A modern hotel right next to leafy Gulhane Park and the magnificent Topkapi Palace.

 

When you walk into the Orsep Royal Hotel, you know that this hotel is all about Turkey's pride in its modern hotels, from the gleaming glass staircase to the giant torch uplighters!

 

Location: The Orsep Royal Hotel Istanbul is located on Nöbethane Caddesi, in the Sirkeci part of Istanbul, just 18kms from Ataturk airport. The Hotel Orstep Royal is also an easy walk from the Sirkeci train station, the most easterly railway station in Europe.

Nearby Attractions: The Hotel Orsep Royal Istanbul is almost literally at the walls of Gulhane Park, the leafy setting for the magnificent Topkapi Palace, Imperial Mint, and Archaeology Museum. Set out just after beakfast from your Istanbul hotel, and you'll be first in the queue for the very popular tours of the harem, which take you into the heart of this magnificent Ottoman Palace. Then, explore the shady courtyards and golden treasures of the Palace at your leisure, while other tourists queue to get in!

 

Just a couple of minutes' walk from the gates of Gulhane Park is the magnificent Aya Sofya, a Byzantine church so vast that for 1000 years its interior was the largest enclosed space in the world! From here, it's a gentle stroll past the Baths of Roxelana to the glittering domes of the Blue Mosque, rising high above the city. You’ll also pass the ancient Roman Hippodrome, venue for chariot racing, and a museum devoted to that most Persian of artforms, the carpet!

 

 

Facilities & Services: At the Orsep Royal Hotel, food can also be a work of art, from the assortment of Turkish breads and pastries at your buffet breakfast, to the delicious colours and tastes of Turkish cuisine in the Eugenius Restaurant. The Liquid Bar will serve you a cool drink from its snazzy marble zigzag bartop.

You can relax at the Royal Wellness Centre at the Orsep Royal Hotel, or work up a sweat - the choice is yours! The centre's gym features a range of testing equipment to tone your muscles, or let someone else do the work with an invigorating massage. Make a splash in the inside swimming pool, or steam away your stress in the sauna, jacuzzi, or traditional Turkish bath.

For the perfect combination of sun, swimming and stunning views, head for the open-air rooftop swimming pool, and watch the world float past on the Marmara Sea. Great during the day, amazing at night!

 

 

Business: The Orsep Royal Istanbul is perfect for a European conference, thanks to its options of both large and small spaces. The Topkapi Conference Hall at the Orsep Royal Hotel is a versatile space holding up to 380 guests, complemented by the spacious Galata Meeting Room.
