Erten Konak

Constructed under orders of General Cemal at the start of the 20th century, Erten Konak will take you on a journey to the past and captivate all your senses. Only a short walk from many of Istanbul's most prized landmarks, this 16-unit residence is comprised of 2 separate houses, each carefully restored to preserve the property's original charm and features. Tastefully decorated suites, high ceilings, large windows, and marble or wooden floors with Turkish carpets highlight an authentic Ottoman flavor. Not to be missed are the hotel's sprawling gardens. The Tulip Garden, found at the entrance, features a handsome mosaic floor, while the Winter Garden is situated behind the building and serves as both a breakfast hall and snack bar.

More than just relaxing hideouts after a busy day of travel, Erten Konak's generously spaced suites are sure to excite the eye with lovely furnishings, elegant chandeliers, and handsome wallpaper prints. Many of the units enjoy stunning views of the Blue Mosque and Marmara Islands. The suites also ensure homely comfort with oversized beds, complimentary internet access, TV, and central heating and cooling systems. The suites' tiled bathrooms are fitted with bathtubs and Jacuzzis. If you're hungry, you can head to the onsite cafe found on the terrace. Other nice touches include airport transfers, laundry, parking, and a 24 hour reception.

The hotel is situated in the heart of Istanbul's historical area. It is 100 meters from notable sites including the Blue Mosque, Sultanahmet Square, Hagia Sophia Museum, Topkapı Palace, and several coveted museums. The property is also 18 kilometers away from Istanbul Ataturk International Airport.
