The
Hilton Istanbul was the first deluxe
hotel built in the city (1954).
Having
been built first, it had the pick
of the best sites, which is
why it has 13 acres (over 5 hectares)
of gardens, with tennis
courts and swimming
club, and superb views over Dolmabahce
Palace to the Bosphorus beyond.
The
Hilton is only a 15-minute walk north
of Taksim
Square northwest of Beyoglu,
the shopping and nightclub district.
Most
of the hotel's east-facing rooms
have splendid Bosphorus views;
the ones looking west overlook the
city, which is less inspiring, but
not bad. It's also the only top luxury
hotel in which every room
has its own balcony.
I
really like the Hilton Istanbul.
It has always been Istanbul's status
address for me because of its great
location, spacious gardens, and excellent
staff.

on the left-hand side of the Hilton
Istanbul page.
Other
luxury hotels are nearby, and even
a bit closer to Taksim
Square, but without the Hilton's
spacious grounds or balconies: look
at the Divan
Oteli, the Ceylan
Inter-continental, and the Hyatt
Regency Istanbul.
It's easy to reserve
a value-priced private airport
transfer to the hotel
in a Mercedes-Benz vehicle
that costs only slightly more than
a taxi,
and significantly less than two taxis
(which you'll need if you have 4+
people and/or lots of luggage), and far
more pleasant, comfortable and trustworthy. More...
