Grand Makel Hotel Topkapi

In Zeytinburnu, Istanbul — minutes from the city’s historic heart. A short drive puts you at Süleymaniye Mosque, the Grand Bazaar and Spice Bazaar, with Sultanahmet Square and Gülhane Park also nearby. Istanbul Airport (IST) is about 45 km away; Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) is roughly 65.5 km.

This luxury property has 118 rooms in layouts from City-View and Sea-View standards to corner suites and Makel-Topkapı suites, plus an accessible room. Rooms are air-conditioned and stocked with minibars, LCD TVs, safes and desks, with daily housekeeping and complimentary wired and wireless internet. The on-site spa, indoor pool, spa tub and sauna give the place a relaxed, modern vibe — think polished comfort with sea-view mornings if you pick a sea-facing room.

Pamper yourself at the spa with massages, then hit the indoor pool, spa tub or sauna. Complimentary wired and wireless internet, concierge services and a banquet hall are on hand. Practical perks include free self-parking and an airport shuttle (surcharge), plus 24-hour front desk, dry cleaning and elevator access.

Five meeting rooms, a fully equipped ballroom and event spaces (MakSky for up to 180, Terrace Brasserie for 120) make this a solid pick for events. Featured business conveniences include express check-in/check-out and complimentary wired internet.

On-site restaurant and a bar/lounge serve guests, with room service available during limited hours. Buffet breakfast is offered daily from 7:00 to 10:30 AM for a fee.
