Located 3.9 km from the byzantine basilica Hagia Sophia Museum, Swissotel The Bosphorus Istanbul hotel is just a 6-minute walk from Visnezade Camii. The hotel is 3.5 km from the large Topkapi Palace harem Museum and provides guests with a Turkish steam bath, a treatment room, and a solarium.

Location

You'll need 43-minute drive to Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen International airport. The Swissotel is also within a few blocks of Republic Monument in Istanbul.

This 5-star hotel is 450 metres from Visnezade bus stop and about 10 minutes by car from Sultanahmet Tram train station in Istanbul.

Staying at this Istanbul property, you can also enjoy natural sights such as Fethi Pasa Korusu, which is 1.5 miles away.

Rooms

The property has 554 rooms appointed with a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, as well as self-catering options such as a minibar fridge, tea and coffee making equipment. They come with a bidet and a separate toilet along with such comforts as hairdryers and bath sheets. Guests can also enjoy sea views.

Leisure & Business

Entertainment at the hotel includes live performances, movie nights, and temporary art galleries. This property offers a wellness area along with a head massage, a back massage, and a facial massage for guests' enjoyment.

“This hotel strikes me as a place of contrasts: it's a luxury property with Bosphorus views and an award-winning spa, but some experiences seem inconsistent with its five-star aspirations. With its diverse restaurants and proximity to Dolmabahce Palace, it is an interesting base to explore the city from, but I think potential guests should weigh the elements carefully.”
