Istanbul's first (self-proclaimed) 'hip' hotel, the Bentley's minimalist chocolate-and-cream lobby looks like the reception area of an upmarket ad agency. Rooms are similarly smart and understated. Best options are the corner rooms with curving glass walls (a pity there's not much of a view).
The two penthouse suites have wine minibars, plasma TVs and espresso machines. One comes with an adjacent single room. These are stylish amenities, as you would expect from a member of the Design Hotels group, but there's nothing groundbreaking.
