Really enjoyed this hotel. It's an extremely tall landmark tower (about 20 stories) on a high…read moreelevation in the heart of Taksim Square. Amazing reception staff and I have to commend Dorukcan Ö., Ahmed K. and Vardıya S. for all their help and the nice welcome at check in. For an urban hotel, it has fantastic amenities. There's a wonderful large pool that overlooks the sea, a fantastic fitness center with glass windows overlooking the square, a beautiful rooftop terrace bar and restaurant with spectacular views, and many shops and restaurants on the lower level. The rooms have large windows and incredible views of the city. The bathrooms are marble with luxurious rain showers and nice amenities. The beds were very comfortable. I found the check in to be extremely fast and very efficient and charming. I've stayed in hotels all over Istanbul and I avoided the Taksim Square area before but at this hotel I love it; the room is an oasis of quiet in the center of the city. But you can step outside and everything is next door! Restaurants, shopping, metro, taxis...The hotel is like an urban spa. The actual spa and hammam are very nice in the hotel. If you want something luxurious, but also want to be in the center of the action and close to nightlife and shopping, this hotel is a fantastic choice. And don't forget to visit the roof terrace bar and restaurant (sometimes featuring DJs) even if you just want to see the view. It's probably one of the most outstanding and highest views in Istanbul....360° views above the city.

My room had a beautiful little balcony on the 5th floor overlooking a quiet street but still within view of all the action on the square, seriously charming. After traveling through the Middle East for weeks, staying at much more expensive hotels this was a very relaxing low pressure environment to spread out. It's still very classy and clean and full of wealthy people but without the pressure to maintain appearances like at a Fairmont or Ritz Carlton, casual luxury. I booked 1 night and ended up staying 4.
