A unique combination of historical architecture and contemporary design; at W Istanbul, the magnificence of the Ottoman legacy has been poetically infused with the signature W touch. Located in a complex which includes luxury residences and designer stores, the W Istanbul exudes a neo-bohemian lifestyle all its own. The Hotel is a landmark building in an area that is home to the famous Akaretler Row Houses, built in the late 19th century.
