Istanbul / Accommodation / Serviced Apartments


 

Close to the financial district, this luxury apartment complex has a choice of one, two and three-bedroom apartments for short or long-term lets. All are furnished to a high standard and equipped with satellite TV, hi-fi systems and internet access. Other facilities include a pool, sauna and fitness centre, plus you’re located on top of the Akmerkez, one of the city’s premier shopping malls. If you’re too busy, or lazy, to shop for yourself, there’s even a complimentary delivery service.

 

The Galata Residence is an aparthotel in a building constructed by the Kamondos, a wealthy and influential Leventine family who lived in Pera, the European district of Ottoman Istanbul, in the 19th century. In those days Karakoy was the banking and commercial district, but now it’s considerably more run down. Still, the Galata Residence is well located, with the sights of the old city just across the Galata bridge and the shopping and nightlife of Beyoglu nearby. The small apartments are comfortable, but by no means luxurious, and consist of two double rooms, a kitchen and a sitting area. There’s a scenic restaurant on the top floor and an atmospheric bar in the vaulted basement.

 

Centrally located near Taksim Square, the Hyatt Regency has seven luxurious apartments. The two-bedroom, two-bathroom units are tastefully furnished and include fully equipped kitchens and offices with broadband internet access. Secretarial services are also on hand, if you need them. There’s a private terrace to unwind on, as well as access to all the hotel’s dining and leisure facilities, making these apartments a perfect business base.

 

Slap bang in the middle of town and run by the respected Divan Hotel chain, the Taksim Suites tick all the right boxes. Stylish and comfortable, the decor is minimalist and cool, with pale wood floors and simple furnishings. The huge penthouse suite is equipped with a Jacuzzi, where you can relax while gazing across the rooftops at the Bosporus. The suites are complemented by a small gym, internet facilities and a restaurant.
