Boutique Elegance at Taksim Square

Quiet, Convenient Luxury

Located in a quiet corner of Istanbul's fashionable Taksim Square neighborhood, adjacent to Gezi Park, the Gezi Hotel Bosphorus is a small, affordable gem nestled amid many larger, international hotels. Situated within walking distance of restaurants, transportation, shopping, and sightseeing, the Gezi Hotel Bosphorus offers an excellent location, well-appointed modern rooms, and gracious service -- all at a price that is generally less than is charged by neighboring hotels.

Free WiFi and a Turkish Bath

All 65 guest rooms at this 12-story, four-star boutique hotel feature satellite television, air conditioning, luxury bedding, and personal safes.  Some of the rooms on the top floors even boast panoramic views of the Bosphorus River. The hotel's Loft Suite offers two levels of living space plus a romantic Jacuzzi tub with a view of the river, and the garden suite features its own patio and private garden. A few of the rooms have kitchenettes.

Facilities at the Gezi Hotel Bosphorus include a Mediterranean-style restaurant, an indoor swimming pool and Turkish bath, a sauna, a fitness room, and a coffee shop. A complimentary, buffet-style breakfast is served to guests each morning.

Free wireless Internet access is available throughout the guest rooms and the public rooms at the Gezi Hotel Bosphorus. The hotel also offers limited room service, valet laundry, self-service laundry facilities, free self-parking, and a shuttle for door-to-door transportation to and from the Ataturk International Airport.

Convenient Taksim Square Location

The Gezi Hotel Bosphorus is located in the heart of Istanbul's tony Taksim neighborhood near major tourist attractions, shopping, restaurants, and the scenic Bosphorus River. The hotel is also just steps away from the city's central subway station, so getting to other parts of the city is easy and affordable.

This hotel is also near the shopping, dining, and people-watching on Independence Avenue; browsing and bartering for brass, rugs, and alabaster at the Grand Bazaar; and exploring the majesty of past eras at the massive and ornate Dolmabahce Palace.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a hotel in the heart of Istanbul's bustling Taksim Square area, but you'd rather not have to deal with the crowds in the bigger chain hotels, the Gezi Hotel Bosphorus offers an elegant, quiet, and luxurious alternative. This independent hotel is friendly, upscale without being showy, and just a short walk or subway ride away for the city's major tourist and business centers.
