A
beautifully designed hotel with its own art gallery, The Sofa Hotel
& Residences is in the middle of Nisantasi, Istanbul's hippest
district. If location is everything, The Sofa Hotel & Residences, in Istanbul's main shopping and restaurant zone, is the place to be.
The Sofa seamlessly combines Istanbul's heritage with modern luxury.
Rooms and suites are adorned with specially designed sofas (how
appropriate), plus rain showers, personalized letterhead, and ... well,
you get the picture. Just press the "Anytime, Anything" button 24 hours a
day and staff will take care of whatever you need.
Art aficionados love Art*8, a studio space showcasing local and
international artists (also a great meeting venue.) And the Sofa has its
own Spa & Wellness Centre, with Turkish Hammam Baths, stress
removal programs, and a range of facial and body therapies.
Want an informal meal? Try Café Sofa - its bookstore, Patika, houses a
collection of rare books. And if you want something a bit more elegant
(or you're craving a steak), head for Longtable, which features a
terrace resembling the Vineyards of Babylon.
