"Opulence and luxury... The hotel strives for a niche alongside that of the other multistarred hotels with exotic massage treatments, a premier health center, and fitness packages."

"There is no such thing here as a room without some kind of a view."
Travel + Leisure
"Amenities include an on-site Turkish hamam (sauna), indoor pool, and outdoor spa in the summer months, but the real attraction might be the views of the Bosphorus and Golden Horn."

"This hotel is more modern than the other luxury brands in town and escapes the opportunity for Turkish decor and heavy architectural influence."

"This is the ideal place to spoil yourself. Less authentically refurbished than some other establishments, it is, nevertheless, a refined hotel that deserves its palace title."
Star Service
"This low-lying reddish-pink boutique-hotel in the heart of Old Istanbul was designed to look old in a faux-Classical style that some will like while leaving others cold."

Staffers are friendly although a bit distant and not quick on their feet to respond to guest requests.

"The Sultanahmet Palace Hotel is a solid three-pearl option for travelers who want to be in the historic quarter as close to the Blue Mosque as possible."
