Crowne Plaza Istanbul Old City

Set in a beautifully restored historic building, the Crowne Plaza Istanbul Old City puts you right in the heart of one of the world’s most fascinating cities. You’ll be within easy reach of Istanbul’s must-sees, including the Grand Bazaar, Topkapi Palace, the Blue Mosque and the Basilica Cistern.

The hotel itself blends traditional Turkish architecture with modern touches, creating a stylish and welcoming space to return to after a day of exploring. Rooms come with all the essentials—think blackout curtains, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, a minibar and flat-screen TV—while some look out over peaceful inner courtyards.

When it comes to food and drink, you’ll have plenty of choice. There’s an à la carte restaurant serving up Turkish and international favourites, a laidback café for snacks and coffees, and a lounge bar that’s perfect for an evening drink.

Downtime’s sorted too, with an indoor pool, sauna and fitness centre on hand. Or, if you fancy something a little different, you can simply wander the leafy courtyards and soak up the building’s character.

With its Old City location, elegant design and warm Turkish hospitality, the Crowne Plaza Istanbul Old City is a brilliant base for discovering Istanbul.
