Hettie Hotel

Named after the daughter of a British diplomat who was born and lived in Istanbul at the turn of the 20th century, this boutique-styled hotel consists of 23 attractively decorated rooms and features a terrace restaurant with spectacular views. Located by the Bosphorus and facing the Golden Horn, the hotel is uniquely positioned for some of the best views of the city. Galata Bridge is a couple of minutes' walk from the hotel, which can be walked across to reach the Sultanahmet district, just over 2 km away. Istiklal Avenue is a 15-minute walk and leads into the Taksim Square.
