A gem of a find- I thought we were headed to the Four Seasons Istanbul until I found this Marriot Bonvoy hotel as a completely overhauled historical building blocks from the Bosphorous and from the top sites in Istanbul. The architectural and interior design details are impeccable, but pale in comparison to the top notch staff that give a different meaning to hospitality.

Istanbul is a great city and you can't find a better location than hotel Sultania. All the main attractions (topkapi palace, hagia sophia, basilic cistern, blu mosque, Egyptian bazaar) are within walking distance, the longest we walked was to the grand bazaar which was about 1 km. However, the tram is right around the corner if you don't like to walk, and is very frequent. Even the ferries to galata and the Asian side are walking distance.
