Modern Sultan Hotel  

In the heart of Istanbul’s Old City, a boutique stay just steps from Basilica Cistern and Sultanahmet Square. Modern Sultan Hotel sits a short walk from Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, Grand Bazaar and Gulhane Park. It’s between Gulhane and Sultanahmet tram stops (about 2 minutes on foot), making it a prime spot for culture-focused, family-friendly visits.

Set in a 200-year-old building converted by two Canadian founders, the hotel blends historic character with simple modern comforts. There are 10 rooms, including 3 family suites, and some rooms offer rare views of Hagia Sophia. Rooms include private bathrooms with showers, LCD TVs, safes and electric kettles.

Complimentary Wi-Fi, a small garden and a shared kitchen give you flexible ways to relax. Family-friendly features include playrooms for kids and easy access to nearby Gulhane Park. Concierge and a tour desk help book excursions. Other practical perks: airport/area shuttle (surcharge), self-parking (charges), laundry/dry cleaning, a doctor on call, express check-in/out and limited hours room service.

Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected. Express check-in/out and concierge services streamline short stays for busy travelers.

Grab coffee or a light bite at the on-site café. A complimentary buffet breakfast is served daily from 8 AM to 10 AM, and limited room service is available. Steps away you’ll find abundant authentic Turkish restaurants and street-food stalls in Sultanahmet.
