Discover Istanbul, the Last Step in Europe and the First in Asia, with a Luxury Stay in Authentic Suites at Four Seasons Hotel Istanbul at Sultanahmet This Summer
Housed in a century-old neoclassical Turkish prison, Four Seasons Hotel Istanbul at Sultanahmet introduces Suite Authentic, the Hotel’s luxury accommodation package offering a genuine Istanbul experience just a few steps from the city’s important landmarks in Sultanahmet. One can escape to Four Seasons Hotel Sultanahmet to indulge in a memorable Istanbul experience in summer, enjoying the city’s mild climate, historical attractions surrounding the Hotel, diverse outdoor entertainment, cultural events and festivals, and many shopping options including designer labels and traditional souvenirs. Set in the historical peninsula, the Hotel is neighbour to the city’s most significant souks, such as Grand Bazaar and Spice Market. Although Istanbul has become a year-round destination, summer is a perfect season to enjoy city’s magnificent vistas, rooftop bars - one of which is Hotel’s renowned A’YA Lounge - night clubs by the Bosphorus and designer shops. It is also an ideal time for cruising along the Bosphorus Strait and viewing the best samples of Istanbul’s traditional architecture. Designed to offer multiple delights to visitors of Istanbul, the Suite Authentic accommodation package includes two-way transfers from Atatürk International Airport, as well as daily breakfast for two. The team at Four Seasons Hotel Istanbul at Sultanahmet wants to create a memorable Istanbul experience by incorporating the most loved Turkish elements with signature Four Seasons services in the Hotel’s intimate setting. The Hotel’s beautifully designed suites relate directly to the rich history and culture of Istanbul and offer a strong sense of place with their breathtaking views of the manicured courtyard as well as St. Sophia and Blue Mosque. Luxury has always been about personalisation – knowing, understanding and anticipating individual needs and exceeding expectations. Whether it is family photos by the bedside, fresh flowers with breakfast, or an individualised room amenity from the pastry team, making a hotel room feel like a home is all in the tiny details. When guests stay at any of the chic suites of Four Seasons Hotel Sultanahmet, they can be rest assured that the suite will be made just for them. With one of the most authentic and one-of-a-kind suite collections in Istanbul, guests can pick up from impressive Executive Suite to two Presidential Suites: St. Sophia and Marmara, each containing a living room with fireplace, dining area for 6-8 guests and three private terraces offering exceptional city views. In their intimate residential setting, guests can truly make themselves at home – whether they wish to lounge around with their favourite book in the living area or enjoy a magnificent Old Town silhouette from their balcony. Inspired from the culture and heritage of Istanbul, the interior design in suites reflects the footsteps of past empires. Recurrent Turkish themes pass through all the guest rooms: headboards and bedposts resemble the dome and minarets of a mosque, whilst geometric designs and framed displays of decorative fabrics and marbled paper recall strong traditions of Turkish craftsmanship. Traditional kilims (flat-woven rugs) and mosaic detailing add local touches to the marble bathrooms, all of which feature deep-soak tubs and separate glass-walled showers. Balanced Four Seasons elegance and the mysticism of Old Town shows itself in the tiny details of each suite. This indigenous indulgence is now offered to ensure a luxury accommodation at Four Seasons Hotel Istanbul at Sultanahmet. The Suite Authentic accommodation package is valid for two-night minimum stays until December 26, 2015.
