Istanbul's special
hotels offer character,
specifically Ottoman character.
Some were built during the Ottoman
Empire, others have
been restored to the character of
that era, still others strive for
an Ottoman
ambience.
All are smaller than the standard
4- and 5-star luxury hotels, with fewer
staff whom you'll get to know more
easily. Each has a special
charm or advantage.
Mavi
Ev Hotel (Blue House)
Right across the street from the Blue
Mosque, with fabulous views,
extra-friendly service, and all mod cons.
Hotel
Tashkonak
Quiet, convenient, friendly (and family-friendly),
with a charming little "secret garden" where
the loudest sound is birdsong! More...
Sari
Konak Oteli (Yellow
Mansion)
A small inn with Ottoman ambience, all the comforts,
an understated elegance, and true family
friendliness.
Sumahan on the Water
Stylish, elegant boutique hotel, family-owned
and run, with fine Bosphorus views...because
it's right on the Bosphorus shore.

Dersaadet
Oteli
Lots of dark wood and bright smiles at this carefully
restored and maintained 17-room inn in a quiet location
with sweeping sea views from the rooftop terrace.
Yesil
Ev (Green House)
The first Ottoman traditional
house to be restored as an inn, it's
still among the best,
and right next to the Blue
Mosque.
Hotel
Pera Palas (Pera
Palace Hotel)
Built for passengers arriving
on the Orient
Express, the grande dame
of Istanbul hotels
is heavy with nostalgia.
Hotel
Ararat
Istanbul's equivalent of the atmospheric
little Left Bank Paris hotel you may have
stayed in years ago, directly—and I mean directly!—opposite
the Blue
Mosque.
