Romance Istanbul Hotel

This opulent, Ottoman-style hotel is a gateway to Istanbul's historic and cultural hub. Perched on a hill that connects the old city with the Golden Horn waterfront area in Eminönü, it’s in a prime location for exploring the city’s many sights on foot. 
 
There’s a grand lobby that exudes elegance and sophistication—think marble floors and chandeliers, and you’ll begin to get a sense of the vibe. In this lavish lobby area, you’ll enjoy a continental buffet breakfast with cold meats and cheeses, savoury pastries, and cereals. For lunch and dinner, the hotel will point you to the restaurant across the road in the sister hotel, but it goes without saying that there are plentiful options across Istanbul to tempt you, too. 
 
There’s a fitness centre, although running outside to explore the city before the crowds is a great way to experience the city while getting your cardio done. Alternatively, recharge your batteries with a few laps of the hotel’s indoor pool.
 
Romance Istanbul is a great hotel for balancing high-energy city adventures with some serious downtime, thanks to the soothing spa. There’s a Hammam to try, or book a traditional massage. Either way, it’ll pep you up nicely to get back out into the fabulous streets of Istanbul.
