Although I've never stayed in the modern side of the Intercontinental, the executive tower is the older part of the building and each room is unique. We stayed on the 34th floor, although technically the back of the building the views were still great. Higher floors of the executive tower are very quiet, each floor only has about six rooms. Some rooms are small but still very nice. Michael Jordan's steak house and bar are off the lobby, ate there several years ago, very good and expensive. There is also a large Starbucks off of the lobby, a wine bar and an upstairs breakfast area. Breakfast is very good and expensive also. Plenty of good restaurants nearby and lots of shopping. All staff is very helpful and professional. Really nice bathrobes. The outside windows could use a cleaning. The old pool is huge and gorgeous but was currently closed for renovations.
