Best Western The President Hotel

This seven-story hotel in the central Eminönü district, situated in Istanbul’s Old City, is 200 meters from The Grand Bazaar.

Rooms have modern décor in muted colors and polished wooden headboards; some have views of the Marmara Sea.

Guests can sweat it out in the pine and eucalyptus-scented steam room, and sample Turkish delights in the Ocakbasi restaurant.
