Ferman Hotel - Special Class

In the heart of Sultanahmet’s historic old city, a boutique hotel just steps from Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. Topkapi Palace, the Grand Bazaar, the Byzantine Hippodrome and the ancient cistern are all within a 10–15 minute walk — ideal for first-time Istanbul explorers.

This small S-class boutique hotel opened in 2009 and blends Ottoman touches with modern design across 24 rooms and suites. Select rooms offer Marmara/Bosphorus views, while others look over Sultanahmet. Rooms come with air conditioning, minibar, safe, satellite TV and private bathroom with tub or shower.

Facilities pack a punch for a compact property: indoor and outdoor pools, a full spa with sauna and massage, a fitness center and a library. There’s a playroom for families, terrace dining spaces, a bar and a cafe. On-site services include 24-hour reception, parking, transfer assistance, tour desk, laundry and concierge.

Free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel, an internet corner in the lobby and reliable front-desk support make short work of travel planning and last-minute work needs.

Start with a buffet breakfast in the bright breakfast hall and linger on the terrace restaurant for Turkish-flavored dishes. A bar and cafe round out on-site options, plus 24-hour room service for late arrivals.
