"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."

"The Richmond has a fabulous location right next to the palatial Russian consulate on the city’s major boulevard. Behind its 19th-century facade, the place is modern, quite comfortable and well run."
