Sultanahmet Palace Hotel Istanbul is an elegant hotel with shady gardens, ideally situated between the Blue Mosque and the blue waters of the Marmara Sea.

 

Location:

The Istanbul Hotel Sultanahmet Palace is situated on Torun Sokak and the nearest train stop is just across the road at Cankurtaran. Hotel Sultanahmet Palace Istanbul is 10.5 miles (17km) from Istanbul Ataturk Airport, and about as close as you can get to the Blue Mosque!

Nearby Attractions:
The Blue Mosque is, almost literally, on your doorstep at the Istanbul Hotel Sultanahmet Palace; as you step out of the hotel, the mosque's slim-line minarets tower above you. The Mosaic Museum is also just across the road, with its stunning gold mosaic from the Great Palace of the Byzantine Emperors, which was found on the site in the 1930s. Pass through the Cavalry Bazaar before heading to the side of the mosque, where you can admire some of the world's finest carpets in the Carpet Museum. Then walk up through gardens with sparkling fountains to Aya Sophia (or Haglia Sophia), a simply magnificent Byzantine church dating from the 6th century. From Aya Sophia, it's just a 10 minute walk or one stop tram ride up bustling Divanyolu Caddesi to the best shopping in the world, at the Grand Bazaar!

The Istanbul Hotel Sultanahmet Palace is impressive from the moment you walk in, with its balcony of rooms and stained glass ceilings above you.
