A smart-looking hotel in the popular shopping district of Laleli, within easy walk of the Grand Bazaar.

 

The Oran Hotel Istanbul is a four star hotel that puts you right in the heart of Istanbul's shopping district, within easy walking of some great sights tourists often miss. You are also just a tram ride away from the 'must-see' sights, so you can do more during your city break in Istanbul!

 

Location: The Oran Hotel is located on Harikzadeler Sok., just north of the main Ordu Caddesi and next to Istanbul University. The Hotel Oran Istanbul is 15kms from Ataturk International Airport, and 100metres from two tram stops.

 

Nearby Attractions: The historic Laleli area is perfect for exploring by foot, and there is plenty to see literally just outside your Istanbul hotel's front door! Three famous mosques are almost in sight; the pretty Laleli (or Tulip) Mosque; Beyazit Mosque, dating from 1506 and the the oldest surviving imperial mosque in Istanbul; and the impressive Süleymaniye Mosque, a vast complex that provided medical help and food to the poor of the city but now has a great restaurant in its grounds! The winding streets of the Grand Bazaar are just a five-minute walk down Ordu Caddesi, or catch a tram to Sultanahment to view the Blue Mosque, Haghia Sophia, the Roman Hippodrome, and the Topkapi Palace.

 

Facilities & Services:  One of the pleasures of good hotels in Istanbul is that they offer great views across the city, and the Oran Hotel is no exception! Dine in their appropriately named Panorama Restaurant on the eighth floor, and you can gaze over the rooftops to the Marmara Sea beyond as you enjoy Turkish cuisine from the open buffet or a la carte menu. The Oran Hotel also has three bars; the Rock Bar for drinks and snacks, the Moonlight Bar and the Vitamin Bar in the Fitness Centre.

Every Istanbul hotel worth 4 stars should have a Turkish bath, but not all are as pretty or elegant as the Oran's. The traditional wooden sauna will steam away your stresses and strains, or book a massage and let someone else do the work! The Fitness Centre also features a 'shock pool', or plunge pool, after which you'll probably need your hair done by the hotel's resident hairdresser!

 

Business: The Oran Hotel Istanbul has a smart meeting room, well equipped with a portable light system, sound system, CD-MD player, microphone, projection device and screen, TV, and video system. The Oran Hotel also offers an optional, simultaneous translation service, not offered by many other hotels in Istanbul. The Laleli Restaurant can be reserved for conference or meeting groups of up to 50 people.

 

Accommodation: Standard rooms at the Hotel Oran Istanbul are perfect for a weekend break in Istanbul, or for a longer stay. Catch up with emails via the internet access, or call home on the direct dial telephone. Keep cool with the air conditioning, and keep your valuables safe in the electronic safety box. Your room also includes a minibar for those late-night munchies...
