For an elegant city break in Istanbul, the Sultanhan Hotel's beautiful building, excellent location and courteous staff make an ideal combination.

 

The Sultanhan Hotel has great 'kerb appeal' housed in a well-restored town house on a tree-lined street. You may not want to rush to your room at once, but stop and enjoy the Ottoman ambience and comfortable sofas in the lobby first. 

 

Location:
The Sultanhan Hotel is on Piyer Loti Cad, just off the main Divanyolu Cad, one of Istanbul's finest streets. The Sultanhan Hotel is just metres from the nearest tram stop on Divanyolu, 2kms from Sirkeci train station and 20kms from Ataturk International Airport.

 

Nearby Attractions:
At the Sultanhan Hotel, you are right in the heart of bustling old Istanbul. Thanks to the trams that stop at the top of the street, you can explore the whole of the Seraglio Point area with ease, and also cross the famous Golden Horn estuary to the Beyoglu shopping area. However, first stop for any dedicated shopper must be the 7000 shops in the maze-like Grand Bazaar, just a five minute walk from the Sultanhan Hotel. Beyond are the grounds of Istanbul University with its impressive mosques, and just behind the hotel is the magnificent Byzantine Cistern of 1001 Columns.

Hop on a tram and within three minutes you'll be outside the beautiful Aya Sofya church. Walk in the sandals of the Romans across the site of the Hippodrome to discover the sheer beauty and awe-inspiring elegance of the Blue Mosque. The magnificent Topkapi Palace is also near where the tram stops. Or, stay on the tram and whiz round to the Sirkeci district, to sample the delights of the Spice Bazaar, or catch a cruise ship for a trip up the Bosphorus, the narrow strip of sea dividing Europe from Asia.

 

Facilities & Services:
The Sultanhan Hotel offers you every opportunity to simply sit back and relax, whether you want a cool drink in the lobby bar, or to steam away tired muscles in the hotel's own Turkish steam room and sauna. The generous buffet style breakfast served at the Sultanhan Hotel will set you up for a day's sightseeing, or a morning reading a book on the hotel terrace, with wonderful views of the Istanbul skyline and sea beyond. You can even request a packed lunch from the Sultanhan Hotel reception for your day's sightseeing, or order from the delicious room service menu.
