Boutique hotels in Istanbul are certainly becoming popular, though you’ll find that there are a number of hotels in the city which describe themselves as ‘boutique’ even though they may not quite fit the right personality!

 

What Makes a Boutique Hotel in Istanbul?

 

Small and Fashionable – The term ‘boutique hotel’ is generally used to describe a hotel which is small and fashionable. However, the term is also being used to describe larger hotels in Istanbul as well, which are very contemporary and upmarket. Historical – Many of the Boutique Hotels in Istanbul are within historical, refurbished or converted buildings, which is another point which adds to the uniqueness of them. They may be a little quirky, or have a story or two to tell!

 

The Friendliest Service – Because Boutique Hotels in Istanbul are generally smaller, they are often family-run businesses and are hence run by people who know the real value of good service! You’ll find a friendly, personal service in Istanbul’s boutique hotels.

 

Luxury – Boutique Hotels in Istanbul are designed to offer visitors a luxurious stay. Unlike 5 star hotels in Istanbul this luxury isn’t offered in the form of a multitude of facilities, but is generally through the individual and lavish furnishings and fittings which show a great attention to detail and where nothing has been left out.

 

An excellent example of a Boutique Hotel in Istanbul is the Ibrahim Pasha Hotel, set in a 100 year old building on Istanbul’s historic peninsula. Or the Boutique Hotel Riva in Nişantaşı – this part of Istanbul is fast becoming a very popular area for Boutique Hotels in Istanbul as they fit with the personality of this area – smart, fashionable and chic! So if you want to be seen in one of Istanbul’s smartest areas, choose a Boutique Hotel in this part of Istanbul!
