Empire Palace Hotel Istanbul
 

 

The Best Western Empire Palace Hotel was voted the top Best Western hotel in Turkey last year, so if you like quality accommodation and great service, this is the hotel for you!

The Empire Palace Hotel Istanbul occupies a traditional yellow stone house in the Sirkeci area of old Istanbul, renovated to a high standard when the hotel opened in April 2004. It's everything you expect from a Best Western hotel in Istanbul; excellent facilities, spotlessly clean room, and a location within easy walking distance of the major sights, including the glorious Topkapi Palace.
