Istanbul's
two main hotel districts, Old
Istanbul and Beyoğlu,
are a 20-minute, TL15 taxi ride
apart. There are also hotels north
of the city center on the Bosphorus.
OLD
ISTANBUL
HOTELS
If you're coming to Istanbul primarily
for sightseeing, the hotels, inns,
pensions and hostels in the neighborhoods
surrounding Sultanahmet
Square provide easy access to the major
sights in historic Old Istanbul ("Stamboul")
including the Hippodrome, Topkapı
Palace, the Blue
Mosque, Ayasofya
and the Grand
Bazaar.
Lodgings
are in all price ranges,
from cheap
hostels to five-star
luxury, with most being charming
mid-range inns. Some of the
best values are in Sirkeci and Beyazıt (see
below). More...
BEYOĞLU
HOTELS
The Beyoğlu district
north of the Golden
Horn, formerly called Pera, was the more
modern part of the city a century ago. Most of it
was built during the 19th and 20th centuries around Taksim
Square and Istiklal
Caddesi (the Grande Rue de Péra).
It has more and better cafés, restaurants, nightlife and
upscale shops,
though fewer historic sites. More...
BOSPHORUS
HOTELS
Most of these hotels offer magnificent water views
from luxury 5-star rooms facing the Bosphorus
strait, but not all rooms do, and the location
is a bit distant from sightseeing, shopping and nightlife.
You'll be taking lots of taxi rides,
sometimes through dense traffic. More...
AIRPORT
HOTELS
There's one right in Atatürk
International Airport, another adjacent to the
airport, and several others only a 10- or 15-minute
(TL15)
taxi ride away. More...
