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.
