History Hotel Istanbul
 

The History Hotel lies in the heart of old Istanbul, and its atmospheric underground restaurant was originally an ancient Byzantine cistern, built in the 5th century.

This Istanbul Hotel is a charming hotel that offers great service and comfortable hotel in Istanbul. You can almost feel the centuries of history from the stone walls of the cistern restaurant, where tables nestle amongst the original stone columns rising to the vaulted ceiling. Refreshingly cool in summer and snug and warm in winter, the restaurant also serves excellent food. The entire hotel is also non-smoking, a real rarity in Istanbul.
