A modern classic in Istanbul, where the decor is minimalist but the service more than generous!

 

Part of the Barcelo international hotel group, the Hotel Barcelo Saray Istanbul reflects the group ethos of well-designed, elegant modern hotels in prime locations. The whole hotel looks like a designer furniture store, but one where you are allowed to sit, lounge and linger at your leisure! In the evenings, relax in the Piano Bar with a drink and live music from the grand piano, courtesy of the hotel's resident pianist.

 

Location: The Barcelo Saray Hotel is located on Yeniceriler Caddesi, the main route through old Beyazit down to Sultanahmet. This stylish hotel in Istanbul is 15kms from Ataturk airport, and there is a tram stop just a couple of minutes walk away.

 

Nearby Attractions: Step outside the Hotel Barcelo Saray Istanbul and you're faced with a choice, to shop or to sightsee? At the Grand Bazaar, almost opposite the hotel, you can do both! Over 4000 shops entice you in to view almost anything you might like to buy, from gold to fabric, lamps to lighters, coffee pots to carpets. Wander amongst the winding streets to the ic Bedesten, the oldest part of the bazaar, before reviving with a strong Turkish coffee and a chat with the locals in a traditional cafe. Pop your shopping back to the Hotel Barcelo Saray Istanbul, and you're ready to hop on a tram down to Sultanahmet, and the treasures of the Topkapi Palace, the beautiful Blue Mosque and the mighty Byzantine church of Aya Sofya. Or stay on the tram and whizz round to the fragrant Spice Bazaar, filled with sacks of exotic spices and tasty nuts, and trays of tempting sweetmeats.

With a buffet or a la carte option, the Vista Restaurant on the top floor has excellent views across the treetops to Beyazit Mosque and ancient Istanbul University. In the lobby, you can enjoy a welcome cup of Turkish coffee or aromatic teat anytime, accompanied by a suitably sticky pastry!

After a day's sightseeing, you can relax in the Hotel Barcelo Saray Turkish bath, and treat yourself to a massage or whole body treatment. Or, enjoy the restoring warm of the sauna, or steam away stress in the steam room.
