Divan Istanbul  

In the heart of Taksim, a short 3‑minute walk from Taksim Square and steps from Istiklal Avenue. Historic sights like the Old City, Blue Mosque and Dolmabahçe Palace are all within easy reach, making this a prime luxury hotel base in Istanbul.

Rebuilt in 2011 with 191 rooms across 11 floors and an elegant Ottoman‑inspired marble lobby. Rooms blend East‑meets‑West decor and feature iPod docking, LCD TVs, mini bars, safes and rainfall showerheads with designer toiletries.

Soak in an indoor pool, unwind in a full spa with massage treatments, steam room and sauna, or keep up with workouts in the fitness center. There’s also a popular patisserie/café, a bar/pub, 24‑hour room service and concierge — wake up to a tree‑lined boulevard that leads straight to Taksim.

Eight meeting rooms, conference space and a 24‑hour business center support events and corporate stays; complimentary wired and wireless internet is available throughout the property.

Three on‑site restaurants serve everything from Mediterranean dishes to casual pub fare, plus a patisserie and coffee shop for Turkish pastries and snacks. Buffet breakfast is offered (weekday and weekend times vary), and a bar/lounge keeps drinks flowing into the evening.
