It’s a short walk to the Bosphorus, where you can take ferry rides, and you’ll be within close reach of Istiklal Avenue and Taksim Square.
The building that houses this hotel dates back to 1836, and is considered one of the four oldest Hans of Galata, previously occupied by the Baltazzi family, famous bankers of the 19th century. Now fully renovated to be a five-star hotel, rooms here are thoughtfully designed, blending luxury and comfort with traditional Ottoman décor and modern amenities, like flatscreen TVs, wi-fi, and marble bathrooms. Some rooms offer stunning views of the Golden Horn, providing a serene retreat after a day of sightseeing.
