Four Seasons Hotel Istanbul at Sultanahmet is an intimate retreat of just 65 rooms and suites located in a former prison in the centre of Istanbul’s Old Town. The three-storey, neo-classic building wraps around a landscaped, courtyard garden, formerly the prisoners’ exercise yard – and neighbours some of the city’s most impressive historical monuments. Opened in 1996, the Hotel is one of the jewels in Four Seasons’ crown. The UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Topkapi Palace, Agia Sophia and the Blue Mosque are just a couple of minutes stroll from the Hotel.
In keeping with this privileged location, the Hotel’s interiors and decoration pay homage to the city’s rich Ottoman heritage. Shuttered windows and arched doorways open to reveal well-lit, uncluttered spaces; decorative Ottoman artefacts and antique rugs are incorporated amongst neoclassical furniture and welcoming Turkish sofas. The resultant effect exudes an easy, homely ambiance that belies the exclusivity of the address.
The Hotel’s restaurant, Seasons, is located within a glass pavilion that forms the focal point of the lush, courtyard garden, here, International and Turkish fine dining come together. Turkish traditions are also evident throughout the Hotel in the warmth of the welcome and consistently high level of service – both exceptional, even by Four Seasons’ standards.
Dining facilities include "Seasons Restaurant", serving international cuisine; the "Winter Garden", for afternoon tea and cocktails and the "Blue Room", a cozy lounge for afternoon tea, cocktails and after-dinner drinks.
Additional services/facilities include a health club, sauna and steam room, massage, 24-hour room service, babysitting service, 24-hour business services, 24-hour concierge service, complimentary newspaper and laundry/dry cleaning service.
