Situated in the cultural and historical centre of Istanbul, this lavish hotel opened in the year 2000 just a stone's throw from Sultan Ahmed Mosque, otherwise known as the Blue Mosque. From here, it's easy to explore the city by foot, as the famous Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace and Istanbul Museum of Archaeology are all less than 15 minutes' walk from the hotel, as well as the city's best shops, restaurants and nightclubs.
