Fodor's Expert Review W Istanbul

Süleyman Seba Cad. 22, Istanbul, Istanbul, 34357, Turkey

An 1870s Ottoman block of row houses has been restored and enhanced with posh ultramodernity—sexy lighting, chic East-meets-West decor, and cool amenities like iPod docks and rain showers. For summertime stays, the rooms with outdoor cabanas or with tiny private gardens are particularly romantic. The hotel has its own hip restaurant–bar along with a drinks-only back garden, and the surrounding, up-and-coming neighborhood has plenty of restaurants and galleries.

PROS

  • cool, trendy atmosphere
  • ultracomfortable beds
  • some rooms have private gardens

CONS

  • dim, nightclub-like lighting in public spaces may not suit all tastes
  • gym and spa areas are small
  • service can be hit or miss
