Apart Hotel Istaravshan

Entrance is under 1 minute walk from the front of the Holiday Inn. The Porter kindly directed me. All the rooms are on the 7th floor. There are money exchange machines as you pass into the double doors of the business center building leading to the elevator. My room was on the far end of the Apart Hotel so I would access the room from Holiday Inn. Take the elevator to the 6th floor, across from the end of the bar is a door which leads to the staircase that you use for one flight. I enjoyed walking to places. Tashkent Mall is across the park or you can walk by the Hilton. Perhaps stop there in the evening for a drink at City 21, on the 21st floor and enjoy the fountain and light show. I walked to Magic City and Corsu Baazar making use of the pedestrian tunnels or underpasses when you can. The Promenade stretches for a few blocks and has a fountain, restaurants, hookah lounge, shops, coffee, liquor store.... Breakfast is on the 6th floor of the Holiday Inn. There was live music, made to order egg and pancake station, terrace seating (which on some nights has live music) several latte machines, whole and cut up fresh fruit, pastries, bread, sausage, porridge, salads, cold cuts.... The same light and fountain show that can be seen from the Hilton is visible from the 6th floor as well. From here you can see the Hilton light up with decorations as well as the other high-rises. Out of the 4 Hotels that I stayed at during my Tashkent visit. I preferred this on the best. It was over twice the price of the others but worth it. I didn't use the stove top or the dishes but it was usefull having the washing machine, microwave, fridge, extra sink... The clothes drying rack would not turn on in the bathroom but the staff got me a hanging rack that fit nicely inside the window alcove.
