The exotically named Yasmak Sultan Hotel is superbly located in the old town city centre district of Sirkeci, with practically all of Istanbul's most renowned historical sites no more than 5-7 minutes' walk away - and this includes Hagia Sofia, The Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace and the Basilica Cistern. Sights such as the Spice Bazaar and Grand Bazaar are also within easy walking distance. The Yasmak Sultan Hotel offers a level of accommodation similar to that of a boutique hotel, with facilities normally associated with larger 4-star properties, i.e. fitness room, sauna, Turkish bath, a spectacular rooftop a-la-carte restaurant, and a pleasant lobby bar. The ambience of the Yasmak Sultan manages to combine refinement with friendly service, whereas the hotel's style and location combine contemporary services with historic surroundings. Guest may wish to note that the hotel is also within walking distance of Eminonu Piers, the starting point for many of the Bosphorus cruises and ferry crossings to Asia.
