"From a block of abandoned row houses built in 1875 by Sultan Abdülaziz, to a stylish Starwood-branded W Hotel targeting the young, hip, and yes, even club-going set."

"Istanbul is fast becoming Europe's capital of cool, and its hip-o-meter certainly clocked up a couple more notches with the April 2008 opening of the W in the unlikely... neighborhood of Beşiktaş."
Fodor's
"An 1870s Ottoman block of row houses has been restored and enhanced with posh ultramodernity—sexy lighting, chic East-meets-West decor, and cool amenities."

"Under the same polished management as the Pudding Shop, this is a distinctive Wedgwood blue konak (wooden mansion) restored in period style in the heart of Sultanahmet."
Time Out

Corner rooms are popular, but not all boast the same views so it is best to request in advance.
