Getting around Istanbul
The property sits in Istanbul.
Sultanahmet Square: A short walk from the hotel, this public square is surrounded by the city's most iconic landmarks and is a natural starting point for exploring the Old City.
Hagia Sophia & Blue Mosque: Both are within walking distance and visible from the rooftop terrace. Expect dense crowds, especially midday, so an early start helps.
