This contemporary hotel hides 56 rooms and suites surrounding a light-filled atrium in a renovated historic building in the Nuruosmaniye neighbourhood. Located mere steps away from the Grand Bazaar, a hotel could not get more central than this in the Old City. A pleasant open buffet breakfast served at the hotel’s rooftop restaurant spoils guests with a large selection of local staples, including freshly baked simit (crisp sesame-crusted bread rings), as well as local cheese, olives, and fresh fruits and dried nuts.
TIME OUT TIP: Among the 11 entrances of the Grand Bazaar, Nuruosmaniye is perhaps the most impressive one. Passing through the courtyard of the Nuruosmaniye Mosque, and the arched gate of the bazaar, you will feel like stepping hundreds of years back in time.
