Arx Suites  

Tucked into Istanbul’s Beyoğlu district, this recently renovated boutique sits in central Istanbul between Taksim (about 1.4 km) and the historic Sultanahmet area. Galata Tower is only 450 m away and the Istanbul Museum of Modern Art is a similar stroll. Perfect for exploring museums, shops and the city’s nightlife on foot.

Only six suites give the place a private, curated feel. Rooms pair wooden doors and wood-effect cupboards and flooring with natural brick-facing walls for a contemporary, country-kitchen vibe. Expect stylish, cozy spaces and easy access to nearby trendy cafés, bars and galleries.
