4-star boutique hotel in a 19th-century Ottoman mansion overlooking Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque
Location & Building
Set in Sultanahmet, the hotel is a fully renovated 19th-century Ottoman mansion with direct views of Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, and the Marmara Sea. Guests can walk to Topkapi Palace in under 10 minutes and reach the Sultanahmet tram station in approximately 8 minutes. The area offers a lively street with restaurants and shops, though rooms facing the street may hear late-night music from nearby venues.
Rooms & Suites
Accommodations include chic furnishings, plush bedding, and parquet floors, with some rooms offering a balcony and views of the sea or landmarks. Family suites provide two bedrooms and two bathrooms, while other room types have separate lounge areas and spa bathtubs. The hotel offers room upgrade options and daily housekeeping, with linens changed daily.
Spa & Wellness
The extensive spa facilities include a hammam (traditional Turkish bath), a hot tub, and a sauna, all available for daily use. Professional massages - including back, full-body, and couples massage - are offered along with body scrubs and beauty services. The spa also has a fitness centre, a vitamin bar, and a relaxation area; guests must give 30 minutes' notice to prepare the hammam.
Dining & Entertainment
The on-site Byzas Cafe & Restaurant serves authentic Turkish cuisine, while the Lobby Bar offers local and international drinks and hot beverages. A complimentary breakfast buffet is included daily, with hot eggs, meats, cheeses, and breads; omelettes are normally charged extra but the staff may accommodate. Entertainment comes from nearby clubs that play music until 2:00-4:00 am on weekends, though soundproof windows are being installed.
Family-Friendly Services
Family suites with connecting rooms are available, accommodating groups with separate bedrooms and bathrooms. Babysitting and child services can be arranged through the 24-hour concierge, and a kid-friendly buffet is offered at breakfast. For stays of 5 nights or longer, a free airport shuttle is provided - a benefit that applies to all guests, not just families.
