Sirkeci is an ages-old commercial hub where the pulse of the city is still felt at its highest, and this 59-room cosy hotel occupies one of the most strategic corners of the neighbourhood. At the street level, the hotel welcomes guests with the Huqqabaz restaurant, which serves only non-alcoholic beverages, eye-catching fountains of fresh fruit juices and “hookah”s (a term used for water pipes in many neighbouring Arab countries).
TIME OUT TIP: Right across the street stands the Big Post Office, an iconic building that serves as a museum today. New Mosque and the adjacent Spice Market are also a few steps away from the hotel.
