is a 5-star property situated in Tashkent. Featuring a restaurant, the property also has a bar, as well as a hot tub and a hammam.
Guest review
This hotel offers great design and comfort, in the heart of the city. The room was spacious, well-equipped and stylish, so was the bathroom. Had a coffee machine and a kettle as well, enough wardrobe space and nice lighting. The bed was especially comfortable with a huge, mid-thick blanket well-suited for winter sleeps. Breakfast had a fantastic selection of local and international yummies, so no wonder a body scale was included in the wardrobe. :) One of us celebrated their birthday during our stay and we walked back into our room to find balloons and cake, fruits, a bottle of wine and the necessary cutlery with a greeting card there! Never did this happen to us before, and we did not notify the hotel of the birthday whatsoever, it was really-really a pleasant surprise we shall cherish in our memories. Staff were all very helpful and polite, spoke great English and a dozen other languages as well. Water pressure and temperature was perfect for long showers and long hair. Embar offerred cocktails inspired by powerful women, a creative touch we enjoyed very much, along with great food and service and a view of nigh time Tashkent from above. The Xmas decorations were also really lovely and offerred a lovely ambience.
