Ancient empires collide in a city where Europe meets Asia across the Bosphorus. Marvel at Hagia Sophia's soaring dome before exploring the Blue Mosque's intricate tilework. Haggle for treasures in the labyrinthine Grand Bazaar, where shopkeepers pour apple tea while displaying wares with theatrical flair. Topkapi Palace reveals Ottoman opulence through jewel-encrusted artifacts and harem quarters where sultans once ruled. Escape the bustle at a traditional hammam, where attendants scrub away your tourist status along with dead skin. For sunset views, catch a ferry crossing the strait – locals do this daily commute with enviable nonchalance. The Turkish and Islamic Art Museum showcases centuries of craftsmanship in a former palace setting.

"Si nous pouvions, nous donnerions 10 étoiles à cet hôtel. Malgré le confort, la plupart des hôtels laissent souvent quelque chose à redire, mais pas celui-ci. Que ce soit le confort des chambres, la beauté du design, l’emplacement calme mais avec tout ce qu’il faut à proximité, la politesse et l’efficacité des employé(e)s… tout est excellent. Un merci particulier à messieurs Anday, Ümit et Özgür, qui ont fait preuve d’un excellent service pendant le séjour. Également à messieurs Adem et Barış, qui nous ont facilité le jour du départ avec nos bagages. Merci à tout le personnel. Merci Wyndham, et sans aucun doute à bientôt, pour une quatrième venue."
