The Istanbul Royal Hotel enjoys a great location for sightseeing in the old city, for shopping, or just for relaxing.

 

The Istanbul Royal Hotel is a sleek, business-style four star hotel which welcomes tourists and businessmen alike with good facilities and tidy rooms. From the Istanbul Royal Hotel it's an easy walk to great shopping and superb sightseeing, without the noise and hassle (or cost) of staying right in the centre of the old city.

 

Location: The Istanbul Royal Hotel is on Aksaray Caddasi, a quiet street off the main Ordu Caddasi, and just a 50metre walk from the tram stop at Laleli. The hotel is just 16kms from Ataturk Airport, and a short walk from the Yenikapi train stop, on the airport train line. From Yenikapi, you can catch ferries to the islands off Istanbul, the Marmara Islands.

 

Nearby Attractions: Even the short walk up to Ordu Caddasi is filled with interesting sights, since you pass the Byzantine Bodrum Mosque and emerge just opposite the pretty Tulip (or Laleli) mosque, which has a bustling marketplace in its basement! From here, it’s a fascinating stroll down past Istanbul University and Beyazit Square with its flea market, down to the famous Kapali Carsi, or Grand Bazaar. You can catch the tram down to Sultanahmet to discover the secrets of the Ottoman Empire at the Tokapi Palace, see the awe-inspiring interior of Haghia Sophia, and the beauty of the Sultan Ahmet Cammii, or Blue Mosque.

 

Facilities & Services: The Istanbul Royal Hotel Restaurant prides itself on serving Turkish cuisine plus international dishes at reasonable prices, so you won't need to leave this Istanbul hotel to eat well without busting your budget! The two hotel bars are open 24 hours for drinks and cocktails, and the piano bar features live music on summer nights.

 

Business: Holding a business meeting at the Istanbul Royal Hotel is easy, thanks to the fully air conditioned meeting rooms, holding up to 50 people. All meeting rooms have audio-visual equipment including overhead projectors and audio & video systems. The Istanbul Royal Hotel Business Centre has everything the businessman could wish for, including PCs with camera and sound facilities, great for creating last-minute presentations. The Business Centre also has a fax, photocopying service, plus a printer and scanner.

 

Accommodation: Your room at the Istanbul Royal Hotel will be light, comfortable and cool, thanks to individually controlled air conditioning (unlike some hotels in Istanbul that only offer centrally-set air conditioning that you cannot change!). All rooms have satellite tv, a minibar, direct dial telephone, hairdryer and radio. Your private bathroom will be neat and clean, just right for a city break in Istanbul. Upgrade to a suite, and enjoy great views across to the sea from the top floor of the hotel, with a living area and bedroom separated by a glass partition, so it feels more like a private flat than a hotel room!
