5-star hotel in a historic Sultanahmet prison building with a landscaped courtyard

Building & Grounds

Four Seasons Hotel Istanbul At Sultanahmet occupies a three-storey, neo-classic prison building from the early 20th century. The hotel surrounds a landscaped courtyard with a glass-pavilion restaurant, creating a private outdoor oasis in the middle of the Old City. Original works by Turkish artisans, including handwoven Turkish rugs, are displayed throughout the property.

Dining

Seasons Restaurant, located within a glass pavilion in the courtyard garden, serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner against a backdrop of Ottoman-period features. A'YA Lounge on the rooftop offers views of the Old City, Hagia Sophia, and Blue Mosque alongside a menu of savoury snacks like mussels dolma and lamb durum. The hotel also houses four restaurants, a bar, and La Pistache gourmet patisserie providing unique desserts.

Rooms

The hotel offers 65 luxury guest rooms and suites, each decorated in a Turkish theme with neoclassical details. Every room includes a marble bathroom with a deep soaking tub and a flat-screen TV with CD and DVD players. Handwoven Turkish rugs and original works by Turkish artisans are standard in all accommodations.

Location

The hotel is situated 350 metres from Topkapi Palace, with Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, and the Basilica Cistern within a five-minute walk. Direct access to Sultanahmet Square provides immediate proximity to Istanbul's major cultural anchor points. A free shuttle service connects guests to the hotel's sister property on the Bosphorus.

Wellness & Services
