Magnificent Hotel

In the heart of Sultanahmet on Istanbul’s Old City peninsula, steps from Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. Walk to Topkapi Palace, the Grand Bazaar, Basilica Cistern and the Hippodrome, and reach the Marmara shore in about three minutes.

This boutique hotel has 11 individually decorated rooms with refrigerators/LCD TVs and private bathrooms featuring rainfall showerheads. Expect a modern-yet-warm vibe, a four-season open-air panoramic terrace overlooking the Marmara, and a calm spot tucked away from the busiest streets.

Take in city and sea views from the rooftop terrace and relax with a drink at the bar/lounge after a complimentary daily reception. The property offers concierge services, gift shops/newsstands, on-site convenience/grocery options and complimentary wireless internet — perfect for quick trip planning and sea-breeze mornings.

There’s a computer station, express check-in and express check-out, plus extended parking on site. A roundtrip airport shuttle is available for a surcharge and the hotel can assist with tours and transfers.

An on-site restaurant and a bar/lounge serve meals and drinks, while limited-hour room service is available. For nights with a view, the panoramic terrace is open year-round for dinner and cocktails.
