Four Seasons Sultanahmet 5*

Located in one of the oldest and most interesting quarters of one of the oldest and most interesting cities in the world, the Four Seasons Hotel Istanbul in Sultanahmet is the ideal base to start exploring.

The bold, ochre-tinted walls of this renovated neo-classic Turkish prison stand in playful contrast with the sharp while walls of the Blue Mosque and the pinkish hue of Hagia Sofia - both standing just a few steps away from your door.

The hotel’s 65 guest rooms and suites hint at their ancient (and infamous) past, all the time celebrating the rich culture of Turkey through faience tiles, Ottoman antiques, tapestries, and intricate carpets.

Each room offers an intriguing aspect, of either Istanbul itself, the hotel's courtyard, or the stunning glass pavilion that covers Seasons, the hotel's restaurant.
