Experts' Choice Award The Bank Hotel Istanbul
What the experts agree on
Housed in a converted 19th-century bank in Karaköy, this boutique hotel pairs original vaults and frescoed ceilings with sleek modern design, marble bathrooms, a spa/hammam, and Golden Horn views.
“Classic architecture and charming historic features (including the eponymous vaults) but added plenty of modern delights: there’s a spa, stylish modern decor and even its own in-house art curator.”
– Mr & Mrs Smith
