Where you stay in Istanbul affects how much time you spend in transit. This page lists hotels so you can compare locations, settings and styles, from historic addresses to modern towers and waterfront properties. Some are in the old city, such as Four Seasons Hotel Istanbul at Sultanahmet, others in Beyoğlu like Pera Palace Hotel, and others on the Bosphorus like Çırağan Palace Kempinski Istanbul. Check the hotel’s official website for current rooms and policies before you book.
