From the moment you step inside the hotel, you’ll be greeted by a grand, light-filled atrium adorned with polished marble floors, an ornate chandelier, plush furnishings and a collection of photographs that superbly capture the essence of Istanbul.
The location could hardly be more ideal for exploring the city’s myriad cultural landmarks, with icons including the Grand Bazaar, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace and the Blue Mosque all reachable within 10-15 minutes, either on foot or via public transport. As such, you’ll be perfectly placed for sightseeing, safe in the knowledge that you’ll be returning to a delightfully calm and peaceful sanctuary after each day’s explorations.
Comfort and style go hand-in-hand in the 51 guest rooms and 12 suites, which feature a predominantly cream and black colour palette, alongside flashes of turquoise. Each one comes with a spacious marble bathroom with dual sinks reminiscent of traditional Turkish hammams, alongside handcrafted copper accents that further accentuate an ambience of timeless charm. And, with ultra-plush beds laden with premium Frette linens, alongside soundproof windows and air conditioning, a blissfully relaxing and restful stay is guaranteed.
Signature Accommodations, meanwhile, including the Sanasaryan Han Suite and the Charm Corner Room, offer a host of exclusive privileges, ranging from spacious living rooms and palatial-style king-size beds to complimentary Turkish sweets and aromatic tea blends.
While Istanbul is packed with wonderful places to eat and drink, you needn’t venture far in search of exquisite culinary experiences, such is the excellence of the signature Sini Restaurant. Here, you can expect an innovative and refined gourmet offering that showcases Turkish cuisine at its very best, with both signature dishes and a seven-course tasting menu accompanied by specially selected fine wines. A deliciously fresh and plentiful breakfast is served each morning, too, with a wide range of both continental and à la carte options to choose from. For an evening cocktail, look no further than the atmospheric Library Bar, which hosts regular cultural events such as live music performances, poem readings and Turkish tea tastings presented by the hotel’s very own Tea Master.
