This recently built hotel has an inviting sense of place as well as welcome facilities for travellers of all ages.
Anyone who prefers to splash their holiday cash on experiences rather than plush accommodation will appreciate this city bolthole. Its location in the bustling Taksim area means shops, restaurants and public transport on the doorstep and the historic sights of Sultanahmet within walking distance. And when you’ve done enough exploring for the day, there are thoughtful facilities, including a wellness centre with a hammam and indoor pool, plus a bistro-style eatery in case you’re too exhausted to go out. The recently refurbished rooms are made for comfort rather than cutting-edge style but feel welcoming and cosy.
Why we love Occidental Taksim
-
It’s in the heart of elegant European Istanbul, metres from lively Taksim Square and surrounded by places to eat, drink and shop.
-
A stay here won’t break the bank – it’s one of our favourite hotels in Istanbul for value for money.
-
There’s a wellness centre where you can cool off in the indoor pool, get steamy in the hammam and book a muscle-soothing massage.
-
The breakfast buffet is well worth getting out of bed for, with an array of delicious fresh organic and local products to linger over.
Rooms
With their warm, contemporary décor, the 162 rooms provide a snug and comfortable place to relax between sightseeing sessions.
Simply-designed rooms with twin beds or a king-size bed.
