A whole city, one ride away

Set within the historic peninsula and the old city walls in the Topkapı district, our hotel sits right beside the tram and bus stops. Marmaray, the metro and the İDO sea buses are only 10 minutes away.

At Eminönü square you can wander the historic Spice Bazaar, join a Bosphorus tour, and browse silver, jewellery and antiques at the Grand Bazaar, the world’s first covered market.

Do not miss the Basilica Cistern, or a coffee in the historic streets of Balat. In the evening, shake off the day with live music in Taksim and Beyoğlu.
