The Hippodrome is just
behind the Blue Mosque
(looking from the water)
and is a very attractive
choice for an Istanbul
hotel as many will have
wonderful views over
both the Hippodrome and
the mosque. Staying in
one of these hotels in
Istanbul really gives a
true sense of history of
the old city and there
are many different ones
to choose from,
including converted old
Ottoman houses and
wooden mansions from the
19th century.
In the mornings, you can
drink your coffee at
hotel’s
roof restaurant,
admiring the sunrise
over ancient
Constantinople... In the
evenings, you can enjoy
a glass of wine at
hotel’s terrace, looking
at the bustle of the
city on streets of this
not big and ancient
district. During the day
time, you can have long
walks between old
Constantinople palaces.
At nights, listen to the
rhythm of Istanbul and
the beats of your
hearts. Don't miss the
chance to feel this old
city.
