The InterContinental Hotel in Kabul, Afghanistan, has spent more time in the public eye than most of the Intercontinental stable. During the Russian occupancy of Afghanistan it was used as officers quarters and was used extensively by Western journalists during the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 as it was the only hotel still operating in the capital at the time. The hotel has been renovated with US 25 million dollars by a Dubai based company and is currently in operation. It is also the landmark used at the start of the Hash House Harriers weekly events.

While originally developed by the InterContinental Hotels chain and built by Taylor Woodrow Construction (U.K), The InterContinental Hotel Kabul has no direct or indirect association with the InterContinental Hotels Group.
