Doubletree Hotel Istanbul

Stay in Old Town Istanbul, Turkey

Check in to Affordable DoubleTree by Hilton in Center City

Staying at the affordable DoubleTree by Hilton Istanbul-Old City gives you a true sense of Turkey. Only steps away from ancient ruins, history, and culture, you'll find a variety of authentic customs at your threshold. Finding one of the DoubleTree Hilton's 171 inviting rooms to fit your needs is easy. This five-star hotel presents luxury the moment you walk in with its marble floors and warm colors. The luxuriously appointed rooms create a homey feeling.

Investigate Sleek and Comfortable Rooms

Take your shoes off, don the bed slippers provided by Hilton, and relax on the premium bedding. Make yourself a cup of coffee, or just chill while watching the 32-inch LCD television. Sip a cold beverage from the minibar, or sit in the ergonomic chair next to the desk. Take a shower in the marble bath, dry your hair, or plug into the MP3 docking station. Your room at the DoubleTree Hilton is a place of solace after a long day.

Check Out Places to Visit in Old City

Just outside the hotel's doors is Beyazit Square. Some ruins of this former Forum Tauri still stand. Nearby is the Grand Bazaar, the largest and oldest covered market in the world, built in the 15th century. Enjoy the colorful, chaotic atmosphere visiting thousands of shops covering 61 streets. Search for the perfect gift of Turkish ceramics, tapestries, carpets, textiles, or jewelry. Just prepare beforehand how to bargain, show proper etiquette, and shop. 

Next, visit the Topkapi Palace, which features a series of Ottoman Empire pavilions. Once home to the sultans and their harems, it also served as the seat of government. You might also want to see the Hippodrome of Constantinople, once the center of Byzantium's life and the site of competitive chariot races. Additional inexpensive hotels, such as the Wyndham Istanbul Old City, are nearby, and one, the Best Western Plus The President Hotel, even features a nightclub.

Bottom Line

And after a day of touring, wind down in the DoubleTree Hilton health club's steam room or sauna. Stop by the library to catch up on historical facts, or head to the meeting room to set up for the next day. Whether here for business or pleasure, experience Turkish cuisine in the Terrace Restaurant. The metro and train are nearby, and Istanbul Ataturk Airport is just over 7 miles away.
