A big, bold, almost brash Istanbul hotel that offers everything you need for a great city break, without the crowds. 

 

The Hotel Akgün Istanbul will never win any awards for looking pretty on the outside, but that's not what this 5 star Istanbul hotel is about. The Hotel Akgün Istanbul is about comfort, relaxation, lazing by a pool, being pampered in the Massage Salon, or gazing over the city from the Roof Bar. Many guests here are business people on conferences or in meetings, so you'll have the hotel facilities pretty much to yourself during the day!

 

Location: Hotel Akgün Istanbul is on Adnan Menderes Bulvari, and on the main tram route into the old part of Istanbul. The Hotel Akgün Istanbul is closer to Ataturk airport than many hotels in Istanbul, just 10km, for short and easy transfers that make the most of your time in Istanbul.

 

Nearby Attractions: With the sleek and efficient tram system stopping almost outside the front door of the Hotel Akgün Istanbul, you can be at the heart of old Istanbul in under 10 minutes. Stop off at the Grand Bazaar, a maze of tiny streets and fascinating shops selling everything from gold to sunglasses. Then, hop back on the tram down to Sutanahmet Meydani, to wander amongst the gardens to the famous Blue Mosque, impressive Roman Hippodrome, and the awe-inspiring Aya Sofya. Save enough energy (and time) for the Arabian nights fairy tale experience of the Topkapi Palace, with its inner courts and harem.

Facilities & Services: Hotel Akgün Istanbul offers you everything you'd expect from a good Istanbul hotel. Choose from three bars according to your mood; cool drink at the Pool Bar (next to the hotel's private swimming pool, of course), drink with friends in the Lobby Bar or watch the sun set at the Roof Bar. Then, enjoy a delicious dinner at the hotel's restaurants, choosing from Turkish cuisine, an a la carte selection or the extremely tempting open buffet. Next morning, you can work off all those extra calories in the Hotel Akgün Istanbul Fitness Centre, or steam it away in the Turkish bath or sauna!

 

Nearly every hotel in Istanbul seems to claim to have good business facilities, but the Hotel Akgün Istanbul really does offer a wide range of well-appointed meeting rooms, for anything from 25 people to 500. From a small seminar to an international conference, the Hotel Akgün Istanbul can comfortably accommodate you and your delegates - and you can even book out the hotel's own nightclub for some fun at the end of a hard day's business!

 

Accommodation: When looking at Istanbul hotels, you soon realise that in the old city, spacious airy rooms are hard to find. However, all bedrooms at the Hotel Akgün Istanbul are larger than average, so you can stretch out and enjoy watching the satellite tv, or checking emails on the free wifi connection, or sipping a welcome drink from your minibar while you soak in a relaxing bath in your ensuite bathroom. All rooms have electronic locks, so there's no bulky keys to carry, and all have a balcony too. For more comfort, you can upgrade to a Suite or King Suite room, and admire the views of the Fatih and Kariye mosques, or gaze over the Bosphorus to the islands beyond.
