The Georges Hotel Galata

Istanbul is one of the world's great cities, straddling two continents on the Bosphorus. The historic peninsula holds Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, Topkapı Palace and the Grand Bazaar, while across the Golden Horn, Galata and Karaköy are full of galleries, cafés and rooftop bars.
Where to stay
Sultanahmet puts you within walking distance of the great monuments, though it is quiet at night. Galata, Karaköy and Cihangir are livelier, with better restaurants. The Bosphorus shores offer waterside calm.
Good to know
Ferries are the most beautiful way to get around, and the Bosphorus cruise is unmissable. Spring and autumn are the best seasons; summers are hot and busy.
