If you love shopping, you’ll love Istanbul! Istanbul is a shopper’s paradise where you can buy anything and everything, from cheap to outrageously expensive and everything in between!

Before deciding on a suitable Istanbul hotel for shopping, you need to decide what sort of shopping you want to do! Here are some hints and tips to help you decide…

 

 

The Grand Bazaar

One of Istanbul’s most famous attractions is the Grand Bazaar. With about 4,400 shops to visit, you could be in here for days! You can buy just about everything in the Grand Bazaar and if this is where you would like to spend your time, choose an Istanbul hotel which is nearby so that you don’t have far to carry all your shopping!

The Grand Bazaar is on the Sultanahmet Peninsula, close to all the other major attractions so you could enjoy a spot of sightseeing too once you’ve bought all you want to! So the best Istanbul hotels for shopping at the Grand Bazaar are on the Sultanahmet Peninsula.

 

Modern Shopping Malls

From one of the world’s oldest shopping malls to some of the world’s most modern, Istanbul has them all!

There are numerous shopping malls all over Istanbul, so your best bet when choosing an Istanbul hotel for shopping is to figure out which malls you think you’d like to visit and then choose a hotel accordingly.

One of the largest shopping malls in Istanbul is called Akmerkez and is situated in Etiler. There are several nearby Istanbul hotels for you to choose which are perfect hotels for shopping from! Or choose to stay in Şişli which is right next to the largest shopping mall in Europe, Cevahir Shopping Centre.

 

And so many more!

In addition to the shopping malls you’ll find shops absolutely everywhere! If you haven’t come to Istanbul just for shopping then you may like to take advantage of the shops on every street and just pick up a few bargains to take home with you. Choose an Istanbul hotel which is nearest the attractions that you most want to visit.

 

Two Istanbul Hotels for Shopping

If you can’t quite decide where you want to shop, how about choosing two different Istanbul hotels for shopping and having a two centre holiday?! This way you get the best of both worlds as you can choose an Istanbul hotel near the Grand Bazaar, for example, then one near the Akmerkez shopping mall. Definitely if you’re planning on visiting both these places this is the best idea as they are quite a distance apart!
