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. More...

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.
