No matter what time of year you visit Istanbul, you'll be enchanted. And if you're lucky enough to stay at the Four Seasons Istanbul at Sultanahmet, rest assured that this moment will be all the more special.
Just a stone’s throw from Istanbul’s must-see landmarks—the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and the Basilica Cistern—the Four Seasons Istanbul at Sultanahmet is the ideal starting point for exploring the city. Since 1996, this luxury hotel has occupied the site of former administrative buildings. Spacious, with vast hallways and rooms, it is sure to impress. In total, there are 65 rooms and suites available, each offering luxurious comfort and very large bathrooms. While classic in style, the hotel is nonetheless charming and blends seamlessly into the neighborhood.
Of course, it’s nice to enjoy a well-oiled operation: attentive and helpful staff, a babysitter for a romantic evening out, a gym, and a concierge ready to book a table at one of Istanbul’s best restaurants… everything is designed to make your stay as easy as possible. And if you don’t feel like going out for dinner, the Seasons Restaurant welcomes you and offers cuisine with Mediterranean influences: enjoy the terrace to escape the hustle and bustle of the city for a moment and savor a delicious mezze.
With a slightly timeless feel, the Four Seasons Istanbul at Sultanahmet seems straight out of a movie, as its architecture and decor are reminiscent of a film set. When making your reservation, ask about the rooms with the best views of the surrounding mosques.
In a nutshell
- Attentive service.
- Very large rooms.
- You're close to many of the city's must-see attractions.
Dining: Albura Kathisma
Albura Kathisma is one of the must-visit restaurants in the Sultanahmet neighborhood. On the terrace, you can enjoy traditional dishes that are more or less adapted to Western tastes. Let yourself be tempted by dishes featuring vegetables (eggplant, bell peppers, zucchini…), pine nuts, and spices. Ottoman cuisine is truly delicious and full of surprises!
