Armada Hotel

Located at the heart of Istanbul's historical peninsula with views of two of the most magnificent masterpieces of world architecture, Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque, Hotel Armada transports its guests to the world of days gone by and a traditional style of life with an ambience characterised by famous Turkish hospitality. Elements of modern comfort and convenience have been carefully blended into the historical atmosphere both in the exterior and in the interior design. Located in a series of 16th century houses constructed by marine soldiers the establishment has undergone a excellent restoration of its façade, faithfully reminiscent of their history and achieving an exterior in accordance with the atmosphere of the place, a harmonious mix of the past and present. The Armada’s 108 rooms, decorated in the Ottoman style are a graceful blend of past and present and offer all modern amenities.

The rooms offer a classic decoration in Ottoman style that is adorned with traditional paintings or "Edirnekari" to which all of today's modern comforts have been included. In 2004 the bathrooms were refurbished to provide a modern look as well as a bathtub.
The original lobby of the Armada Hotel is perhaps the key part of the edifice and is the ideal place to meet and share experiences. Located around its beautiful marble fountain is the Radio Bar, a traditional Ottoman style salon, a Western café, business centre and five business meeting rooms.
During the summer, the rooftop terrace competes with the lobby for guest's attention and is the perfect place to start the day with a hearty breakfast and unbeatable views of the Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and the Mármara sea. Two gourmet restaurants are in charge of delighting exquisite gourmets with typical Turkish specialties. One of the restaurants, housed in glass, becomes a warm winter terrace with great views.

The Armada Hotel is located in west of the the Old Town of Istanbul, alongside the shore of the Mármara sea. Only ten minutes walk away guests will find some of the most emblematic and beautiful monuments of the city, such as the Topkapi Palace, the Blue Mosque and the Hagia Sophia. The location is easily accessed and well-connected with other locations and makes it ideal for business or pleasure.
