Situated in Sultanahmet, this hotel has been converted from a century-old neo-classical Turkish prison, which was first constructed between 1918 and 1919. With close proximity to the mosques, one can clearly hear the prayers and soak in the mood of the region. The hotel, which has a limited capacity of 65 guest rooms and suites, resonates with the beauty of Turkish architecture.
The view: Decorated with unique interiors, the hotel acquaints one with the true essence of rich Turkish history from its every corner. Built around courtyards, all rooms and suites offer a stunning view reminiscent of the old world charm.
Archi type: The interior of the hotel is artistically done with the originality of the building being untouched. The hotel has also retained the neoclassical prison’s wooden door. Besides, the hotel is done-up with Ottoman tapestries and mosaic art. Most interestingly, the headboards and bedposts of the rooms are such that it would remind one of a mosque’s domes and minarets.
Bon appétit: A variety of international cuisines as well as local delicacies can be savoured at Seasons Restaurant. Awarded the best hotel restaurant in Turkey, it has a glass-enclosed courtyard and an outdoor terrace to cater to different moods of the guests. Exotic beverages and a light lunch can be enjoyed at The Lounge.
Around the Corner: One can pay a visit to Hagia Sophia, the mosques and museums which are close to the hotel. Inspite of being situated away from the hustle and bustle of the city, all the major attractions of Istanbul are at a walking distance from the hotel.
From under the carpet: Luxury comes at a price and this holds true for Four Seasons Istanbul too. Make sure to check your pockets before you order for drinks at The Lounge or for the hotel taxi service, for they are exorbitantly priced. Also, do not expect picturesque views from the hotel rooms.
