Four Seasons Hotel Istanbul at Sultanahmet

Intimate cultural oasis.

Located steps away from the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia, Four Seasons Hotel Istanbul at Sultanahmet is a tranquil sanctuary in the middle of history. Bordered between the Bosphorus and the Sea of Marmara, the century-old hotel features marble pillars, pinched arches, tiles, and domes in the Turkish Neoclassical architecture.

Insider Tip

It's not every day you get to stay in a century-old Turkish prison, refurbished for luxury living. The building was designed in 1918 as a prime example of Turkish Neoclassical architecture, with an emphasis on pointed arches, ornate tiles, dramatic domes and towers.

Where to Relax
