Stylish digs outside Istanbul
Wanda Vista will have you living like a local – and doing it in style. Away from the city centre, this hotel has pitched up in Bagcilar – a modern residential district with bus and metro links to central Istanbul.
A big draw around these parts is the nearby Mall of Istanbul, which is stacked to the rafters with places to shop and eat – and is about 20 minutes away by bus. For getting into the city centre, meanwhile, a mix of the bus and the metro is your best option, with the bus stop about 10 minutes’ walk from the hotel. From there you can get into the Old City in about an hour, and soak up the history to your heart’s content.
Back at the hotel you can expect style and luxury in spades. From the luxe décor that starts in the lobby and extends to the rooms, to the swish seasonal outdoor swimming pool, this place just feels a cut above the rest. There’s a modern fitness centre, too, plus a sauna and a hammam that’re perfect for kicking back after a day of exploring.
Everything here has an Oriental flair – including the on-site restaurant, which serves up a tasty mix of Chinese and American cuisine in a trendy, sophisticated setting.
