If you're on the prowl for antiques and second-hand treasures in Istanbul, Çukurcuma Street and its surroundings are your thing. Dotted with small boutiques, galleries, design stores, and cosy cafes, this area exudes a vintage allure that's hard to resist. Right in the heart of it, stands Corinne Hotel, just a stone's throw from the bustling pedestrianised Istiklal Street. Housed in a century-old neoclassical building designed by the distinguished architect Kemaleddin Bey, the hotel boasts 39, well-appointed with floor-heated marble bathrooms and Denizli linen sheets for an authentic touch of luxury. Adding to the artistic vibe, the hotel features an underground art gallery as well. However, the real deal is Corinne Brasserie, the rooftop restaurant offering an incredible upper deck —a favourite spot for locals to impress their foreign guests!
TIME OUT TIP: Don't miss the chance to pamper yourself at two of the city's oldest hamams, Aga Hamamı (1454) and Galatasaray Hamamı (1481), conveniently located on the same street as the hotel.
